In this video, I walk you through how visceral fat differs from subcutaneous fat, what the dangers of elevated levels are, how you can lose visceral fat fast, and what the main areas are to help you keep visceral fat off your body over the long-term. So, get out your pen and paper and make some notes. (…or just use this description) 😉

*What Is Fat? (0:37)

Fat cells are essentially storage containers that store energy that can be used by the body at a later stage, for activities or natural bodily functions. When you eat, energy is being taken into the body by the food you eat (hence calories are a unit of energy). If you store more calories than you burn each day, you end up with constantly increasing fat stores (a belly)!

*What Is VISCERAL Fat? (1:32)

When your body takes in an excess of fat that is not being burned off through exercise or natural movement, you end up with stored fat. As well as storing under your skin, which is known as subcutaneous fat (the fat you can pinch), fat can go deep and be stored around your organs.

In small amounts, this is protective. In large amounts, this is toxic and dangerous! An increased amount of visceral fat can literally strangle your internal organs, reduce blood supply to your organs, and actually cause issues like fatty liver when the increase in fat cells in your blood goes inside your organs.

*How To Get Rid Of Visceral Fat (2:33)

Getting rid of visceral fat is done in pretty much the same way as losing fat in general, in that you should make sure you sleep enough, get enough water each day, follow a healthy meal plan and do more physical activity or formal exercise. Our guidelines for this, are:

• Sleep at least 7 hours per night
• Drink half your body weight in lbs, in oz’s of water
• Follow a sustainable meal plan → https://www.fitfatherproject.com/youtube-1-dmp-optin
• Follow a structured workout → https://www.fitfatherproject.com/youtube-24-min-optin

*How Does Exercise Help Me Lose Visceral Fat Quickly? (3:40)

Exercise will help you to improve the circulation throughout your entire body, so will help reach the deep fat cells to pull energy from there too. This will help to mobilize the energy contained in that deep visceral fat and pull it to our muscles so we can perform regular movement, physical activity, and formal workouts.

*How Will I Know I’m Losing Visceral Fat? (4:35)

Measuring your belly circumference is a good starting point to seeing if you’re losing visceral fat from your belly. If your belly circumference is shrinking, it’s very likely your visceral fat levels are also decreasing. This is a simple way to measure it, but is an effective way too. You can go further and actually have a DEXA scan on your body, which will identify the levels of visceral fat in your body. This is very expensive, but obviously much more accurate.

I hope this information has been helpful and valuable for you and has taught you the key areas of how to lose visceral belly fat. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and don’t forget we’re here for you all the way!

Lose Belly Fat | How Vitamin D3 Burns Fat | Weight Loss & Your Thyroid-

Hey, bad news for everyone that’s looking for a magic pill for fat loss. It doesn’t really exist. But, what I’m finding through a lot of research recently is that Vitamin D3 might be as close as we can get to something that can reduce belly fat as anything that’s out there. Let me explain how this works because honestly it’s pretty fascinating.

What Vitamin D is, first and foremost is a fat soluble Vitamin. It’s a fat soluble Vitamin that helps regulate mood, it can help regulate metabolism and most importantly it regulates where calcium goes in the body. But, because it’s fat soluble it means that it’s stored in the fat cell. Start thinking about this: if you have an excess amount of fat or if you’re overweight that means that most of the Vitamin D that you consume, even if you’re taking a supplement, is going to get sequestered into those fat cells and it’s going to stay there meaning you have less bio actively available Vitamin D3 to do the cool things that I’m about to explain.

Let’s talk about how Vitamin D3 actually burns fat. The first method is by increasing something called Leptin. Have you ever eaten food before and gotten full? If you haven’t you’re probably not human. Honestly, what happens is leptin signals your brain that you’re full. When you eat a lot of food you have the production of Leptin, signals your brain that you’re full and you stop eating. Problem is that without Vitamin D3, Leptin levels don’t generally increase that much. If you have enough D3 your brain can signal and your brain can be told you need to stop eating. It’s that simple. Low levels of Vitamin D3 those Leptin levels don’t get too high and you can keep eating, making it very easy to overeat.

Remember what I said about the Vitamin D3 getting stored in fat cells? Think about this, if you already are low in D3 and then you eat and you don’t have enough Leptin so you keep eating more then you’re going to develop more fat cells, which means you’re going to hold onto more Vitamin D in the fat cells and more and more to the point where you have this snowball effect where you continue to store fat. Are you one of those people that have just looked in the mirror and say how did this happen to me?

Honestly, I was one of those people seven or eight years ago. The other way that Vitamin D3 is proving to potentially be a good belly fat burner is through the modulation of the parathyroid and calcitriol hormones. The Parathyroid is a small set of glands around the thyroid in our throat and basically when they produce parathyroid or they produce calcitriol, we have a rapid increase in how our body stores fat. It tends to want to store it more. If we have enough Vitamin D3 the parathyroid and calcitriol hormones aren’t quite as crazy. They’re not going quite as haywire, which means your body slowly stores and slowly metabolizes fat versus doing it rapidly, making it where you look in the mirror and feel like it happened overnight.

Those are the two main reasons that Vitamin D3 is starting to play a big role in belly fat. This wouldn’t be a traditional video of mine if I didn’t at least reference one peer reviewed, double blind placebo study. One study took 218 women. These 218 women they gave a strict diet and exercise program to and they asked them to follow it for a year. Then they took half of these women and they gave them Vitamin D. The other half of the women they gave a placebo. After one year of time, it was found that the women that took the Vitamin D had on average seven pounds more weight loss than those that didn’t take the Vitamin D. It doesn’t sound like much but just by adding Vitamin D, it’s pretty dang interesting.

Then, there’s one other study. There is another study that found that those that were taking Vitamin D3 had a better waist to hip ration than those that were not.
