I eat a few small meals each day, am active.. How to reduce my stomach and butt ?

Question

I am constantly running up and down stairs taking 4 dogs for a walk.... what type of diet is best to reduce below the waist body fat? My stomach, butt and upper thighs are bigger than they have been in years. I sometimes sit and have a full meal but normally just eat a few small meals a few times a day.

Thanks for your question. Minimizing carbohydrates and relying upon a higher protein diet is almost universally successful. Ideal Protein is a good system that helps with meal replacement but doesn't obligate you to their program forever. It is often a good idea to start a food diary. Literally write down everything you eat for a week or two. The amount is helpful, but it is the type of food that will be most important to look at. Hopefully your primary care physician or gynecologist can refer you to a nutritionist to help you look at your diary and get you started on a program that will benefit you. Best of Luck!

It is combination of caloric intake and exercise.  You either need to increase your exercise or decrease your caloric intake.  I would seek out advice from  a nutrittionist recommended by your family doctor

This is a great question for your Primary Care Physician.  Schedule an appointment to discuss your weight, and dieting, if he feels that is needed.
