I will tell you 5 ways to lose visceral fat. People with visceral fat are said to be at risk of chronic inflammation and metabolic diseases, and even cancer. Let's find out about the causes of visceral fat and the 5 surprising and easy ways to lose it right now.

How to lose visceral fat effectively

Visceral fat is characterized by its rapid storage in the abdomen, but it is also highly influenced by hormones, so it is also quickly used as an energy source. Especially, people with a bulging belly but thin limbs, or so-called "tadpole belly," can reduce belly fat faster than other types of obesity. Let me tell you about the secret to losing visceral fat.

1. Eat slowly

The first is to eat slowly. The biggest cause of visceral fat is eating a lot, fast, and all at once. When we binge eat, our bodies are overwhelmed with the calories they need to process, so our bodies convert the broken-down energy into fat quickly and store it.
 
Because they are in a hurry to store fat, they don't have time to distribute fat cells evenly throughout the body, so they have no choice but to send them to the first place they can be stored quickly. That place is the abdomen.
 
Men are more likely to absorb fatty acids from visceral fat due to hormonal effects, so their belly fat grows faster than women's. Tadpole belly is not a weight loss that is achieved by starving. You need to eat well to lose weight. Even if you eat the same amount, it is better to eat in moderation rather than all at once.

2. Abstinence

The second is abstinence. Please keep in mind that this alcohol, which goes down like water, is a calorie bomb. Not many people know this. It is not only high in calories, but also has a reason for causing our "tadpole belly." It's because it's a major contributor to visceral fat.
 
Alcohol is considered a toxic substance in our bodies, so when it enters our bodies, our bodies stop metabolizing fat in order to focus on breaking down alcohol. When fat breakdown is interrupted, the undigested fatty acids are resynthesized into triglycerides and continue to accumulate in the abdomen. This is what is called a "beer belly" even if you don't eat much food. Remember that just reducing alcohol consumption can definitely eliminate a "tadpole belly."

3. Weight training

The third is weight training. Thin obesity is medically defined as a condition in which the amount of muscle mass is too low, making the body appear to have relatively more body fat. These people may find that building up their muscle mass to normal levels is a better way to lose weight.
 
Once muscle mass is within the normal range, the body naturally starts to lower the proportion of body fat. Therefore, it is wiser to focus on weight training that increases muscle mass and strength rather than cardio exercises that burn calories.

4. Protein and potassium intake

The fourth is protein and potassium intake. Protein is a nutrient that builds muscle, and potassium helps synthesize protein and participate in muscle exercise, so we need to eat enough of these two nutrients to build muscle.
 
You can create an effective diet by combining foods that are rich in protein. In addition, if you eat potassium-rich foods such as spinach, green vegetables, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, bananas, and so on, you'll be getting the best of both worlds.

5. Posture

The last one, fifth, is posture. Posture is important. There are many people who develop a "tadpole belly" due to poor posture. Especially those who have a forward head. If you keep your head tilted down, the weight your body feels from your head becomes 4 to 6 times stronger. This makes it difficult for the head to support the weight, causing the thoracic spine to bend severely and the shoulders to roll forward. Rounded shoulders can also be a cause of chronic inflammation.
 
It is important to manage your waistline and belly fat together. Remember that maintaining good posture, sitting with your back straight and your waist straight, and always keeping it in mind will help prevent a "tadpole belly."

In conclusion

I have told you about 5 ways to eliminate the "tadpole belly" caused by visceral fat. Even if you practice these 5 things slowly, you can lose your "tadpole belly" effectively and quickly. Eat slowly, cut back on alcohol, do strength training, eat protein and potassium well, and maintain good posture.
