now i know a lot of people do not like their belly  fat it doesn’t look good it gets in the way but  

you have to realize that this belly fat is the  tip of the iceberg there’s a lot more going on  

behind the scenes okay then that’s what i’m  going to talk about so yes it doesn’t look  

good but let’s talk about what’s really happening  on the inside of your body for you to have a big  

belly you first have to have a fatty liver now the  simple version of this is that your liver becomes  

fatty because you’re eating too many carbs and the  carbs are being converted into fat in the liver in  

other places but the liver is only a certain size  there’s only so much fat that you can cram in the  

liver before it starts to overfill and spill over  into other organs outside the fat cell that’s  

called ectopic fat around the organs that’s called  visceral fat so when you see people with a belly  

you know they have a fatty liver and all this is  coming from a high carb diet as well as a person  

eating many frequent meals you know having three  meals with two snacks that increases the insulin  

and insulin is the storage hormone it will take  those carbohydrates and it turns the carbs into  

fat inside your liver and around the organs now  typically what a person only sees is what’s on  

the outside they see their belly but they don’t  associate any other problems at least initially i  

mean their blood sugars are usually normal why  because the insulin is taking care of it the  

insulin comes in there takes it out of the blood  so then we can maintain normal glucose levels  

so we really don’t see the high blood sugar  situation for at least a couple decades  

and we don’t even see the high insulin that’s  doing all this conversion because the doctor never  

tests your insulin levels if he or she did  they would find it would be very very high  

and by the way there’s a great test called  homa ir to detect your insulin levels and so  

here we have this camouflage situation where the  high sugar is being camouflaged by the insulin  

and the insulin is working really hard in the  background to store all this fat and so unless  

you have an ultrasound in the liver you’re  not going to detect that there is a fatty  

liver all you’re going to see is you have a gut  and then as the years go on as the liver becomes  

fully filled with fat and now you start developing  insulin resistance so it takes more and more  

insulin to lower this blood sugar until the point  where the body finally can no longer compensate  

for all the sugar and then that’s where the blood  sugar starts going up you become a pre-diabetic  

and then an actual diabetic so the deeper  cause of this insulin resistance is really  

a fatty liver because the liver can no  longer function and everything starts backing  

up and you can pretty much summarize the fatty  liver to be aka also known as a high carb diet  

and a lot of people are not connecting the  dots between the other symptoms that this high  

blood glucose and insulin is creating like  fatigue frequent urination especially at night  

like sleep apnea like a weakened immune system  like inflammation in the joints like arthritis  

like cravings to sugar or metabolic syndrome which  is high blood pressure heart disease a fatty liver  

and diabetes type 2. you see all of these things  and a belly fat is coming from the same thing  

high carb diet high blood glucose and high insulin  so in summary i know your belly fat doesn’t look  

good but it’s just the tip of the iceberg there’s  a lot more going on beneath the scene and so if
