Visceral Fat | What Is It & How to Get Rid of It

[@Still-Sitting]

Dropping the 100 lbs of misery weight I put on after a spinal cord injury with these exact methods. Doing it from a wheelchair with zero movement below my chest. Calorie restriction and the typical 3 meal diet would have never had these results. I’m 70lbs down in less than a year 💪♿️

[@muskegontribune]

Awesome

[@aidanpoulter9514]

Well done. So happy for you.

I retired in April 2020 at age 62 and weight 205 at 5'8". I've lost 47 pounds and now weigh 158 on May 31, 2021 (BMI Normal). I initially lost 25 in 4 months, then plateaued for about 6 months. Learned more tactics, then lost the next 22 in just over 3 months.

[@johnepperson8867]

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think working has a lot to do with how much comfort food & drink we consume. Not only that but the time and motivation we have for exercise. Keep up the GREAT work.

[@EEEBA1]

That's great. Congrats! What are you eating? I have done Keto in the past and I lost 4lbs in 14 months of doing strict Keto resistance training and cardio. Also I have done OMAD eating carbs and working out over the last few years with zero success in fact I think I have gained some weight and inches, definitely not muscle. I even added walking five miles a day for 90 days straight and still nothing. Since nothing has worked for me starting December 31st I switched to low carbs (only carbs I eat are from berries) and still I can't lose an ounce of weight... My hunger just almost never goes away. Thank you.

Dr. Becky, two years ago I followed you faithfully on KZbin. I lost weight and gained muscle. I stopped watching you and slowly returned to my bad habits. I gained some of the weight back and now am back to watching you in order to lose the weight I gained back and to get healthier. I thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessings.

[@pole_barn_builder]

How did you do?

[@gordyn5292]

Even when I was thinner, I didn’t realise just how much visceral fat I had. It took low-carb and IF/OMAD to finally burn it off. Eat fat to burn fat, who knew? Love as always Becky, you’re a lifesaver! ♥️

[@Scottlp2]

Re: OMAD-a. what period of time did you eat all your calories in 1 hour? 4 hours? b. Did you find it difficult to eat that much calories/nutrition in that short period of time? Thanks.

[@gordyn5292]

@@Scottlp2 Hi, Depending on the meal, an hour to hour and a half. A big salad can take a some time to eat but I have no trouble getting the calories especially when fat comes in so many firms and is so delicious. Getting enough nutrients isn’t an issue either as I eat a whole-food diet, so nothing processed, or with a label. I find too that I can eat more in a single meal than I ever cooks before, even when I was 20/4 IF. My body adapted very well to the single meal which is why I stepped up from IF. I regularly do 48 hour fasts about once every two weeks, and I’m maintaining my weight and health excellently.

BECKY - At 4 minutes 31seconds you've said that '4 weeks of fasting' has shown to reduce weight, should that say 'intermittent fasting on and off for 4 weeks'. Is it just me, or is there a risk someone might try to actually fast for 4 weeks continuous, clearly deleterious. Excellent, accurate, up to date, highly relevant presentation, perfectly explained, please keep them coming.

I lost 100 pounds in about 4 or 5 months on keto and omad , but I've hit a wall. No matter what I do I can't seem to lose the last 25 pounds. It's still a blessing to be 100 pounds lighter and not worry about diabetes. Giving up carbs is hard, but after awhile you don't miss them too much. I still eat my favorite foods on my birthday and Christmas. YOLO

You can lose weight on any diet that you don’t eat for three days. But you will get it all back and your body will think it’s starving so your metabolism will slow down.

[@carolbarnes7520]

Thank you so much for your helpful advice delivered in such a calm way. I am 6 weeks into a 16:8 low carb diet and have lost 10lb so far. It has also gradually lowered my fasting blood glucose levels. This morning I calculated my BMI and it was 24.9 so I am at the upper end of the normal weight range for the first time in 46 years! This gives me the incentive to keep going so that I can face the rest of my old age feeling so much healthier. Carol UK

Dropping weight since Sept, I've had a flat stomach (ok, with some loose skin) first time since my mid fifties (62) I thought things just "shifted" in menopause but changing diet did help not counting calories.Exercise didn't help but good for you in other ways. Low carbs from 50-80 most days not Keto, worked for me.

