Hey, ok I hope I am right on this. Visceral fat is the fat that develops around the organs correct? Alright I doubt this is a possibility but is there any way to target Visceral fat over subcutaneous fat. Any help would be great.


Thanks!

As far as I recall, CLA has an effect on it.

Whoa never new that. I have a friend who takes that, but I never realized it helped with vicseral fat. Do you know of any other drugs or supplements which also can help target it?

Why would anybody want to get rid of visceral fat? I thought it was not only important but imperative to health. Besides nobody sees it so who cares if your fat around your organs?

Well, I went to a doc to get some info. (Lipo doctor) I'm little embarrassed even to say. I'm not that fat but my stomach is bulgy, I see some abs but my stomach still sticks out. From what he told me my body didnt have that much subcutaneous fat, but more visceral fat which was pushing my stomach out. He told me the only real way to get at it was to diet. I was just wondering what could aid me at targeting it. I think it might be some genetic trait or somthing. Everyone on my dads side of the family has a beer belly but hardly any of them drink beer at all.

I wouldnt be getting rid of the fat just lowering the amount that the fat cells contain. I understand it is needed.

Just listen to the doctor. That means DIET.

If you don't have that much Sub-Q fat, then it stands to reason that you'll lose Visceral fat when you cut.
