How to properly remove visceral fat. The best sports exercises

Visceral fat- This is a dangerous fat accumulation around the internal organs. Getting rid of visceral fat is a hundred times more difficult than getting rid of subcutaneous fat. Both women and men are at risk of developing visceral fat.

Visceral fat is present in the body of any person. Its safe volume is no more than 15% of total fat mass. Such a small amount of fat is necessary to protect human internal organs. Deviation from the 15 percent norm upward is a direct threat to health.

Visceral fat: a health hazard

Excess visceral fat interferes with blood circulation and, as a result, the enrichment of the body with oxygen. A threat arises cardiovascular diseases, cases of heart attacks are likely. The metabolic process noticeably deteriorates, hormonal balance is disrupted, and varicose veins develop.

“Large accumulations of visceral fat can provoke the development of cancer.”

Visceral fat: causes of formation

Most common reason formation of visceral fat is genetic predisposition and individual human structure. For example, women with a pear shape, which is characterized by a pronounced waist, are less susceptible to the formation of visceral fat than those with an apple shape.

Women during menopause are at risk for the formation of visceral fat due to a decrease in the body's production of the female hormone.

A “beer belly” often indicates the presence of visceral fat in a man. Constant drinking of beer actually affects the accumulation of visceral fat, as it destroys testosterone, which is supposed to fight excess male fat.

Unhealthy diet provokes visceral fat accumulation, regardless of age and gender. By eating daily, we replenish our subcutaneous fat reserves, which are used by the body as an energy resource. Excessive consumption of fatty and sweet foods, baked goods leads to the fact that there is no longer enough space under the skin to store the incoming fat - the fat is distributed deeper, enveloping internal organs.

"Visceral fat forms around the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and genitals."

Visceral fat: calculating the norm

To clearly say about the presence of dangerous visceral fat, compare individual indicators with generally accepted standards. First of all, assess your waist circumference. The female norm is 88 cm, the male norm is 94 cm.

If your individual measurement falls within the normal range, then you don’t have to worry about the problem of visceral fat for now. If the standard is exceeded, calculate the threat coefficient.

Measure your hip circumference and make a calculation: divide your waist circumference by your hip circumference. A healthy result should not exceed 0.88 for women and 0.95 for men.

Visceral fat: ways to get rid of it

A diet to get rid of visceral fat must comply with the following rules.

1. Avoid trans fats. Eliminate from your diet those products that contain substitutes for natural oils. These are not only cheap spreads, but also confectionery and baked goods.

2. Minimize the consumption of animal fats. I'll have to forget about fatty meat, butter, lard, etc.

3. Eliminate foods with high glycemic index(high sugar content).

4. Avoid alcohol. The maximum that you can afford if you have a problem with visceral fat is no more than two glasses of wine “on a special occasion.”

A menu consisting of 70% fruits and vegetables will help you successfully get rid of visceral fat. Therefore, it is recommended to choose long-term balanced diets that are similar in content to vegetarian ones.

Please note that the problem of visceral fat is very often associated with the disease of obesity. If excess weight is already affecting your well-being - contact nutritionists, undergo a comprehensive examination to create an individual diet.

I tried to find information on the Internet, but I came across some nonsense with general phrases, and offers to buy a course “a flat stomach in a week” or “the old-fashioned method of pumping up abs.” These “gorgeous names” still make me smile. As a result, bit by bit I put together my own technique, thanks to which at the age of 30 I still have a flat, sculpted stomach, which cannot be said about many of my friends my age.

How to remove belly fat for a man?
Beer belly, a frequent companion family men, one might even say this is an integral attribute of older men. To remove a beer belly for a man, this very man, the first step is to understand the principle - how does a beer belly appear? Then, begin to influence the cause, as well as some structural features of the body, metabolism and the beer belly, as a result, will disappear. It seems simple and logical, but what is it really like? The first thing we should know is that a beer belly in men is formed from three components:

1. Subcutaneous fat.
2. Visceral fat.
3. Abdominal wall.

In fact, there are many more reasons and in each case they are different, but the formation of a beer belly in men is based on these three ingredients. Let's look at each one in order. How it occurs, what to do to prevent it and how to remove the consequences.

How is fat formed?

