Start a FREE 2-week plan with the BWS app to start burning fat fast: The belly fat you know is visible, and you can literally pinch it. But that’s just one type of belly fat. While everyone focuses on how to lose belly fat, there's a hidden layer of belly fat called visceral belly fat. It can not only make your gut look bloated but it wraps around your organs, pumping out inflammatory molecules linked to heart disease and even early death. You might be like, Well Jeremy, if it’s so bad, I’ll just zap it with liposuction. ’ Nope. Even a surgeon can’t get to it. But, you can! Visceral fat is actually easier to get rid of. With the right plan, you can see and feel visceral fat loss in just 30 days, just like my brother-in-law, Dayton. Here’s how you can get rid of visceral belly fat. Click below to subscribe for more videos: Dayton is not visibly overweight, but his DEXA scan showed 33% body fat with 1, 200 grams of visceral fat hiding in his gut. That’s more than Kevin, who had 38% body fat and 50x more than what I have. But after following the plan I share in this video, his visceral fat dropped by 50% in just 12 weeks. Unlike normal belly fat, visceral fat can be increased by specific foods even if calorie intake stays the same. First food: saturated fat. In a 2014 study, 2 groups were overfed by 750 calories/day from muffins. Group 1: Muffins made with polyunsaturated fat. Group 2: Muffins made with saturated fat. Result: Group 2 gained DOUBLE the visceral belly fat. Not only that, but Group 1 gained less fat and built more lean mass. How much saturated fat is too much Experts recommend keeping saturated fat intake under 2030 grams per day. But Dayton’s favorite ribeye steak dinner 50g of fat, nearly half of it saturated. Add breakfast and lunch, and he sometimes exceeded 50 g of saturated fat per day. You don’t need to cut out fatty foods completely. Just balance them. E. g, Ribeye once or twice a week; swap with fatty fish (rich in unsaturated fats and choose leaner cuts like top sirloin (saves 15g saturated fat. Even grass-fed meats are slightly better, though the difference is small. Some people store more visceral fat due to genetic. But cultural diets packed with added sugar are also to blame. Case in point: bubble tea can have up to 50g of sugar, and the average Taiwanese adult takes 43g/day (vs recommended 25g. The type of sugar also matters. In a 2009 study, researchers gave participants drinks with equal calories, with one sweetened with pure fructose and the other with glucose. After 10 weeks, only the fructose group saw a significant increase in visceral fat. They also had worse insulin sensitivity. Now, don’t worry about fructose in fruit (it has fiber water. The real problem: table sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and foods like cereal, granola, sweetened yogurt, juice, jam, and even condiments like ketchup. Instead of just cutting sugar to get rid of visceral belly fat, replace it with protein. A 2005 study found that simply doubling protein intake led participants to naturally eat fewer calories and lose over 10 pounds in 12 weeks, with most of it coming from fat (ideal for reducing visceral fat. E. g, my mom’s coffee habit: she swapped 2 spoonfuls of sugar cream for scoop French Vanilla Built With Science protein mixed with a splash of milk. Result (per month): -750g sugar, -45g saturated fat, 450g protein. As for Dayton’s Chicago mix popcorn It’s now made with plain popcorn, salted caramel protein, sugar-free syrup, and cheddar seasoning. Result: -100g sugar, 29g protein. This is just the nutrition side of the 30-day plan. For real visceral fat loss, you also need to eat in a calorie deficit. Good news: Visceral fat is the first fat to go when you’re in a deficit. Even 10 lbs lost = up to 30% reduction in visceral fat. My app found my sweet spot is 2, 300 calories/day. Dayton’s is 2, 000. It adjusts as you go. Finally, if you’re wondering how to lose belly fat, the truth is you can’t spot-reduce belly fat. But you CAN target visceral fat with the right kind of cardio. A 2023 study found that all exercise helps, but moderate-to-high intensity cardio and interval training work best. Why These raise catecholamines, a fat-mobilizing hormone that visceral fat responds to directly. While this might make it sound like you need to kill yourself with endless all-out sprints, that’s not the case. The exercise types that torched visceral fat in the study required getting above 75% of your max heart rate: not a walk in the park, but far from an all-out sprint. Here’s how you can do it: Warm-up: 5 minutes Work: 30 seconds high intensity Recover: 90 seconds Repeat: 610 rounds Do this 23 per week. Good options include running, cycling, rowing, and using an elliptical machine. And on your rest days Aim for 8, 000 steps. It’s low-impact and still chips away at visceral fat.

