What is Fat
There are two types of fats. They are Subcutaneous and Visceral. If your tackling weight loss by way of getting rid of fat, it will help you to know more about it. Know your enemy in order to beat it. Most diets that people get on to lose weight will primarily involve fat loss. Most people just think of fat as jiggly and unsightly tissue.
Something that may interest you is that the fat you see is not really that much of a problem. The real danger lie in something you can't even see. While you are pushing yourself to lose all that fat, something else is at work in your body.
You need to know the different types of fat to better understand how each one works and affects your health and appearance.
All of the fat you can physically touch, pinch, and jiggle around is subcutaneous. The main points to learn about this are that it only causes problems because of stress on joints and bones. The only implication of it is the extra weight you feel. It is also what makes you appear fat and overweight. This type of fat is not really that dangerous as far what you may think. Keep in mind subcutaneous fat is still going to put people at higher risk for heart problems, diabetes, and other problems. Having said this, the second type of fat is much worse on your health.
This is the most harmful form of fat you can have. Visceral means that the body fat has gotten in between body cavities. This gets around organs like your heart and lungs, which can cause lung collapse and early death. It does start to affect the function of organs when it gets out of control. Most deaths from this result as heart disease and attacks because visceral fat bulges on arteries.
The worst place for visceral fat to form at is your stomach or abdominal cavity. It may cause lots of serous side effects such as diabetes, inflammation, and heart risks. There is a way for you to tell if the fat on your stomach is visceral or not. If it is hard to the touch and bulges out, you have a problem. The simple explanation for why your stomach looks fat but is hard to the touch is because of fat build up under the muscle tissue rather than being on top of it. This fat pushes the muscles out and it feels hard. The reason this is far more dangerous than have a jiggly stomach is because now you know the fat is around all your vital organs.
Obviously both types of fats need to get cut down for morbidly obese patients. The good news is that a good diet and exercise will reduce these fats. Stay motivated if your jiggly fat is still their after months of hard work. The more harmful visceral fat that is located under muscle tissue will start to go away first. It is a good thing and means your getting much healthier.
