The fat stored in our body can be broadly divided into subcutaneous and visceral fat<\/a>. The first kind is layered below the skin, while the second is around the organs and considered more harmful to health.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram on February 9, Dan Go, a fitness coach with over 20 years of experience, described visceral fat as \u201cthe fat wrapped around your liver, pancreas, and intestines\u201d that \u201cpumps inflammatory compounds into your bloodstream\u201d all day, every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo much visceral fat silently destroys your body and brain<\/a>,\u201d he shared. According to the coach, people in the top quartile of visceral fat percentage have 10 times higher odds of hypertension and six times higher odds of diabetes.<\/p>\n

\u201cCardiovascular disease risk jumps 55%,\u201d he added. \u201cMidlife belly fat predicts Alzheimer’s markers 20 years before symptoms appear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diet to lose visceral fat<\/p>\n

In his post, Dan shared what he claimed was the \u201cworld’s easiest diet\u201d that is known to cut visceral fat by 14% even when an individual has not lost any weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not keto. It’s not carnivore. And it’s definitely not about counting calories,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The diet that Dan recommends is the Optimised Mediterranean Diet. The coach claimed that when compared with a standard healthy diet and a traditional Mediterranean diet, an optimised Mediterranean diet loaded with polyphenol-rich foods \u201cdropped the most visceral fat, by 14%.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the diet includes the following steps:<\/p>\n

Zero alcohol.Eliminating processed foods.Prioritising protein at 0.7 to one gram per pound of body weight.Focusing on fish and chicken.Eating two cups of dark berries daily.Replacing the second coffee with green teaAdding polyphenol-rich greens like spinach, kale, and arugula at every mealAdding fermented foods and bone broth for gut healthTime-restricted eating<\/p>\n

One of the most important parts of the attempt to cut visceral fat is time-restricted eating. This includes having the final meal of the day three to five hours before sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not what you eat. It\u2019s when you stop eating,\u201d noted Dan. \u201cTime-restricted eating works because your body finally gets a break from constant digestion. Insulin drops. Fat burning starts.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is simple, sustainable, and effective, he claimed. In addition to following the right diet, one also needs to focus on weight training, daily walking, and occasional HIIT (high-intensity interval training) sessions to protect the muscles while cutting weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes around 90 days of concentrated effort to see significant reductions,\u201d stated Dan. \u201cNot 90 days of \u2018pretty good.\u2019 Ninety days of solid execution.\u201d<\/p>\n
