Very simply put.  It’s “Un-American”.  

Men in America are bombarded with imagery and commercials to consume alcohol.  They can’t escape it.  It’s everywhere.  From television, to restaurants to sporting events.   Where can a man go in the 21st century where he won’t be pressured or cajoled into drinking alcoholic beverages with the boys?

It's Easy to Look Like This

But if you’ve ever really pursued a flatter midsection but couldn’t nor can’t seem to pull it off, investigate your alcohol consumption.  If you knew the biochemical reactions the body produces with the introduction of alchohol into the bloodstream, you’d understand very simply why men have “BEER BELLIES” and lower trunk fat.  It’s a cruel fate what the body does with the alcohol it doesn’t excrete.  Alcohol is converted to TRIGLYCERIDE almost without fail.

Alcohol is a metabolic bully

Of course there is always the argument, “IT’S FUN” and the “How could you enjoy life without being drunk every weekend” mentality.   For most people this is a common and accepted way to live.   Just make sure you understand its “not your genetics” keeping you from leaning out and getting that flat ripped midsection if you ever pursue that goal.

In a future blog, I’ll relate the major reason most men can’t rid themselves of  the “pooch belly” right about and around the navel.   I think you’ll be surprised at the answer.
