Not overweight, but with a big belly, it turns out that the culprit is it

Many friends have this situation, even though they are not overweight, they still have a big belly, which is commonly known as "apple shaped obesity". There are several commonalities in this type of obesity: the waist is significantly obese relative to the limbs, and various methods of slimming the waist have been tried, but the waist circumference still cannot be reduced. In addition, constipation is often accompanied. Clinical experience shows that over 90% of "big bellies" are visceral obese individuals. Generally speaking, men with a waist circumference greater than 90CM and women with a waist circumference greater than 80CM should be careful about excessive visceral fat. So, why is this happening? ——Because the visceral fat exceeds the standard.

Reasons for visceral obesity

1. When losing weight, only focus on reducing "subcutaneous fat" and ignore "visceral fat". The reason is that subcutaneous fat is clearly visible, while visceral fat is hidden deep, and some people with lean body types may also have a lot of visceral fat.

2. Breakfast is often eaten very little or not, but lunch and dinner are very rich, and late night snacks are often eaten. I have a preference for greasy or sweet foods, with more meat and fewer dishes. People nowadays, especially white-collar workers, spend much more time sitting than standing or walking. I don't like walking when going out, I either drive or take the bus. In the company, it's like sticking to a chair, sitting for a whole day, with very little exercise. To improve the situation of excessive visceral fat, exercise is essential. In daily life, it is necessary to engage in more aerobic exercise and persist for at least 30 minutes a day. In addition, it is necessary to supplement with dietary fiber, which can have a water absorbing effect. After absorbing water, the volume increases, resulting in a sense of fullness and reducing energy intake. The intake of calories decreases, and the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestines also decrease, ultimately leading to the consumption of body fat and achieving weight loss effects. At the same time, it is best to reduce carbohydrate intake, quit smoking, and limit alcohol consumption.