Since fat, both subcutaneous and visceral, are formed according to almost the same principle, we will analyze the process of the formation of fat in the body in one point. So. The human body requires a certain amount of energy for normal functioning. Depending on many factors, each body consumes its own amount of kilocalories. Let's take this value as 100%. Next, it is worth understanding that 70% of energy comes from food intake. Another 30% comes from fat cells. Fat is very important, as it is able to maintain the vital functions of the body in the intervals between meals, as well as during sleep. In this way, the norm of energy consumption is formed, measured in kilocalories. I don’t think it’s worth presenting a table with kilocalories of individual products here. Firstly, it will simply clutter up the article, secondly, there are simply a huge number of such tables on the Internet, and thirdly, the calorie content of all the products you consume, almost always, with the exception of vegetables, fruits and bread, is written on the packaging. Calculating your daily diet and your kilocalorie consumption is not difficult.

As is already clear, fats begin to form in the body immediately after eating. As we remember, 70% of the norm goes into the blood and provides our body with energy, and the remaining 30% of the norm goes to build fat, and everything that we consume in excess of the norm also goes there. It is worth saying that food entering the body is broken down into glucose. But if we consume more than the normal dose required by the body, then it (the body) will not be able to use all the glucose, and it will turn into glycerol phosphates. Then, fatty acids are attached to glycerol phosphates, forming a triglyceride, or, more simply, fat.

Subcutaneous and visceral fat.

Once formed in the body, fat is deposited throughout the body, starting from the cheeks, chest, ending with the buttocks, and the stomach - this is normal. This layer on the human body provides us with warmth, allows us to have a supply of energy, and also performs a dozen more useful functions. Normally, subcutaneous fat is not dangerous and is not noticeable.

Visceral fat is fat on the internal organs. Normally, it provides protection to internal organs. But even with a slight excess, visceral fat poses serious problems. And a bulging beer belly is the least of the troubles. Hormonal imbalances, diabetes, blockage of blood vessels with cholesterol plaques and a bunch of other troubles - these are the companions of visceral fat. Now I’m writing an article, and I remembered an incident. I have a friend: 31 years old - 120 kg. Doesn’t consider himself fat, can’t/doesn’t want to lose weight. Recently I was simply shocked when we were sitting as usual, talking, and he took out and injected himself with a glucometer. Honestly, my jaw dropped that in the 10 years after he gained weight, he could also develop diabetes!

Abdominal wall.

Having understood the basics of the appearance of fat in the body, you can move on to the third factor, which significantly affects the appearance of a beer belly in men. This is a loss of abdominal wall tone. The abdominal wall is what supports and fences off our internal organs. Simply put, the abdominal wall is a set of abdominal muscles. In four-legged animals, the abdominal wall provides, among other things, maintaining the back in a horizontal position. And since man is an upright creature, over time, the tone of the abdominal wall weakens, it begins to stretch - taking on the shape of a ball.

Step by step steps to get rid of beer belly.

So, having dealt with each point separately, you can understand that there is not one factor in the formation of a beer belly in men, since it is a set of three components. A kind of sandwich. Visceral fat puts pressure on the stomach from the inside, the abdominal wall weakens and stretches, and subcutaneous fat hangs outside. Understanding this gives us two tasks: remove subcutaneous and visceral fat, restore tone to the abdominal wall. Where do we start? And from everything at the same time. Every day we will need to perform a number of simple actions which, if the outcome is good, should become our companions, good habits :)

If we have excess fat, it means we consume many more calories than we should. Therefore, it is necessary, without changing your diet, to calculate how many kilocalories per day you normally consume. Conduct the experiment, allowing it for a week. You don't have to start losing weight today. Good preparation to losing weight is very important. So, by counting calories for a week, you can approximately understand how many calories you consume daily. Knowing this figure, reduce your diet by 20%.

Under no circumstances should you completely give up food, expose your body to stress, or go on some kind of debilitating diet! In this case, the body will resist, look for workarounds, reduce the effectiveness of exercise and slow down the time of fat burning.

After you have reduced your calories by 20%. Wait a week and record the result. If there is a smooth weight loss, then maintain this value. Once your weight loss slows down, reduce your calories by another 10%. And so constantly reducing, control the level of calories necessary for smooth weight loss.

It's worth knowing a couple of facts about fat loss.

Visceral fat is the first to disappear; only after its reserves have been reduced does subcutaneous fat begin to disappear. Don’t worry and give up without seeing obvious visual progress. Look at the scales and weigh yourself at the same time. Preferably in the morning after visiting the toilet.

