Leg Exerciser
HELP!!!!! my body is CRAZY.?

Hi everyone. I have an issue. I have a belly. it’s not massive, but it’s pretty big. i can hide it wearing certain kinds of clothes and sucking in, but it’s still embarrassing to go swimming and stuff. the weird thing is, i’m not fat, i’m pretty skinny. and i’m a teenager. my eating habits are normal and i don’t even eat meat. a lot of my friends who eat meat eat a lot more than me but they have flat abs. it’s not fair and i’ts not my fault. i’m a regular exerciser too. in fact i have skinny arms and legs and i’m pretty tall. only i have a lot of belly blubber in the shape of a potbelly and i have no idea why. if you could explain this to me and help me flatten my belly that would be great. thank you!

First off, it sounds like you are doing your best to be healthy. Kudos to you! =D I also do not eat meat. I am taking steps to go vegan, I think that it is healthier way to eat. Maybe try to shove in more vegetables and fruit into your diet, as well as more legumes instead of high fat foods and snacks. Snack on raw veggies if you crave the crunch of chips, or air popped pop corn.
Depending on your exercises, maybe you are not engaging your core enough. Try some sit ups, and sit up variations such as jack knives and bicycles. They will help build up the muscle underneath the fat.
You will need to do cardio and exercises that make you move a lot to burn the fat. Adipose tissue does not go away, it simply become smaller as it is burned up.
Try tracking calories and aim for cutting no more than 500 from your average eating. This is pretty easy to do. But don’t starve yourself, that won’t help anything. It seems like you do not need to lose weight, just lower your body fat percentage.
And I know this next one may be a touchy issue, but maybe you don’t have enough fiber in your diet and aren’t having bowel movements regularly. This would cause you to be thicker in the abdomen. If this is the case, I know it is embarrassing but you should talk to the doctor or at least your parents to try to figure out if you need more fiber or if it is a medical issue.
Also, if nothing seems to help you should involve your doctor as it could be something medically wrong. I hope I helped!
