Sometimes it's genetic, unfortunately.  Also, sometimes it is due to improper breathing during ab exercises.  For situps and crunches, make sure you breath out when you go up, and back in when you go down.  This will prevent the muscles from sticking out.\n\nAlso, they have proven that drinking too much soda can have the same effect that "beer belly" has, due to the amount of carbonation and sugars.

This all depends on the person. Bigger people can consume larger volumes of alcohol. Metabolism also plays a major role.

It makes blood rush to your face, which may expand it temporarily.  This makes the illusion that your face gets fatter, but it's not permanent.  However, if you continue to drink chronically, your face may get fatter, because beer has a lot of calories.  Drink in moderation.

Start taking a vitamin.  Men, just like women, can be deficit in folic acid, which will really put a damper on your ability to exercise and your energy level.  It sounds like you want to gain weight?  Perhaps you just naturally adjust your eating habits to your activity level to keep your weight the same no matter how much you work out.  Try drinking a high calorie energy drink, or meal replacers like nutri cal or ensure.

It sounds like you are going through a growth spurt and your hormones are changing. When you are hungry, reach for a glass or bottle of water. This will help fill you up. Also, watch what you are putting in your mouth. Healthy snack are best. Of course you probably already know that. Don't think of excercise as "exercise"\nTry to take a 15 minute walk a day, or do a few sit ups at night while watching TV. It helps me and keeps the buldge away!\nGood Luck sweetie

Drinking lots of water takes up space in your stomach, hence less food can fit..

you can stop your body from making belly fat by cutting out sugar, alcohol, white bread, white potatoes, and anything with a glycemic index above 55.\n\n try never to eat a meal over 400 calories\nThat means eating smaller meals. 4 meals at 400 calories each \nAnd a few 100 calorie snacks-that works for me.\n\nThe whole idea is not to spike your blood sugar. Overeating with big meals, eating sugar, or high fat foods, or drinking alcohol spikes your blood sugar. That makes your body produce insulin.\nInsulin’s big job is “TURN THAT EXTRA SUGAR INTO FAT”\n\nErgo: no sugar spike, no insulin, no insulin, no fat production\n\nThats why they say people with belly fat or pear shapes are prone to diabetes\n\nI hope this helps

Nicotine reduces cravings for food through centrally acting receptors (the duration of action is not that long so you've got to have a 20 a day habit) and increases gastric motility. It is however not medically recommended and trying to give up means you get a lot hungrier and put it all if not more back on. Your husband is bigger than you I assume so needs more food. Also women tend to snack outside meals more often and exercise less. There is monthly variation in women's weight mainly due to fluid retention and the fat distribution is different and overall greater as a percentage for women.\n\nIt does not increase metabolism as another poster has claimed

It's messing up your metabolism.  Your body needs its nutrients at specific times because it's still growing.  If you eat at odd times that are spaced out your body won't know how to adjust its metabolism to what's appropriate for you.

I have the same problem, when i gain weight, it easily goes to my face.  I read that for men, they first start gaining weight in their stomachs and then their faces and so on.  I learned that cardio exercises can help,such as running, or hitting the punching bag.  Martial arts types of exercises help a lot.  Do situps too, eventually your face will look thinner.

Sounds like you already no the solution.  Diet and exercise.  The hardest part is having the will to do it.  Too bad all of the eye catching magazine articles promising to hold the secret to a better stomach don't mention that will power is what the 90% of the population that won't have a six pack is missing.

The reason you should drink more water is to help your body filter more effectively. It should not cause you to bloat unless you are eating things that cause you to retain water. An excessive salt intake will cause you to retain water. Consider this. \n\nSometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don't remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit. \n\nIf snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don't drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two "healthy meals" a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried. \n\nAlso, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. and wed. and aerobics or Tues. and Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!\n\nI hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

Cut your carbs, my man.  A small potbelly is indicative of a carb belly.  Lay off the beer, and switch to a no-calorie, no sugar vodka or alcoholic beverage.\n\nAs far as a diet change goes, drink lots of water, and be sure to eat breakfast.  You know that saying that it's the most important meal of the day?  Well, it's true.  Breakfast should be your largest meal, and dinner should be your smallest, as your food will not metabolize as quick at night.  Avoid eating after 7pm, too.\n\nAb crunches could help tone your stomach muscles as well, but first you need to lose the gut.\n\nEat sensiblely, and remember to drink a lot of water.  Water is going to help curb your appetite and flush your system.\n\nBest of luck!

As for now, I don't think that you will have to worry about dieting, as you already said, you are still growing and your body needs time for adjustments, growth wise and hormonal as well. That stuff takes some time.\n\nIn the meantime, just make sure that you get plenty of daily exercise, and that you don't take too many of these empty calories in, like chips, milk shakes, soda, fries, chocolate and that kinda stuff...\n\nAnd...it also depends on your genetics...if you are broad build and have 'heavy' relatives.\n\nOh, and one more thing, in case nobody has told you yet...the week before you menstruate you can even get bloating, which will increase your stomach circumference. So don't worry about that, ok?

Booze has a lot of carbohydrates in it.  That is the reason you see a lot of people who drink with BEER BELLIES. Especially beer it has barley which is in the bread group and when you are on a diet that is one of the areas to avoid.
