My body is muscular but may stomach is fat and bloated all the time, sometimes distended. I'm 39, I have 3 kids, i weigh 131 lbs and I'm 5'1". I was recently put on Alevian duo for the stomach issues. I had gestational diabetes with all 3 pregnancies. I have APS.

Helloo..
Thank you for choosing HCM.
First of all there is no such thing as loosing fat in a particular spot basically , spot reduction is not possible , but what you can do is lower your overall body fat % to get rid of the fat in your midsection.
Follow these guide lines:
1.Do aerobic exercises , such as jogging or going for a brisk walk for 30-45 mins everyday
2.Eat 4-5 small meals a day( this is to boost your metabolism , basically eat small meals every 3 hours)
3.Avoid carbs and alls sorts of processed foods and sugary drinks.
4.Drink plenty of water 1.5-2 litres a day
Follow these guidelines and you should be on your way to burn off that stubborn belly fat.
Thank you and take care
