For many women are regular binge drinking is leading to an increase in women’s waist lines. Whereas in the past only men suffered noticeably from the beer belly, more and more women are finding that they are putting extra fat on around their waists, rather than around the bum and thighs, which is the natural place for women to accumulate fat. Cutting back on alcohol is the fourth rule on how to lose belly fat, so women that wish to regain their flat stomachs should take heed to the belly fat rules. The new figure that women have started to develop even has a name now – the wine class figure – named really because increase bellies in women are often as a result of increased consumption of wine when out socialising, and entertaining clients. Jacqui Lowdon of the British Dietetic Association says that women who are watching their waist line need to watch their wine glasses.

Yeah that is exactly what I have, a beer belly. The rest of my body is not big at all so you can imagine how it looks…horrible. I never had a stomach, it was always flat and even with the rest of my body. Beer puts your whole body out of shape even to where you have fat under your chin. I had to slow down and start back exercising. Wish me luck. I will give an update in 3 months.
Beer bellies are actually pretty dangerous with regards to health. Fat on bums and thighs is subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) whereas a beer belly is caused by visceral fat, which is fat that accumulates around the internal organs. This is what causes disease. So yep, get exercising, burn it off, and go easy on the booze!
