Excess abdominal fat may be the result of consuming a diet that is heavy in added sugars.

Adding sweets to your diet can increase abdominal fat. Sugary drinks, processed snacks, and sweets add calories without much nourishment. Excess sugar can cause abdominal fat:

Sugars are high in calories but not filling. High-sugar foods and drinks can contribute to excessive calorie intake, which can be stored as fat, especially visceral fat around the abdomen.

Insulin Resistance: High added sugar intake can cause insulin resistance, which makes cells less receptive to insulin. Insulin resistance increases abdominal fat storage and visceral fat.

De novo lipogenesis converts glucose into fat in the liver when sugar intake is high. This can raise triglycerides and abdominal fat storage.

Increases Cravings and Overeating: Added sugars lack nutrients and fiber, causing blood sugar spikes and falls.

This can increase hunger, desires, and overeating, leading to weight gain and belly obesity.

To lose belly fat and enhance health, limit added sugars and eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and healthy fats.

A healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise, stress management, and enough sleep to lose weight and belly fat.
