Diary of a CEO: If You Can’t Lose Belly Fat, You NEED To See This
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Exercise for visceral fat loss: Prioritize aerobic exercise (running, cycling, swimming) over resistance training to target visceral fat.
- Intermittent fasting: Try 16:8 fasting (16-hour fast, 8-hour eating window) to deplete glycogen and trigger fat-burning ketosis.
- Morning fasting benefits: Extend your overnight fast to enhance mental clarity and activate cellular repair processes.
- HIIT for insulin sensitivity: High-intensity interval training counters insulin resistance caused by stress/sleep deprivation (especially for new parents).
Notable Quotes
“Visceral fat is the real underlying problem causing insulin resistance – not just glucose.”
“Ketones from fasting act as brain fuel and reduce anxiety by increasing GABA.”
Bottom Line
To lose stubborn belly fat: 1) Do vigorous aerobic exercise daily, 2) Try 16:8 fasting with morning ketosis, and 3) Prioritize sleep/stress management if you’re insulin resistant.