Fat does not disappear locally. This means that fat cannot be removed in just one place; it disappears smoothly throughout the body at the same time. In parallel with the way the belly goes away, the fat will also go away from the cheeks, double chin (God, how it infuriated me), from the arms, back, etc.

Burn fat.

The first thought that comes to every person with a beer belly is to start pumping up their abs. But don't start there. I’m not at all a supporter of purposefully pumping the abs, although sometimes it’s fun to pump them, but for some reason the relief is there. It is worth knowing that the abs sway on their own when running, when doing push-ups, when doing pull-ups, and, in principle, during almost most standard workouts.

Let me remind you once again that fat does not go away locally, it definitely won’t go away from pumping your abs. We will need to do slightly different exercises with the stomach. I'll tell you about them below.

So. We have reduced the intake of calories into the body, but the greatest effect for losing weight in the compartment will be the load that will increase the consumption of calorie reserves. I don’t want to describe exhausting workouts, since I myself am quite lazy, like most overweight people. After all, you must agree, if this were not so, we would all play sports, have toned figures, and I would not be writing this article. But alas, we are lazy, we must admit it, and that is why we have what we have. Being a lazy person, I found a way to burn fat without training, easily and simply. Write down the recipe 🙂 It’s enough to get up early, drink a glass of water and walk at least three to four kilometers. I'm not talking about running. I'm talking about simple walking - a leisurely morning walk.

The most big muscles in our body these are legs. If we need to strain something to burn fat, it is better to strain the largest muscles in the body. Morning walking on an empty stomach can eventually develop into brisk walking, and maybe even running in the morning. But this is in the future, but for now, it’s enough just to walk, burning calories. The most difficult thing in this process is to get up early in the morning and still leave the house for Fresh air, and not staying in bed under a warm blanket, with the thought - oh, I’ll start tomorrow :)

It was by walking on an empty stomach that I was able to lose 15 kilograms in a couple of months. True, at that time I also completely excluded breakfast; the first meal was not until lunch. But this is bad, and as practice has shown, fat will also go away if you have breakfast after a walk on an empty stomach. Breakfast should be light, excluding animal fats and glucose.

Abdominal wall training - "Vacuum" exercise.

It's time to approach one of the most important procedures. Restoration and maintenance of abdominal wall tone. If you follow the recommendations I described, reduce calories, burn fat by walking in the morning, then body fat will definitely leave, but the bulging beer belly will still sag. Until the muscle tone of the abdominal area is restored, there will be no sense. How to restore this very tone of the abdominal wall muscles? I would like to say that it’s simple, but that’s how it really is. The exercise is extremely simple, but no matter how many times I would recommend it to my friends who want to get rid of their beer belly, not one could do it. Why? Yes, because they forget. That’s why I say that it is very, very difficult :)

The exercise is performed once or twice a day. Stand up straight. Exhale air from your “stomach”, while simultaneously drawing in this very stomach to the very maximum. Try to pull your stomach in as deep as possible, towards your spine. If possible, try to strain it slightly. And stay in this state for 10 seconds. That’s it! This 10 second exercise will remove your beer belly right before your eyes. The first noticeable results, even without burning fat, are visible after 2 weeks. In a month, the result will surprise you very much.

But again, this exercise is difficult because we forget to do it. Absolutely everyone to whom I advised this simple exercise to remove beer belly asked - what would happen if you did it 10 times a day? It’s okay, the tone will be restored anyway. But as I already said, you shouldn't talk about 10 exercises a day. The paradox is that everyone forgets to do at least one thing :) Or I’m so lucky with my friends and acquaintances.

There is a simple way out of this situation - a stimulator belt. Read detailed description in Russian, you can familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the device at this link . It’s not a bad device, and it’s not expensive, although the effect of using it will be slightly higher than just retracting the abdomen. Since the belt, in addition to toning the abdominal muscles, also tones the skin, which reduces the effect of sagging skin after losing weight. Of course, it won’t pump up your abs, as shown in the pictures, but it will significantly reduce your beer belly, just by toning the abdominal wall.

Exercises for the abs.

