If your waistline has been expanding despite dieting or workouts, visceral fat<\/a> might be the real culprit. Unlike regular belly fat, it hides deep within your abdomen and has a silent impact on your heart health. Dr Pradip Jamnadas, Interventional Cardiologist based in Orlando with over 31 years of experience, shares in a podcast with Steven Bartlett the quickest and most sustainable way to burn visceral belly fat.

\"Fasting, Fasting, according to Dr. Jamnadas, aids in healing and fat reduction. What kind of fast should you be doing<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a patient is just simply looking to reduce visceral fat, then I start with a 12-12 fast,\u201d says Dr Jamnadas. \u201cThat means 12 hours you don\u2019t eat anything, you just drink liquids with no calories<\/a> in them, and then the next 12 hours are your feeding period.\u201d He recommends following this schedule for two to three weeks, allowing your body to adapt. After that, he suggests gradually shifting to an 18-6 fasting plan.<\/p>\n

\u201c18-6 means six hours you get to eat, and for 18 hours it\u2019s only water, black tea, black coffee, or green tea, no calories,\u201d he adds. \u201cThat\u2019s one type of fasting that works well for most people trying to lose fat and improve insulin sensitivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fasting for diabetes and severe obesity<\/p>\n

However, Dr Jamnadas emphasises that those with more severe metabolic conditions may need a more structured plan. \u201cIf a patient is very overweight, or has diabetes<\/a>, and the goal is to reverse diabetes or lose around 60 pounds, then those patients have special needs,\u201d he explains. \u201cFor them, I will take them to a 48-hour fast once a week.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cSometimes I\u2019ll go to a three-day water fast every nine days. Every nine days, you will do OMAD, one meal a day, and then give me a three-day water fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Jamnadas believes fasting isn\u2019t about starvation<\/a> but about giving the body time to heal, reset, and use stored fat for energy. The key, he says, is to ease into it gradually and always stay hydrated during fasting windows.<\/p>\n

His approach highlights how intermittent and extended fasting, when done correctly, can be a powerful tool for reducing visceral fat, balancing blood sugar, and improving long-term heart health.<\/p>\n
