Irish doctor lost ‘hard to lose belly fat’ by making ‘body spending’ change

Galway: Dr. Eva Orsmond, an Irish doctor, recently shared her weight loss journey. She struggled with stubborn belly fat after facing personal challenges, including a pandemic and a divorce. Despite her expertise in weight loss, she found herself gaining weight.

Dr. Orsmond realized she needed to change her approach. She started asking herself the same questions her patients do. She focused on the health risks of excess belly fat, which can lead to serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

To tackle her weight, she wrote a book called “The Belly Fat Solution.” This book explains the science behind belly fat and offers practical tips. Dr. Orsmond emphasizes that our bodies tend to save energy rather than spend it. To lose weight, we need to shift this balance.

She also highlights the impact of alcohol on weight loss. Alcohol can hinder fat metabolism and make you feel hungrier. For example, a pint of beer has about 200 calories, while a glass of wine has around 120.

Her book includes calorie-counted meal plans and tasty recipes to help readers lose unwanted weight. “The Belly Fat Solution” is now available for €19.99.