You Tube has many self-appointed diet and health gurus with a Dr prefix, often in an unrelated specialist field - so it is reassuring and a delight to listen to Dr Becky who is well-qualified, cogent, and rational about what works and what does not re eating well and losing weight.

I've been losing a lot of weight over a long period of time. So far my total loss is about 200 pounds. I have a ways to go but I have very little "Pinchable" fat compared to what I had. What I know about weight loss is terribly outdated but I've been doing a lot of study by way talking to physicians. Sadly there seems to be as many ideas about handling this problem as there are doctors. I have about 60 or 70 pounds to go and a couple bad habits left to break. Watching this video has reminding me of things that I already knew and taught me a few new things. Thank you.

[@GoCanucks2011]

Visceral fat is caused by eating more calories than you burn and not moving enough. A waist circumference of 80cm or more for females and 94 cm or more for males could mean that you have too much visceral fat. Fortunately, there are proven strategies you can follow to help reduce visceral fat. Some of these include eating fewer carbs and less added sugar, doing more aerobic exercise and increasing your protein intake. By trying a few of these strategies, you can lose visceral fat and improve your health. To prevent visceral fat, focus on maintaining a healthy balanced diet and keeping physically active.

[@GoCanucks2011]

Do eggs reduce visceral fat --------- Doctor Deborah Lee, from the Dr Fox Online Pharmacy, recommended adding eggs to your diet to do so. She explained: “Many studies have shown that increasing your protein intake helps with weight loss - and this includes the loss of visceral (belly) fat. “One very high-protein food option is eggs. Eggs contain a nutrient called choline. Researchers believe it turns off the genes for visceral fat gain. Athletes often use it for bodybuilding and delaying fatigue in endurance sports.

[@GoCanucks2011]

Does walking burn visceral fat ------- Increased exercise energy expenditure at either walking speed produces equivalent declines in visceral fat in postmenopausal women, and with sufficiently long impulses, should reduce disabilities associated with central obesity.

[@GoCanucks2011]

Five foods that may help burn belly fat include: - foods with soluble fiber like fruits, vegetables, and legumes. - foods with protein like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. - fatty fish like tuna and salmon. - foods with probiotics like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi. - green tea.

great stuff and anecdotally my life experience says you are 100% correct... I am able to reduce my waistline by reducing carbohydrates and/or intermittent fasting. Otherwise weight and waist loss is nearly impossible, even with consistent high intensity exercise

[@assileyacoub4829]

I've been on a keto diet, and cardio based program for 4 months now. Lost 23kg in 1 month, but for the past 3 months I've been stuck to the same weight. Can't seem to get rid of that stubborn fat. The only explanation I have is I went too extreme and my body adapted, so I strongly advise to take it step by step. If you don't, your body will adapt too quickly. Also, make sure to eat lots of fibre, or you might get constipated. Constipation stops fat loss.

I've learn't alot about insulin resistance through your channel and the importance of low carb and low sugar diet.

[@empressah888]

Can you buy sugar replacement, such as stevia, erthryritol or monkfruit. And then keep decreasing the amounts of sweetener you’re having gradually. Back and green tea have caffeine, and that’s what can feel like an energy increase. Green tea has other nutrients, and I believe white tea too. Redbush/rooibos tea is caffeine free and will help you move away from caffeine. Do this gradually too. Learn about keto and using fats for energy. Good luck:)

I'm a 58 year old male, relatively sedentary as I work as a self employed digital artist. Two years ago, my Wife and I decided to change to a completely Vegan diet in an attempt to improve our overall health and reduce inflammation. This change has definitely provided benefits, but - I've gained weight. Although we have eliminated the use of oils and fats, I believe the whole grains we are ingesting is contributing to the gain. I have friends who have been on a Keto diet at the same time, and they have lost significant weight. My concern is that the Keto diet with it's animal proteins is contributing to coronary plaques and possible heart disease. Your thoughts? Is there a proper diet?
