Belly Fat Lies: Why Crunches Aren't the Answer

from Straight Talk, Strong Moms

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Every mom I talk to wants to lose the "mom pouch." Every mom has tried crunches to do it. Every mom is shocked when it doesn't work.Spoiler: it's not you, it's biology. Spot reduction — the idea that you can target fat loss to one specific body part — is a myth that's survived decades of infomercials. Your body burns fat all over, based on genetics, hormones, and its own mysterious agenda.In this episode: the real science of fat loss, why cortisol loves to camp out in your midsection postpartum, what crunches are actually good for (hint: not this), and the boring but effective playbook that works instead. Bring your coffee. Leave your waist trainer at home.
