The #1 fat thatโs silently hurting you
Itโs not the fat you see in the mirrorโitโs the fat you donโt see.
๐ฅ Top 5 Tips, Tricks, and Hacks to Lose Visceral Fat
1. Crush Insulin Spikes (Blood Sugar Control is King)
Visceral fat thrives on insulin mismanagement. Keep your blood sugar stable:
Prioritize protein and fiber at every meal.
Cut back on refined carbs and liquid calories.
Organize your plate and eat proteins before carbs.
2. Lift Heavy + Move Often
Resistance training builds muscle, which is metabolically active and torches fat even at rest. Think compound lifts: squats, deadlifts, presses.
Add zone 2 cardio (brisk walking, cycling at conversational pace) 3โ4x per week. This is the fat-burning sweet spot for visceral fat reduction.
3. Prioritize High-Quality Sleep
You can eat clean and train hard, but if your sleep is trash, visceral fat sticks around.
Aim for 7โ9 hrs nightly.
Keep your room cool and pitch dark.
Cut caffeine 6โ8 hrs before bed.
(Yes, your โI can get by on 5 hoursโ is a lie your tired brain tells you.)
4. Dial in Stress Management
Cortisol = visceral fat fertilizer.
Daily stress dump: breathwork, prayer, journaling, cold plunge, or meditation.
Even 5 minutes of box breathing can bring cortisol down and stop fat storage around the belly.
Supplement magnesium glycinate for better cortisol management, lower stress and better sleep.
5. Protein First, Always
Eating 0.7 - 1.0 g of protein per lb of body weight:
Preserves muscle while cutting fat.
Boosts thermogenesis (calories burned through digestion).
Blunts appetite so you donโt raid the pantry at 9 PM.
๐ Top 4 Supplements for Visceral Fat Support
1. Omega-3 Fish Oil (EPA/DHA)
Anti-inflammatory, improves insulin sensitivity.
Targets visceral fat directly by down-regulating fat-storing pathways.
2. Berberine (or Glucose Disposal Agent)
Often called โnatureโs metformin.โ
Helps regulate blood sugar, lowers insulin, and promotes fat oxidation.
3. High-Quality Whey or Plant Protein
Not magic on its own, but ensures you consistently hit protein targets.
Easy, quick, and reduces the risk of muscle loss during fat reduction phases.
4. Magnesium Glycinate
cortisol management
Sleep improvement
Stress Reduction
โก Bonus (if I could sneak in a 5th): Vitamin D3 + K2 combo. Low vitamin D is strongly linked to higher visceral fat levels and poor metabolic health.
๐ Bottom line: visceral fat doesnโt care about shortcutsโit bows to metabolic control, muscle-building, and lifestyle discipline. Get those in place, and the supplements act as rocket fuel, not crutches.
Hope this helps...
If you haven't scanned yet I would encourage you to get an Evolt360 Body composition scan and see exactly how much visceral fat you have. You want it to read approximately 9 or less on a Evolt360 scan.
