The location of fat (subcutaneous vs. visceral) is a more significant indicator of metabolic health than total body weight or total fat mass.

“fat Depot number two visceral or big belly fat now how many pounds or kilos of big belly fat do you have to gain before you get metabolic leil I”

“there's been a big discussion about the difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat you could have two people that weigh exactly the same and you could even have two people that have a similar mass of fat but where that fat resides probably tells us much more about their metabolic health”

“it's the visceral fat it's the organ fat that we don't see that's really driving the inflammatory response we want to avoid and and that's why there's such an association a strong association between obesity and chronic disease”
