There are two types of fat: subcutaneous and visceral (abdominal) fat. Subcutaneous fat is stored under the skin at the surface level. Visceral fat is far more dangerous because it wraps around organs, releases inflammatory markers, and produces toxic chemicals and hormones.

2) Eat a high protein diet -Slows down digestion limiting spikes and crashes in blood sugar that lead to insulin resistance and visceral fat storage. -Increases satiation (fullness) cutting down on the need for snacking. -Burns 80-100 calories/day extra through digestion.

3) Don't drink your calories Alcohol, soda, and juices create massive sugar spikes. They act like an IV of sugar into the bloodstream because there is nothing to slow down digestion. Over time this leads to insulin resistance and fat storage around the liver and abdominal area.

5) Prioritize sleep Poor sleep decreases your fullness hormone (leptin) and increases your hunger hormone (ghrelin) causing you to snack. Bad sleep reduces insulin sensitivity keeping blood sugar levels elevated. Your body will then want to store energy instead of burn it.
