你是哪种小肚腩？2016找对方法甩掉小肚腩

What Does It Look Like?
外观

Your tummy is prominent and sticks out, bulging like a spare tyre or muffin top. Your skin often feels hard to touch, as if there’s an inflated balloon deep inside.
腹部明显凸出，腰上的“游泳圈”清晰可见。你常常会感到腹胀难忍，仿佛吞下了一只气球。

What Causes It?
成因

This tummy starts out flat at the start of the day and usually expands as time goes on - particularly after meals. No matter how big it gets, you won’t see any change on the scales.
空腹时，你看不见小肚腩。但进食后，肚子越胀越大。不过，不管肚子胀得有多大，你的体重依然不变。

One of the main causes is a build-up of wind. As food gets broken down while it travels through the intestines, the bacteria that feed on it create up to six to eight litres of gas as a by-product.
造成这种肚腩的“幕后黑手”就是胃肠气。当食物经过肠道，体内的细菌便开始作用，分解残渣，同时产生6至8升的气体。

However, if the bugs in your gut have difficulty breaking down certain foods, it will also start to ferment, creating more wind, which starts to push the abdominal wall outwards.
然而，如果胃肠内细菌无法分解某些食物，就会开始发酵，还会产生更多的气体。无怪乎肚子会越来越大了。

Obesity surgeon Professor Basil Ammori, of the Salford Royal Hospital, says constipation and eating too much in one go can also create this effect.
索尔福德皇家医院的减肥医生巴兹尔·安蒙里称，便秘问题以及暴饮暴食都会导致肠胃胀气。
