"Skinny Fat" & annoying belly

[crumbsinmahbednomore]

So I'm a Skinny Fatty. Size 10, don't mind how wide I am or what I weigh but my natural build is tall and slim, it's this random excess fat all concentrated on my stomach that really bothers me. I have to buy pants in a bigger size just to accommodate the belly even though they don't fit in other areas as I have normal sized other parts. Ugh

Some suggestions here.

Good stuff, reduced carbs, I eat a lot less than I used to, I do eat a sandwich and some carbs ( I tend to have small roll, dinner 1/2 portion of rice, or rice pasta/spelt/kamut, I tend to be quite sensitive to normal pasta).

Started having creme friache for breakfast ( yoghurt of any sort is too acidic) with fruit, and about 1/2 a teasp of honey, either that or nut butter on toast and fruit.

I am finding I have more 'belly' fat due to menopasal state, which is annoying, tackling the causes tho, and thinner than I've been in years

Is it, hormonal? I know it can be

True some is hormonal. We can exercise and eat a balance diet low in carb's, moderate protein which includes meat and fish. Leafy greens and veggie's to round things out. I have found increasing my exercise both in a gym and walking to be the beast help.
