When cortisol is elevated (ie in times of stress) fat is moved from other parts of the body to the abdominal area. This is because fat here is more easily mobilized than at other parts of the body.
Several of these points relate to lowering cortisol...
Generally,people have multiple times of the day where they are either burning fat or storing fat, whether dieting or not. If cortisol levels are too high, the fat will be stored in the tummy when fat is being stored. This can result in your tummy being slightly fatter even when in a calorie deficit; that is, until you lose enough fat everywhere so you tummy starts to shrink.
They idea that people store fat and lose fat evenly over there body is false... the truth us more complicated than that.
The idea that one can spot reduce using exercise is also false. However, there are certain things you can do to influence hormones in your favor to have fat storage patterns be more complimentary to your figure....
but if your dieting this last point is moot anyways
