WHAT IS BELLY FAT?
Belly fat is a white fat that builds up in the midsection i.e. around the abdomen and it is known as visceral
or abdominal fat. Visceral fat is located deep inside the abdominal cavity, packed between the internal organs
disrupting their function. Not only is visceral fat present around the belly, but there are two more layers of
fat which constitute belly fat, namely: subcutaneous and intramuscular. Subcutaneous fat lies underneath the
skin and abdominal walls, and is most commonly found around the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen. The intramuscular
fat is found within the skeletal muscles.
