MUFFIN TOP???? WHAT IS THAT?

Updated: Jul 29, 2022

Have you heard of a muffin top? In case you didn't find it before, here it is. Stubborn fat around the middle, sometimes known as "love handles" or "muffin tops," may be difficult to lose. Fat that protrudes horizontally above the waistband of a person's trousers or skirt, especially when there is gap between the top and bottom layers of clothing, is sometimes referred to as a muffin top.




Are you curious as to why you have a muffin top?

Multiple variables, including hormonal balance and dietary habits, might contribute to the development of muffin tops. It might be frustrating to try to lose weight when you don't know the root cause, as this is sometimes the case with women.


Hormone swings

When a woman's hormone levels vary, it may have an effect on her skin, her weight, and the density of her hair. Hormonal changes may occur naturally or as a result of ageing, birth control, or pregnancy. Eventually, your body will rebalance these hormone changes as normal. However, long-term hormonal imbalances affect certain women.


Sleep deprivation

An increase in cortisol may be triggered by chronic sleep deprivation lasting many days or weeks. Consequently, elevated cortisol levels lead to an expansion of the midsection. Not sleeping enough causes stress on your body, so this makes sense. Lack of sleep increases cortisol production by the adrenal glands, just as does continuous mental and physical stress. Sleep deprivation has been linked to an increase in cortisol. A good night's sleep is essential, too.


A lack of exercise

Sitting around all day increases the likelihood of developing a muffin top. You can lose that muffin top with exercise, but you have to do it the right way. Weekly cardio sessions that last for hours may have the reverse of the intended impact. While it's true that burning calories through exercise might help you slim down, doing too much of it can increase stress levels and make it tougher to lose weight. Switch out part of your cardio for strength training. Try this out!



Not having the correct foods

Eating a lot of highly processed foods can also make you fatter and give you a muffin top. Sugar and drinks with a lot of sugar are also a factor. Even fruit juice, which sounds healthy, can make you gain fat around your waist and stomach because it doesn't have the fibre that helps keep blood sugar steady.


How to hide this muffin top?


Wear tops that draw attention to your bust.

Make your bust stand out more to draw attention away from your muffin top. Choose a silhouette that reaches you at your smallest waist and floats over your middle. Trapeze and peplum tops are great choices if you want to show off your bust.


Wear a camisole on top.

With a little help from your underwear, you can keep things sleek and smooth. If you want a smooth line from your bust to your waist, try a shapewear camisole.

How to hide it in Jeans?

Try wearing high-waisted jeans.

The high-waisted pant is one of the most stylish things you can wear right now. Everyone looks good in high-waisted jeans, and they keep everything tucked in.


Choose jeans with a stretchy waistband.

A big reason for muffin tops? When the band around the waist of your pants is too tight. When you try on new pants, look for ones with a slight bend in the waistband so that you can move around in them.


Do wear low-rise jeans with longer tops

If you love low-rise jeans and can't stop wearing them, make sure your tops are a little longer to go with them. When you wear a shirt that's too short with pants that are too low, people will look at your hips and any other part of your body you don't want to draw attention to.


How to Hide a Muffin Top in a Dress

Dresses are our favourite piece that we can just throw on and go, and they look great on every body type. Get ready to find out what the best dresses are for hiding a muffin top.


Try an Empire Waist Silhouette.

Like putting on a pair of high-waisted jeans, a dress with an empire waist that sits just under your bust line keeps your muffin top from being too tight.


Don't be afraid to try a wrap dress.

The wrap dress is a classic for a reason: it makes your waistline stand out and gives you an hourglass shape right away.


Go ahead and put these suggestions to the test. The good news is that making adjustments to your lifestyle that target these problems may assist you in losing that stubborn belly fat. Focus on improving your lifestyle, darling, if a muffin top is preventing you from wearing your favourite tank tops.
