Getting the Gut Fat Out!

VAT: your Deep Gut and ‘around your organs’ fat is the bad gut fat we need to control

VAT Gut Fat is about 10-20% of body fat of men, greater amounts, than this are not healthy!

VAT Gut Fat is about 5-10% of all fat in the woman

Diet, exercise, medication, and surgery can address deep gut fat; and combination therapy is important for many people

Exercise, in absence of weight loss, can decrease the amount of deep gut fat

Exercise, even for deep gut fat resolution, is generally a ‘dose dependent’ treatment: if you exercise more you will get even better results. Right now there is no known specific prescription of amount or type of exercise, that will come with more research

You cannot take your gut fat out of the ‘context’ of the rest of your body your blood sugar control, your blood fats, your blood pressure all are factors in your overall metabolic health and whether your strategies are going to reduce your gut fat.

Exercise may be the best strategy you have in controlling your gut fat, although some trials do show that weight loss drugs could be more powerful in reducing gut fat than even exercise
