Ahh, the big round hard bellies means he is collecting fat on his internal organs, and weight gain around the waist is very dangerous. Men with a waist size of over 38 more than double their risk of heart disease.

If your man has a huge jolly belly it is a huge health risk and not one to be taken lightly. I betcha if he is checked out his liver is at least 25% larger than it should be.

So, there's some hope for us "stomachly challenged" males.

I loved the comments from all the "girls", but seriously, if a stranger with a paunch tried to chat you up, would you give him a second glance ?

How to get that flat stomach look and get rid of big tummy, pot belly and beer belly fast?

By exercising your Transversus Abdominus Muscle. This is the muscle in your abdomen that holds your stomach in giving you the flat belly look. This muscle acts like a corset around your tummy by holding your tummy in and if the muscle is weak, your belly will be distended more easily making your tummy looking much bigger than it should just like having a beer belly. This is one of the reasons why people have pot belly or beer belly besides simply blaming it on tummy fat. This is the muscle that can help you get that flat stomach look. If you want to get that flat stomach look, you must strengthen this muscle.

Just to have a feel of how this muscle work, try blowing out all the air in your lungs and pull your tummy in. There, you have just used your transversus abdominus muscle to execute that movement.

Start the exercise by exhaling all the air from your lungs hard. At the same time, pull in your tummy as tight as you can and at the same time visualizing your belly button is about to touch your spine. Do breathe lightly in that position and hold the posture for about 45 seconds. Then repeat the exercise for a few more sets. You will then be teaching your abs muscle to continuously hold your tummy in giving you flat stomach look.

The beauty of this exercise is that you carry it out everywhere and anywhere without ever going to the gym. It is so discreet that people will not even notice you exercising even when you are waiting for the office lift or at your desk at work.

A more effective version of this exercise would require you to be on all fours in a crawling position. Then execute the exercise as described above except that this time, you are on your hands and feet. Do both exercises every other day and when combined with a fat loss routine of a proper diet, weight training and cardio exercises, you will get that flat stomach look in no time along with that glorious six pack abs.

There is a difference between the big belly with fats which is the results because of extra fat all over the body and the other belly that you will find the guy completely thin but he got that one big as a watermelon ...

The last one is because of the wall of the tummy getting week because of lack of exercising and the insides are pushing out and while it's weak, they keep pushing creating a pressure there that goes bigger the more your insides pushes your tummy wall.

The other one, you need to have a diet and exercise as well to burn that fat. Some of them got that big, but when you punch him there it is really solid.

In the end it does not matter while you can enjoy your life and be happy ... Forget about wearing suits to cover it up or carrying a bag and put it in front of you ... It is either you leave it or just work hard on it to lose it ...

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
