Cortisol is a stress hormone that turns protein into sugar.
It causes your liver to make new sugar out of non-carbohydrate sources, such as fat, ketones and protein.
If your cortisol is really high, your body will make a lot of sugar.
This increase in sugar will elevate insulin, and insulin makes belly fat.
Consuming a high-carb diet and sugar, or eating too frequently can also cause your insulin to spike, leading to belly fat.
You'll typically notice belly fat after the liver is already fatty because a lot of the visceral fat around the organs comes from a spill-off of fat from the liver.
So, the best foods to help you lose belly fat address lowering insulin, lowering cortisol or supporting the liver.

Ten foods that help you lose belly fat:
Insulin is a hormone that causes you to store fat. In the presence of insulin, it's almost impossible to burn fat and lose weight because insulin prevents fat burning. With insulin, you store sugar as fat, and it prevents the break down of fat. Insulin also stores glucose and turns glucose into glycogen.
Glycogen is a string of glucose molecules held together as stored sugar.
Potassium is also involved. Potassium is necessary in the storage of glycogen.
The main purpose of insulin is to lower your blood sugar.
It does that by taking the sugar and putting it in storage as glycogen or as fat. Insulin also helps put potassium in your cells.
When you consume a high-carb diet, you deplete potassium from the inside of the cell—you lose potassium.
Taking potassium makes insulin less resistive.
Potassium may be very beneficial if you have insulin resistance.
If you're a diabetic, you have insulin resistance. If you're deficient in potassium, that situation will impair glucose and even increase the risk of insulin resistance.
It is very important to get enough potassium—especially if you have a blood sugar issue.
The potassium contained in broccoli makes it one of the more potassium-rich vegetables.
About 230 mg of potassium are found in half a cup of cooked broccoli.
According to NHS, the average adult needs 3,500mg of potassium daily.
The amount of potassium you need daily will vary depending on your sex, age and other factors.
