To get rid of love handles and lower stomach fat for good, you need to change your diets, exercise,<br />
and lifestyle.<br />
Luckily, these changes are simple and easy to make, and the results are to last for the lifetime.<br />
If you are ready, here are 14 simple ways to get rid of love handles and lose lower belly fat.<br />
1. Reduce Your Stress<br />
According to a Yale study, high-level stress may cause excess abdominal fat, even in slender women<br />
The study explains that high level of cortisol (stress hormone) can be responsible for fat storage<br />
around your midsection.<br />
Simply put, stress formulates the perfect path way to the lower belly fat.<br />
The more stress you have, the more cortisol you'll build up, and more fat you accumulate, especially<br />
in the belly area.<br />
In addition to an increase of fat storage around the abdominal region, stress also drives people to eat<br />
more than they normally do.<br />
And for most women, when the stress hits and the hunger skyrockets, they often reach out for<br />
comfort foods like fatty fries and sugary cakes.<br />
British Nutrition Foundation calls this phenomenon "stress-induced changes in eating behavior .<br />
In easier terms, we are wired to grab sugary, fatty food during cortisol surge and high-stress time.<br />
This is true even for healthy weight women.<br />
In fact, their study notes anywhere from 65-85% of women are at risk of stress-induced changes in<br />
eating and body weight changes.<br />
After all, all those foods we call comfort foods truly send our brain the signal of pleasure and comfort<br />
and really comfort our brains at the time of stress.<br />
This makes reaching for healthier alternatives really hard when everything your body is craving is<br />
fatty, sugary foods.<br />
All these excess calories do not get distributed and stored as fat evenly throughout the body.<br />
Instead, cortisol promotes fat storage in the stomach area. And this can be cyclical.<br />
A recent sutudy show women with a larger waistline is more prone to secrete cortisol at the time of<br />
stress, creating a recurring cycle<br />
