Hard Beer Belly Fat

Posted Nov 10 2008 4:43pm

homer.gif My beer belly fat is hard and apparently that's really bad.  This type of fat around your belly is an indication of high visceral fat.  This harder type of fat, the type that doesn't jiggle like Homer Simpson's is considered dangerous because it builds up around internal organs and can cause diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other metabolic problems.  I also read in Men's Health that having this visceral fat is worse than smoking or high cholersterol, and I have high cholersterol already.

The good news is that dropping your body weight by 5% can reduce your visceral fat by up to 40%.  I've got my gym bag with me today and I need to lose some of that visceral fat.
