Thread: fat

Well visceral fat doesn´t affect body fat measuraments and that is all I care about.

you sure you dont have it backwards v?

other questions im curious about.....

does cardio burn both types of fat?

how does your body decide which type of fat to store the excess cals under?

to be aesthetic like Serge Nubret or to be a monster like ronn and the big guys?

That's backwards. The subq fat is harder to get rid of, but is less dangerous as far as contributing to heart disease. The body takes the visceral fat first and dumps it into the blood to be either used by the muscles for fuel (fight or flight response and stress) or to settle out onto the blood vessel walls. That's why stress kills.

It sure as hell does. It increases the core girth and body weight. Skin fold measurements are not entirely accurate for that reason.

Yes.

Genetics.

Only if you look at body fat in the medical perspective, not in the bodybuilding perspective, since it is inside and you can´t feel it. Who cares about health anyway? Give me some barbecue and let it fill me in with some sweet and tasty visceral fat.

But you can see it. Internal fat will make your waist bigger and make your gut bulge.
