  1. Hi all,

    I'm 17 years old and male.
    Although I am skinny/thin and underweight as well I have lot of
    visceral fat which results in a very bloated and pooching
    abdomen/belly.
    This is quite strange as I'm both underweight and obese at the same
    time (being called such accumulation of visceral fat "central obesity"😉
    I'm trying to get rid of it especially for health reasons.
    I've bought a set of free weights and I'm not following any particular
    elitist diet but Walter Willett approach to focus on good carbs
    (legumes, low glycemic fruits, vegetables) good fat (nut, olive oil,
    fish) and healthy proteins (eggs, poultry) instead of worrying about
    the exact ratios.

    I would like to know what can I do to get rid of my belly fat.
    How can I lose weight if I'm already underweight?
    and if I am underweight because I'm undermuscled, how can gain muscle
    mass and losing visceral fat at the same time?
    Can I lose visceral fat while being on weight maintenance caloric
    intake?
    and if not how can I afford to be on a caloric deficit intake if losing
    weight would make me even more underweight and look like an anorexic?

    Maybe my "problem" can be a pretext to discuss new information about
    the problem of visceral fat and how to lose it

    Thanks in advance,

    J. David

    Height, weight and body fat percentage if known?
    Have you asked anyone else if they think that you have a very bloated
    abdomen??
    Can you post a link to a digital photo of yourself.

    You cannot selectively get rid of belly fat. YOu can get rid of fat
    by ingesting few calories than you expend. Genetics determines where
    the body fat comes off first and last.

    Quoted message said:

    Underweight but maybe not under fat.

    It is not so easy. You can cycle your calories so one week you consume
    more than maintenance and the next less than maintenance.

    Quoted message said:

    intake?

    Probably not.

    Quoted message said:

    Again it is important to have more objective measure by body fat
    percentage and picture to give a reasonable reply.

    Most men tend to preferentially store body fat around their abdomen.
    It will be the last to go when you lose fat.

    The potential for spot reduction of bodyfat is essentially nil.
    Different people develop adipose tissue in different places, and the
    places where it is prominent are usually the last places to go.

    You will do much better if you start lifting regularly, and continue
    to increase the weight. Putting on more muscle mass will shift your
    nutrient partitioning and make that fat easier to lose.

  4. Dear psycho-teen,
    What's your height and weight? Even a 3rd grader knows it is impossible
    to be overweight and underweight at the same time. Go see a shrink, and
    stop seeking advice from these roided out idiots.

    I don't believe belly fat and visceral fat are the same thing.

    You don't have to decrease *weight*, you have to shift body
    composition. Which you can do by increasing your level of physical
    activity.

    Quoted message said:

    (losing fat) ? How can I put on more muscle mass while losing fat
    mass?

    If you start by being under-muscled and over-fat, there's only one
    direction to go in, on both counts. A shift in body composition is
    far from extraordinary -- it is the normal outcome for those
    commencing an exercise program.

    Observations about it being difficult to simoultaneously gain lean
    mass and lose fat at the same time only apply to people who are
    already fit. Not you.

    Increase the weight you lift, not your body weight.

    It can be done, particularly by those who are novices.

    Unless you have unusually small bones I suspect that your body fat
    percentage is quite low with those measurements. I also suspect that
    your problem is that most all of your body fat is abdominal
    subcutaneous fat that is especially prominent because the rest of your
    body is so thin.

    If you had more muscularity you might not notice it as much. I don't
    think that you want to lose any more weight/fat given how little you
    weigh for your height. I think your best strategy is to put on some
    muscle mass by eating hypercalorically with adequate protein and get
    into a regular lifting program using moderate to heavy weights. Once
    you have added the muscle you can then go on a cutting cycle during
    which time you will preferentially lose fat (and maintain most of the
    muscle gains).

    It may take several months to a year for you to gain enough mass
    before the fat loss will result in your abdomen not looking so
    bloated. Also realize that your genetics is working against you and
    that your body will always preferentially store fat in your abdominal
    area. Liposuction may be useful but I would not recommend surgical
    intervention before trying what I suggested.

    I also suggest that you get some calipers and get your body fat
    measured so that you can monitor changes as you work on body
    recomposition.
