The body is thin, but the stomach is not. Is it possible to get rid of visceral fat?

 Is it really possible to get rid of the belly forever, or is visceral fat invincible?

I get asked this question quite often, let's figure it out together, suggests nutritionist Svitlana Fus.

Our body should normally have fat, which is located under the skin, around the internal organs. But depending on lifestyle, diet and physical activity, its amount may start to increase. And it always treacherously accumulates on the stomach.

A large belly is not only aesthetically unattractive, but also dangerous for health, as fat, accumulating around the internal organs, compresses and interferes with their normal work.

This can provoke the development of insulin resistance, diabetes, hypertension, oncological pathologies, etc.

What to do to get rid of excess belly fat?

Change the type of food:

– pay attention to what you eat for dinner. It is important not to overeat at night and eat a balanced diet during the day.

Add physical activity:

- without it, it is difficult to reduce the amount of visceral fat. By increasing physical activity, you expend energy, and the body takes it from fat reserves. That is why it is so important to tighten muscles and activate muscle mass. But note that training should not be excessive. Effective, but not tiring.

If you really want to get rid of belly fat and more, forget about "diets" - cutting calories, etc.

The only correct decision is to organize food for yourself, taking into account the characteristics of your body, age and lifestyle.

– Do a body check-up on:

glycated hemoglobin, fractional lipoproteins, TSH, glucose.