Well, the last thing I would like to talk about today, so to speak, to draw a logical line in the topic of fighting the beer animal is pumping the press. As I already said, pumping up the press is not particularly necessary. Relief abs, let's say, is a little different than regular muscle pumping. It’s worth knowing that you, in principle, already have sculpted abs, though not like those of bodybuilders, but enough to see the treasured abs in them. The relief of the press appears, with a decrease in the amount subcutaneous fat. And as we remember, fat is not removed locally, that is, you cannot remove fat from the abdomen by pumping the press. Personally, I don’t often pump up my abs, because I don’t see much point in it. Since my frequent, and perhaps my main, workout is push-ups, my abs pump during push-ups. For runners, it swings as they run. When doing pull-ups on the horizontal bar/parallels, the abs also swing. But since I started this topic, I’ll still tell you about how I pump up my abs in rare moments of my training. I don’t know how others swing, but I’m trying to feel the muscles, understand the degree of load on each fiber of my muscles. I don’t pretend to be the ultimate truth, I’ll just describe the whole process as I do.

I do my abs while standing. I just like this way. I don't like hitting my spine on the floor. And you can tense your abdominal muscles almost anywhere without picking up dirt from the floor.

Weighted turns.

Pick up any weighting material that you feel comfortable working with. This is the case if you do not have dumbbells or weights. I sometimes use a 6 liter bottle of water. Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, back straight. We press the weighting material to the chest and begin the exercise. We turn the upper part of the body (torso), alternately to the right and then to the left. Then, little by little we move the weight forward. We hold him on half-bent arms. Sometimes I hold it outstretched right in front of me. But I don’t recommend anyone to do this - you can break your back with one wrong move. Personally, I broke my back, weighing only 12 kilograms, when I incorrectly picked up a tie (2x6l) of bottles of water, with my arms outstretched and slightly leaning forward.

Lifting the weight up.

We perform it similarly to the previous exercise. We lift with bent arms, keeping our back straight. From the lowest position, lift the weight above your head and place it slightly behind your head, arching your stomach forward. I think you will feel what needs to be done, you will feel the abdominal muscles and the extreme tension in them.

Lifting the weight to the side.

We take the weight in both hands. We hold the load below, but not in the center, but at the left leg. From this position, with half-bent arms, we lift the weight above the right shoulder and bring it back (holding the weight still above the right shoulder), arching the stomach/back as in the previous exercise. We repeat the exercise one by one. From the left leg to the right shoulder and accordingly from right leg to the left shoulder.

Tilts with weights.

Hold the weights against your chest. Feet shoulder width apart. With a straight back, lower your torso and raise it. It's similar to how we pump up our abs, only while standing.

Pumping up your abs while maintaining your waist

By pumping up the abs, we pump up the waist, so that the centimeters in the waist do not go away, but are added. I don’t even remember where I saw this exercise, but I still do it occasionally. Although, as I said earlier, I can’t stand bench press exercises, I still make an exception for this exercise. So, we lie down as usual to pump up the abs, legs bent. To pump the central groove of the abs, we do not need to tear off the whole body, as we were taught at school, since the lower back will also pump, making it (the lower back) wider. So our task is to keep the lower back pressed to the floor and lift only the chest. The amplitude of the exercise will be microscopic, but this is not important. By repeating the exercise, you will feel how much your abdominal muscles tense. The exercise is quite effective in my opinion.

Number of repetitions.

How many times you need to pump up your abs, do this or that exercise I described above is up to you to decide. Feel your muscles, strain them as much as they allow, but a little more. If you forcefully do 50 body lifts, then do 53. :)

The interval between each exercise and repetition should not be too long, I would recommend no more than 20 seconds. Complete one set of 50 repetitions, rest for 20 seconds, proceed to the second approach. I personally do each exercise in 3-5 approaches, with an interval of 10-15 seconds.

It seems that I have told you everything I know about how to remove belly fat for a man, if you have any questions or additions, please write about it in the comments.

We are accustomed to thinking that excess weight is something that visually spoils our appearance, changes shape, and increases volume. But in this fight we have an “invisible enemy”; it has nothing to do with big sides, folds at the waist and “ears” on the hips. It's about about visceral fat - a sure sign of obesity. How does it differ from subcutaneous, what is its danger and how to deal with it? Let's figure it out.

What is visceral fat?

Visceral fat is the layer of fat that covers the abdominal organs. This fat cannot be seen unless there is too much of it - in which case the person's stomach protrudes greatly, although there may not be a large subcutaneous layer on it.

