1. Insulin

Insulin does not necessarily add belly fat, but it can and will if blood sugar levels are elevated. Find the food cause in terms of blood sugar spikes.

2. Cortisol

Believe it or not, carbohydrates are not the only way to spike your blood sugar. High levels of stress can create your own internal glucose spike, which can add belly fat.

3. Controlled IF

If you fast too long you’re in trouble. If you don’t fast long enough you’re missing out on the benefits. The trick is to find the sweet spot for you.