Yikes, a lot of this advice is really really bad especially when important caveats are missing. No, do not put protein powder in everything. Not to mention many have artificial sweeteners which spike blood insulin leading to more snacking throughout the day due to low blood sugar (spiking insulin without sugars available to pull from the blood stream, if you are having more than 20-30g of protein per sitting unless you're an athlete or recovering from a serious injury can increase your risk of uric acid stones, gout, and hormone related cancers not to mention many protein powders were found to contain unsafe levels of heavy metals. Second, it's not hard to do stove top popcorn, never use a microwave popcorn because of the chemicals found in the packaging. Switching fat sources is good advice but. trying to get in healthy oils by drowning salads in olive oil can cause you to go into a caloric surplus as any fats add up calories fast. Not saying don't have olive oil but measure it and include it in your calorie tracking. As for having beef twice a week, once is enough. A note on meats, there are 7g of protein per ounce so a 4oz steak has enough protein for most people and while you may think that's too little steak think about how much is in an 8oz or 12 oz steak (56g and 84g respectively. Your body isn't going to use all that for much of anything. The same is true of other meats as well. It's much easier to put on fat with meats than carbs (in fact it takes 500g of carbs in your body before de novo lipogenesys starts. While it's difficult to cross that line with a whole food diet, even one heavy in fruit, soda, fruit juices, and sugary snacks can get you there without any satiety benefit.

Everything about him is small, except for his belly. Clearly you've never met someone like me. I would disagree that any of him is small (ignoring the obvious joke. Meanwhile, I used to be skeletal, aside from my belly. But I've altered my diet and am now skeletal all over, lol (well, not really skeletal, but certainly much leaner than this guy in the video--I've seen vegans who are actually skeletal, I'm not even close to that bad; I only say skeletal as hyperbole, lol.
Speaking of changing my diet; I'm doing carnivore, which consists of the saturated fats you said not to eat. And most all the carnivore diet people I know are skinny and don't seem to have any visceral fat (and the one's who aren't skinny are MUCH thinner than they were before switching to carnivore. I have to wonder if the study this was based on was done over too short of a time frame; considering that people who eat most of those saturated fats for a more extended period of time all come out much leaner, only putting on extra inches of fat for a short time at the start (if at all. I feel that further (more extended) study is in order.

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a friend about how manifesting never seemed to work for me. I’d tried so many methods but still felt stuck. We heard about a book called Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley on a podcast, and I was hesitant at first. But after reading just a few chapters, I realized how much I was missing. Eva's approach is so different from anything I’ve ever tried. It’s not just about thinking positive, it’s about aligning with real-world actions that bring your desires into reality. Now, I’ve manifested opportunities I never imagined possible, and my mindset has shifted completely. If you’re frustrated like I was, don’t hesitate. Read this book. It will change everything

I think it's too imprecise and skip a lot of details.
If you keep a standard diet, with high carbs and saturated fat, for sure you are going to get visceral fat.
But you can get this too just by having too much carbs and calories.
If you switch to low or zero carbs, there is no limit in the saturated fat you can eat and you won't get visceral fat. With the added benefit of avoiding all inflammatory processes caused by carbs and sugar in particular, not to mention the disaster that represents unsaturated fats when they come from trans fats or seed oils.
The video misses a lot of important stuff.

- The info on saturated vs unsaturated fat is highly appreciated. Many of my gym friends were oblivious to it when we talked about unsaturated fat necessity. They have a focus on saturated fat for muscle and weight gain. The study article referred concluded it's research saying- what is the most important aspect one needs to take care about i. e. what works for your body! And adequate exercise is needed in that respect. One might need strain with slow exercises rather than stress in with HIIT exercises. So alternate days, diverse ways and most importantly managing diet throughout the day is necessary.

7: 47 Visceral belly fat is typically the first fat that your body mobilises for energy.
I'm sorry but it's actually the opposite. It's the LAST fat that our body use. It tries to burn fat EVERYWHERE ELSE but the belly visceral fat.
I'm glad that two types of exercises intervene in the burning of visceral fat, this was very useful information for those of us who struggle with getting rid of the belly visceral fat.
8000 steps on an off day seems too ambitious though, I aim for 6000 and often fail because I run out of time and/or places to walk to.

