Hey there

Just wondering whether anyone can answer me this question

Does insulin resistance make belly fat, or does belly fat make insulin resistance?

I want to get laser lipo on my belly fat ( I have lost weight but the belly remains!!)

I am wondering whether lipo may even make a difference to my health (my confidence yes but will it reduce IR)

Thank you for your input!

Maybe I should post this in Weight Loss Surgery??

Confused!

Check with your doctor, but I think that lipo only removes subcutaneous fat - not 'visceral' fat (which is the dangerous belly fat).

There are actually research studies that have been done on lipo and ir (check pubmed).

No. If anything maybe the Beauty forum. Lipo is a cosmetic procedure - not a weight loss one.

Thank you for the helpful links

Yes I think it only reduces sub fat not visceral fat. Bummer.

For visceral removal? HIIT it

HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training


If you're not up to HIIT yet, build up to it...it's well worth the effort
