What is the difference between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin)?

  • Visceral fat・・・Difficult to notice since it builds up around the intestines.  Men tend to have it more than women.
  • Subcutaneous fat・・・Builds up under the skin, and can be pinched.  Women tend to have it more than men.

The problem of visceral fat is that when it builds up, harmful substances start to increase inside the body, leading to a high risk of lifestyle oriented diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis.

If your stomach is sticking out but it is difficult to since, there is a high chance that you have visceral fat building up inside you.