5: 25 Earlier I was adding a lot of ketchup to anything like Pizza or frankfurters. When I wanted to get rid of the sugar in ketchup I just stopped using it, and after some time I tried adding ketchup to Pizza or Frankfurters and realized that I prefer to feel the taste of them rather than tasting ketchup, so I was enjoying pizza and some other foods without any sauce, it just taste better in my opinion, you just need to get used to it.

I have the fupa belly but the rest of my body is very cut. Going on 56 and female. This makes total sense. I do have a lot of butter and milk and organic brown cane sugar from some of the things I bake. I struggled to gain weight in order to grow more muscle or maintain it. I’m extremely active soo. Still very strong doing pushups, pullups, athletic yoga, and running, on top of constantly keeping up with chores, and working as a trainer.

this is why cardio is important, specifically running. Visceral fat is also the MOST dangerous fat, and generally wont show because its stored directly on your organs, meaning you can look lean but have high levels of visceral fat. Sub Q fat is the visible fat thats stubborn to loose, visceral fat IS EASY to loose, because you don't even need to be in a deficit to loose it, you can loose it with diet and cardio alone.

If you’ve been wondering why you’re not feeling as strong, motivated, or sharp as you used to, Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks might just have the answers. The book focuses on the power of testosterone and how increasing it can seriously transform your health and mindset. If you’re tired of feeling drained or out of balance, this book offers some solid advice on how to get back to your peak

Lyle McDonald set this all out decades ago - down to the letter. He knows more than anyone about this.
Butter is one of the best fat sources around.
Visceral and belly fat requires increased circulation, which naturally brings greeter heat to the area, which then enables exponentially the processing of stored fat. The presence of heat is fundamental to making any of this fat loss possible.

I'm a little confused by the idea that even people with seemingly low fat can have excessive levels of visceral fat, and that you should eat less of certain things to change that - then afterwards we hear that the body uses visceral fat first and that just going in a calorie deficit will get rid of it. I don't think these two things make sense next to eachother
reply

No! not another video misinterpreting saturated fat and sugar! This theory that sf and sugar are what has made us fat doesn’t hold up considering our consumption of these has barely increased in the last 100 years. But our consumption of seed and vegetable oils has increased by 400% in the same time frame that obesity skyrocketed.

if you're scrolling and feel off, read this. i was burnt out, low energy, not myself. found Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks, had zero expectations but man. chapter by chapter it rebuilt me. no hype bs, not fake motivation just stuff that grounds you and resets your system. this book really saved me. wish I found it sooner.
reply

not gonna lie, i felt numb for months. like i was just surviving, not really living. then someone dropped Testosterone Rewired by David Brooks in a yt comment and i gave it a shot. bro this book gave me my edge back. not by yelling at me to hustle, but by showing me how to fix my foundation. life hits different now.
reply

what if I already eat low in sugar and saturated fats, eating protein focused and most of the time on a calorie deficit but can't really see changes in the amount of fat dropping The most unhealthy thing I do on a regular basis is getting 4-5 hours of sleep daily. Would that cancel all of the other things completely
reply

An earlier case study on visceral fat called: Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It- Gary Taubes, is a great book.
It covers the historical aspects of fat, especially those in poor areas where food is scarce, yet obesity exists.
Good Calories, Bad Calories’ is a more comprehensive view of it too.

Hey Jeremy. I love your content and I find them very helpful for planning my workouts. Just a little constructive criticism though.
Asian, Indian or Hispanic descent
Indians are Asians too. I don't think it's right to strip them off their Asian identity. You could say East Asian and South Asian

I have lost 6 kilos in the last 2 months. My target is 57kg. But seems I hit a plateau at 65 kg where I am now. How can I overcome this Should I join the gym to build and keep muscle I’m following a meal plan of 1400, 1200 calories cycling carbs a bit (female) my BMR is only 1364 calories

3 months ago I was broke, anxious, and completely lost. My friend sent me Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley and I read it in one sitting. Not even kidding, my whole energy shifted. I stopped chasing and started receiving. New clients, better sleep, confidence back. people don’t sleep on this.