Visceral fat is an important part organ protection and body insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances, but its the norm should not exceed 15% of total mass body fat cells. The greater the amount of visceral fat, the more it is deposited on the anterior abdominal wall, and the larger the volume of the abdomen and waist becomes. Its gradual accumulation can result in serious obesity.

In slender people, the weight of visceral fat reaches about 3 kilograms, and accumulation in obese people in this area of ​​the body can reach up to 20-30 kilograms, so it is so important to start fighting the excess right now.

Causes of visceral fat deposits:

• type of body structure;
• genetic predisposition;
• sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work;
• unhealthy diet - fatty foods, alcohol, large quantities of sweets.

Internal fat is very difficult to get rid of. What makes it special? The fact is that it is located in the serous membrane behind the first layer of subcutaneous fat and abdominal muscles. To get to it, you must first get rid of subcutaneous fat. And after that the situation is still complicated by the muscles, which make it difficult to burn. It is so difficult to combat these deposits that doctors have not yet found a way to get rid of them surgically.

Why is visceral fat dangerous?

An excess of internal fat is fraught not only with aesthetic problems, such as wide waist or “beer belly.” The real danger lies in the consequences of the accumulation of visceral deposits: they slow down blood circulation and lymphatic drainage due to gradual compression of organs, besides, they can impair the functioning of critical organs and negatively affect the secretion of hormones.

Which organs are covered by visceral fat:

• intestines;
• liver;
• kidneys;
• gallbladder;
• genitals;
• large and small intestine.

Since the internal fat layer can affect vital organs, the consequences of obesity can be the most terrible.

Internal fat can cause the following diseases:

• phlebeurysm;
• heart disease - up to heart attack and stroke;
• oncology;
• decrease in potency;
• kidney and liver diseases;
• diabetes;
• hormonal imbalance.

Normal visceral fat in the body

This type of fat is an essential part of our body; we cannot live without it. Visceral accumulations have their own useful and important functions. You just need to make sure that its quantity does not exceed the norm.

The presence of internal fat in the body is determined by calculating body mass index.

You can also roughly determine possible deviations from the norm if measure your waist at the level of the navel, without drawing in the abdomen. For women, the norm is no higher than 88 cm, for men - 94 cm.

Another indicator of the norm may be waist-hip ratio. To do this, you need to measure your waist and hips, and then divide the T indicators by B. For women, the norm is 0.88, for men - no higher than 0.95.

How to get rid of visceral fat at home

You can remove visceral fat with moderate nutrition. Going on strict diets is not recommended. Any strict diet leads to breakdowns and even greater weight gain, especially if there is no stamina and willpower in reserve.

You need to approach healthy weight loss from a different angle: to begin with, study your diet, writing down everything you eat for two weeks, including snacks, analyze the information, and gradually remove harmful foods from your diet, replacing them with healthy ones. This may last a month or a month and a half. There is no need to rush; in this matter, it is not the speed of weight loss that is important, but getting used to a healthy lifestyle. Doctors also advise drinking more water.

You cannot remove fat from your organs with a single diet. For the sake of health you will have to engage in regular physical activity. They will not only help keep the body in good shape, their purpose is to help spend more energy from fat reserves.

Getting rid of visceral fat will be easier and faster if you add it to your nutritional adjustments sports:

• Cardio - running, jumping rope, cycling, etc.;
• Aerobics, dancing;
• Power loads;
• Yoga. It contains special exercises for the abdomen.

It is important not to choose one thing from the above, but to alternate.

How to get rid of excess belly fat at home? “Popular about health” will answer these questions right now.

Why is visceral belly fat dangerous??

Normally, the fat layer that protects internal organs should make up no more than 15 percent of the body’s total fat reserves. Exceeding this norm has a detrimental effect on the health of women and men:

The oxygen supply to internal organs is disrupted.

Fat cells leak into the bloodstream, thickening the blood and raising cholesterol.

There is a danger of varicose veins and blood clots.

Hormonal levels change.

Metabolic processes slow down.

The risk of hypertension, neoplasms, and heart attack increases.

If your figure resembles an apple, that is, your stomach has a rounded shape and it is clearly larger than top part torso, then you probably have excess fat enveloping your internal organs.

Let's consider another way to measure the percentage of visceral fat. Measure your waist and hips. Divide the first value by the second. If the result is a coefficient exceeding 0.87, then you are at risk.
