so recently I was talking to a lady who told me she went to her doctor and the doctor said you have visceral fat and it’s dangerous and you need to go on a diet but he didn’t really tell her exactly what diet to go on so let’s just talk about the dangerous fat okay it’s called visceral fat but let me just show you the mechanism of how you get there in the first place so you have this high insulin okay insulin is a fat making hormone it’s a fat storing hormone in the presence of just a little bit of insulin you will not burn fat because it prevents the burning in the utilization of fat and what triggers this is dietary sugars and carbs frequent eating omega-6 fatty acids like corn oil sorrel GMO stress and there’s a whole list of other things as well but these are really important things to know about 65% of the population is pre-diabetic so they may not have high sugars yet like excessively high but they’re their sugars are starting going higher but I think even a greater percentage of people have a higher amounts of insulin because this is what comes right before the pre-diabetes okay so you have high insulin and you can have a whole chain of effects from belly fat to high cholesterol to high blood pressure to inflammation to brain fog so your body then has to protect itself from the damaging effects of high insulin and high sugar so it starts to develop a condition called insulin resistance this is basically a protective mechanism to block the absorption of insulin okay to kind of limit the amount of sugar and insulin going in the cells because it’s harmful so if a person continues to consume too many carbs too frequently you’re going to overload the blood and it has to go somewhere so that sugar is then converted to visceral fat so this is fat around the organs inside the abdomen because it has no place to go so it’s kind of a spillover fat the liver is already you know fatty so it has to spill off into the domina cavity so you have all this visceral fat so this is really a storage facility of the excess energy that’s coming in the body right here that your body can’t do anything with so it dumps it into some storage you know around the organs so it’s again it’s trying to protect you and it is true that visceral fat then gives off certain things and that create more inflammation that’s true this is why they tell you obesity the risk factor for diabetes heart disease high blood pressure metabolic syndrome cancer because visceral fat gives off inflammatory compounds which then worsen insulin resistance which then causes more visceral fat so it’s a vicious cycle so this whole emphasis is on obesity and the dangerous fat getting rid of it but what about this thing right here very little attention on this it’s all about go on a diet do more exercise eat less calories etc etc so I just wanted to show you very simply what’s really happening what the body is trying to do so the question is is fat really dangerous well not nearly as dangerous is this right here thanks for watching if you’re liking this content please subscribe now and I will actually keep you updated on future videos
