Natalie Jill explains that a protruding midsection typically stems from one of three causes: excess body fat, temporary bloating, or loose/excess skin. For excess fat she recommends overall fat loss through a natural, balanced diet and workouts that burn calories and build muscle; for bloating she suggests increased water intake, removing artificial sweeteners and potential allergens (grains, dairy); for excess skin she notes it cannot be removed non-surgically but its appearance can be improved by losing fat and building muscle. The video ends with a paid call-to-action for her “Aging in Reverse” community (trial $10).

Let's talk about the flat belly situation and what's going on there because it's one of three things and it's super simple to address any of them. So first, what are the three things that it could be? Number one, it could be excess fat. Now if it's excess fat, the good news is you can definitely get rid of it. The bad news is you cannot spot reduce. You can't spot reduce, but what you can do is lose overall body fat and, and that'll show through in that midsection if you're doing exercises to create muscle development in those areas. Okay, so how do you do that? Through changing your diet, eating a natural unprocessed food diet, balanced the right way and not too much. And also through your workouts, by burning calories through your workouts and then also by creating muscle which makes it so you burn and use more fat and calories at rest. So overall body fat will show through there. Now if it's the second thing, bloating, that's a little bit different. Now if it's bloating, that is typically, typically diet related. It can be hormones, but it's typically diet related. So how do you address that? Number one, you drink a lot more water. You see, when you're dehydrated and not drinking enough water, your body will hold on to excess water. So by simply hydrating more, you going to get rid of more water retention. The second thing is cleaning up that diet. Artificial sweeteners are a huge culprit of bloating. So if you're chewing sugar free gum, drinking diet soda, you are going to bloat. Also known allergens like grains, like dairy, they may not affect everyone, but it might be affecting you. So by taking those things out, testing that out, you may shed that excess water weight. Okay, the third thing might be excess skin. Now how do you get rid of that excess skin? You can't. But don't worry, you can drastically change the appearance of it. Now let me show you what I'm talking about here. So look, if you look at me close, this is excess skin from years ago when I weighed a lot more and had just had a baby. That's excess skin that doesn't go away. However, you can't really tell, right, because I have lost that overall fat. I've developed muscle in that area and I watch what I'm eating, so I don't have that bloat. So when you say how do I get rid of that excess skin? That is how you don't get rid of it. You change the appearance of it. Okay. If you want the help on exactly what I eat and the portions so you know how to do that and the exact workout moves that I do, I'm giving them all to you.
