How Can Abdominal Fat Be Reduced?

I am 68 years old and am having trouble finding clothes that fit. I have lost weight in my arms, legs, butt, but not from my abdomen or waist, so nothing fits me. The back, legs and arms are too big and I feel like I am in a clown costume. Anne Weiner YYYY@YYYY

Hi Anne,
Thanks for choosing and writing to HCM.
I understand your concern.
When you do your weight reduction by means of diet and exercise, abdominal fat is the last to reduce substantially.
Kindly continue to do exercise and do more of exercise concerned with abdomen (abs) to substantially reduce abdominal fat. There are exercises which are specifically designed to reduce abdominal fat, which you need to do more.
Consume diet less in carbohydrates and fats with more of vegetables and proteins.
Gradually, you should be able to reduce your abdominal fat substantially.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best and wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
