Hey Doc. Much needed writing which is concerning more than 90 percent of the population. I know you are talking about men here. But women do have belly fat as well. So I have belly fat even though I do yoga and I am physically very much active. That i think is because of my gastric issues and bloating. When I wake up in the morning I don't have any tummy may be very little, especially if I eat early in the previous night. But as I start eating or drinking in the day my belly gets bigger and bigger. End of the day I have a very big tummy. Does this sounds like a belly fat or just bloating due to gastric issues? How do I remediate this?
This deeply resonates with me, I’m going through the exact same pregnancy belly issues, and water has become my safest ‘meal.’ Most foods are starting to feel traumatic, which is especially tough as a foodie. Really hoping Dr. Pal responds to our post
As rightly pointed out refined carbs and sugars are major drivers of visceral fat accumulation. Insulin resistance is also another key factor where cells become less responsive to insulin, leading the body to produce more insulin, which in turn promotes fat storage, particularly visceral fat.
Also an imbalance in gut bacteria (Dysbiosis) contribute to inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, influencing belly fat storage.
For those who are already suffering from belly fat, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training have been shown to be particularly effective in reducing visceral fat
Lack of good Sleep Quality and Chronobiology (consistent sleep schedules) and Chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol, which directly promotes visceral fat storage.
Also certain antidepressants, corticosteroids, beta-blockers) can contribute to weight gain and specifically increase abdominal fat...
Thanks Dr Pal. Could you please post about inflammation in foot. I don’t have diabetes. But vascular issues and venous reflux. Doctors say it as edema. Are edema and inflammation connected? If I cut down on carbs, will I be able to cut down on inflammation
Dr.Pal, lovely article. Remember in one of your YouTube videos you had mentioned "for men, if your waist size is bigger than 90 cms, congrats you are pregnant".
This statement gave me a shock. I decided to start working on this immediately.
Happy to share that I have reduced my waist size from 113 cms to 103 cms. I am determined to reach 90 cms. The day I reach, you will be the first to know. I also reduced my weight from 91 kgs to 80 kgs. All of this in the last 11 months. Thanks so much. You have been a blessing in my life Sir !!
