Do you have a beer belly? Do you know that the fat in your bloated tummy could be dangerous fat and not as affable as they seem to be? Do want to get rid of your belly fat so that you can look better and be healthier?

You see, most of your tummy fat is made up of visceral fat, sometimes known as organ fat or internal fat. Visceral fat is stored in the peritoneal cavity in between internal body organs, as opposed to subcutaneous fat which is found just beneath your skin and intramuscular fat which is found in skeletal muscles. Visceral fat is the most dangerous fat found in your body and is more difficult to get rid off as compared to other types of body fat.

Many men mistakenly think that their extra belly fat is just ugly and are self conscious about taking off their shirt in public. What most of them don’t know is that their pot belly is not only unsightly aesthetically, but may even kill them. Scientific evidence has undisputedly shown that excess body fat is harmful and this is particularly so with visceral fat.

The two types of fat that you have in your abdominal area are subcutaneous fat which lies just under your skin and visceral fat which gives you the pot belly Santa Claus look. Your visceral fat greatly increases the risk of you developing various heart diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, some types of cancer and several other degenerative diseases such as arthritis and spondylosis.

One of the many reasons why visceral fat is dangerous is that it releases more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis. Therefore if you have a desire to care about the quality of your own life and to save yourself, then reducing your tummy fat should be one of your leading priorities!

Furthermore, in getting rid of excessive ugly abdominal fat, you will get a more aesthetic flat stomach look and even get to see those six pack abs that every man desires to own.

So how can you get rid of your belly fat? Well, there is no quick fix solution at the moment unless you opt for various potentially dangerous and painful invasive medical procedures such as lap-band surgery. There are no weight loss pills or magical supplements that will help you to get rid of your tummy fat faster.

Never believe those late night infomercials about gimmicky gadgets that can trim off inches from your waist either. When anything is too good to be true, they probably are.

The only way to lose your abdominal visceral fat and keep them off forever is to combine a healthy nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods with a professionally designed exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic responses in your body naturally and healthily.

There are some medical studies that divided participants into a diet-only group and an exercise combined with diet group. While both groups in the studies responded well and loss weight, the diet-only group lost significantly less abdominal fat than the diet and exercise combined group.

Therefore if you want to lose your abdominal visceral fat successfully and keep it off forever, then you have to eat and exercise right. The problem is that most people you see in the gym are doing the wrong exercises to lose fat, but that is for another article next time.

Don’t waste another day allowing that nasty tummy fat to deflate your confidence as well as subjecting you to the risk for potentially fatal medical conditions. Get rid of your dangerous visceral belly fat now!
