I was wondering if your body gets whatever is considers the “low hanging fruit” first and would remove visceral fat last.

If so are there targeted diets for that specific fat?

    Agree: for most people, the beer gut is more pronounced because of the laxity of the front abs (also causing a hyper extended spine which causes back pain), it’s not all just fat. So, proper training and strengthening of the abs will help pull those things back in line, but won’t do much for burning off fat.

      I’m a massage therapist for context. If I had a dollar for every client I’ve had that I wish I could tell “Your back would feel better if you had any strength in your abs and something more than a Hank Hill ass” I’d be able to afford a very long vacation
