so recently I was talking to a lady who

told me she went to her doctor and the

doctor said you have visceral fat and

it’s dangerous and you need to go on a

diet but he didn’t really tell her

exactly what diet to go on so let’s just

talk about the dangerous fat okay

it’s called visceral fat but let me just

show you the mechanism of how you get

there in the first place so you have

this high insulin okay insulin is a fat

making hormone it’s a fat storing

hormone in the presence of just a little

bit of insulin you will not burn fat

because it prevents the burning in the

utilization of fat and what triggers

this is dietary sugars and carbs

frequent eating omega-6 fatty acids like

corn oil sorrel GMO stress and there’s a

whole list of other things as well but

these are really important things to

know about 65% of the population is

pre-diabetic so they may not have high

sugars yet like excessively high but

they’re their sugars are starting going

higher but I think even a greater

percentage of people have a higher

amounts of insulin because this is what

comes right before the pre-diabetes okay

so you have high insulin and you can

have a whole chain of effects from belly

fat to high cholesterol to high blood

pressure to inflammation to brain fog so

your body then has to protect itself

from the damaging effects of high

insulin and high sugar so it starts to

develop a condition called insulin

resistance this is basically a

protective mechanism to block the

absorption of insulin okay to kind of

limit the amount of sugar and insulin

going in the cells because it’s harmful

so if a person continues to consume too

many carbs too frequently you’re going

to overload the blood and it has to go

somewhere so that sugar is then

converted to visceral fat so this is fat

around the organs inside the abdomen

because it has no place to go so it’s

kind of a spillover fat the liver is

already you know fatty so it has to

spill off into the

domina cavity so you have all this

visceral fat so this is really a storage

facility of the excess energy that’s

coming in the body right here that your

body can’t do anything with so it dumps

it into some storage you know around the

organs so it’s again it’s trying to

protect you and it is true that visceral

fat then gives off certain things and

that create more inflammation that’s

true this is why they tell you obesity

the risk factor for diabetes heart

disease high blood pressure metabolic

syndrome cancer because visceral fat

gives off inflammatory compounds which

then worsen insulin resistance which

then causes more visceral fat so it’s a

vicious cycle so this whole emphasis is

on obesity and the dangerous fat getting

rid of it but what about this thing

right here very little attention on this

it’s all about go on a diet do more

exercise eat less calories etc etc so I

just wanted to show you

very simply what’s really happening what

the body is trying to do so the question

is is fat really dangerous well not

nearly as dangerous is this right here
