[@smithlo4092]

Key summaries are: - Visceral fat elevation can lead to elevated insulin levels, impeding the body's ability to burn fat effectively and promoting fat storage. - Identifying and reducing visceral fat can help prevent metabolic decline. - Metabolically healthy obesity is a rare exception where individuals can be obese but still metabolically healthy. - Limiting sugar intake, especially high fructose corn syrup, is important as it can lead to insulin resistance and increased visceral fat. - Increasing soluble fiber intake, such as flax seeds and chia seeds, can reduce visceral fat. - Cardiovascular exercise, particularly higher intensity aerobic exercise, is more effective at reducing visceral fat compared to resistance training. - Getting sufficient sleep is crucial for managing visceral fat. Strategies include consuming tart cherry juice, taking tryptophan supplements, avoiding carbohydrates before bed, scheduling exercise appropriately, and exposing oneself to red or low light in the morning. - Consider getting a DEXA scan to assess visceral fat levels and track progress.

Tips to tackle visceral fat: - Eat fruits instead of refined starch - Cardio: Aerobic exercise - Reduce stress - Monounsaturated fats ( macadamia nut and olive oil ) - Reduce sugar ( desensitised insulin receptors ) - Soluble fiber intake 10g increased in a diet daily ( can be in the form of flaxseed and chia seed ). - Sleep 😴 : no carbs 3 hrs before bed. High intensity morning and low intensity around bedtime. Also you could have red tart cherry juice

I was losing weight and the fat was coming off for the next 3 weeks. The next 2-3 weeks nothing was happening again. Then I was maintaining the same weight for a cple weeks but losing size.

Sorry Thomas, but if I'm not mistaken, you're rather off in terms of your calculations on what makes up 10g of increased daily intake of soluble fiber. My daily dose of supr colnon clsne (misspelling intentional) provides only 2g. Then, my twice daily bowl of old fashioned oats (2 x 1/2 cup) provides only another 2g. As much as I love it, having (10) 1/2C servings per day isn't something I want as there are too many carbs.

More than sufficient!!..you burn around 400 calories doing so..and add in a daily deficit of 300 calories in your diet and you'll lose a pound of fat every 5 days !! Sustainable and easy to stick to..avoid binging at night or eating out of boredom..when you're bored drink so much water that your stomach feels heavy and you'll lose the cravings..may give you a temporary bloating issue but in 4-5 weeks you'll look very lean and in shape

Not for me. I have to that plus cardio, plus weight train and have no more than 1400 cal per day. Otherwise I gain. Plus I do low carb.
