Can deep belly fat change even when the scale barely moves?
Can deep belly fat change even when the scale barely moves?A medical study found the answer surprised many researchers.
In healthy adults, deep visceral fat dropped about 16–17% in just four months.At the same time, body weight changed only around 2–3%.
That means something important changed inside the body first.The scale stayed quiet, but deep fat around organs reduced.
This study used electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), not dieting or gym workouts.Sessions were short, only 20 minutes, twice per week.
Researchers measured fat using DEXA scans, not tape measures or guesses.They could see deep belly fat directly, not just the waistline.
Here is the twist.In people with type 2 diabetes, the effect was much smaller.
In women with diabetes, deep belly fat did not change at all.The same method worked for some bodies, but not for others.
This helps explain why effort does not always match results.It also explains why weight alone can be misleading.
If this made you curious, there is much more.The full research digest explains who it worked for, who it didn’t, and why.
You’ll also find the original research paper, podcast episodes, and deeper insights.
