High stress hormones: Having more stress hormones like cortisol can prevent people from losing fat around belly button. In this case reducing stress and practicing relaxation breathing or guided imagery for 5-10 minutes twice a day can change fat loss pattern. One set of symptoms characteristic of too much stress is having trouble going to sleep at night and trouble waking up in the morning.
