4 Proven Natural Weight Loss Tips for How to Lose Visceral Fat
It’s not all about looking good. Roll your eyes if you must: everybody’s beautiful in some way. But visceral fat—fat inside the abdomen—is little more than a time bomb wrapped around a belly.Visceral obesity results in fatty acids accumulation in the pancreas, heart, liver, and other organs. This prevents proper organ function, causes improper insulin regulation, and even leads to heart attacks. But don’t stress; if you want to know how to lose visceral fat, try these 4 simple and natural weight loss tips.
How to Lose Visceral Fat – 4 Proven Natural Weight Loss Tips
1. Use Coconut Oil
Although coconut oil got a bad rap in the ‘70s for having high saturated fat content, human studies have shown that coconut oil helps reduce abdominal fat. In one instance, one group of women received 2 tablespoons of coconut oil daily for 12 weeks while the other received none. The group with coconut oil lost some girth and showed a healthy rise in “good” HDL cholesterol levels. As an added bonus, having coconut oil available can also allow you to experience oil pulling benefits.
Replace other cooking oils with coconut oil; it takes like butter (I promise) in baked goods and is mouth-watering in any stir-fry dish.
2. Drink Green Tea
It’s hard to say anything bad about green tea. There has been a connection between green tea and cancer prevention; it helps prevent dementia; it fights free radicals and promote graceful aging, and a 2009 study found that drinking catechin-rich green tea promoted weight loss.
3. Sunbathe for Vitamin D
We’ve already extolled the benefits of vitamin D; one of them is weight loss! A study by researchers at the University of Minnesota reported on the relationship between vitamin D and weight loss, showing that weight loss occurred among people who adopted a balanced diet and had high vitamin D levels. We shouldn’t rob our bodies of the vitamin D found in UVB radiation. To burn some fat, spend short periods outdoors without sunscreen.
4. Avoid Fructose, BPA, and MSG
Countless other toxins likely promote weight gain, but perhaps the three most notable are fructose, Bisphenol A, and monosodium glutamate.
Angel Nadal, a BPA expert at the Miguel Hernendez University in Spain, found that a quarter of a billionth of a gram of BPA triggered the release of twice the regular amount of insulin to digest food. A researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center reported that fructose (especially when in the form of high fructose corn syrup) may be to blame for obesity, and a study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill showed MSG led to animal obesity but also applied to human subjects.
Scour ingredients lists and avoid canned foods to keep these dangers out of your pantry.

Okay, great — easy enough, though i don't drink enough green tea. Great post and good reminder.
BUT how about the extra fun stuff around the back of the thighs?? hmm?
Good post. I too agree with the point that green tea helps in weight loss. Drinking lot of water and regular exercise helps a lot for weight loss. Cooking one's favorite food in different way also helps in reducing weight.Thanks
Nice article!

Paleo diet. Ditch the gluten, grains, and sugar.
I'm a little worried about my green tea and black tea intake. I drink a gallon a day and I read it's full of fluoride. I'm probably getting a huge dose, but I don't know if it's the same kind that is a poison or what.
Nah. Unless your water is fluoridated, you are not in trouble. Fluoride is a waste product of processing some stuff, that oddly enough, validates Dr. Strangelove.
Fluoride is added to the water to reduce tooth decay, reducing cavities by up to 1/3 of previous rate. It is not harmful at low doses; drinking a gallon of tap-water a day won’t hurt you. Chlorine (actually HOCl, hypochloric acid) is a bit more of a problem, but again, much better than cholera. What is more likely a problem is too much caffeine. 1 gallon of green tea is equivalent to about 5-6 12-oz large cups of coffee. Stick to 1/2 gallon a day.
Calcium fluoride is what is good for your teeth in low doses. It is found naturally in some plants and spring water sources. What is added to the water and tooth paste is sodium fluoride. A byproduct of chemical, cement and other manufacturing processes. Sodium fluoride is highly toxic in any amount
What is BPA? I wish those writing articles would explain terms rather than assume everyone knows what they mean.
It’s a chemical usually found in plastic materials and canned foods. It is a chemical that is a part of what the plastic or cans are made of
