Abs Diet: Hard Belly Fat
Hard is awesome when it comes to abs, but it's a killer when it comes to beer guts. "Having a hard belly is like having a ticking time bomb in your body," says Jean-Pierre Despres, Ph.D., a professor of human nutrition at Laval University in Quebec City. "It increases your chances of heart disease and diabetes, and it's worse than smoking or having high cholesterol." A hard belly is caused by a high accumulation of visceral fat (located in the spaces between organs in your abdominal cavity); it's packed in tightly, so there's no jiggle room. A soft belly is caused by subcutaneous fat (located close to the skin's surface), so it has room to roll. The good news: Losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight will strip 25 to 40 percent of your visceral fat.
