#1 Absolute Best Way To Lose Belly Fat in 2024

If belly fat has become your nemesis, especially as you age, this episode is your guide to fighting back. We're diving deep into the science of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), that sneaky belly fat hidden deep within your abdominal cavity surrounding vital organs. It's not the pinchable stuff; it's the insidious kind linked to serious health risks like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. But don't worry, I've got you covered with effective strategies to tackle it head-on. First, I reveal the essential step with your food intake that you need to master before anything else will work. Then, I share the impact that different types of physical activity (like walking, running, HIIT, and resistance training) have on VAT fat. Plus, we'll explore the importance of quality sleep and hormonal balance, especially if you're navigating menopause. Join me in this transformative episode where I blend practical tips with personal insights, including my own struggles and triumphs. Let’s make middle age the prime time for your best health yet.    FULL show notes: https://www.jjvirgin.com/losebellyfat2024 7-Day Eat Protein First Challenge: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst Track your protein & macros with Cronometer App: jjvirgin.com/cronometer Renpho Bioimpedance Scale: https://amzn.to/4abj8Cz Download my free Resistance Training Cheat Sheet: https://jjvirgin.com/resistance Download my FREE Best Rest Sleep Cheat Sheet: https://jjvirgin.com/sleep Tape Measure: https://amzn.to/3wQw4Q2 Study: A reduced ratio of dietary carbohydrate to protein improves body composition and blood lipid profiles during weight loss in adult women: https://consensus.app/papers/reduced-ratio-carbohydrate-protein-improves-composition-layman/01653d342eab51adbb319a1a1b45079f/?utm_source=chatgpt Study: Is the goal of 12,000 steps per day sufficient for improving body composition and metabolic syndrome?
