Unmasking Visceral Fat: The Hidden Dumpster Fire Inside Your Body
Populations adapted by developing energy-conserving physiology — efficient fat storage, early insulin resistance (to prioritise glucose for the brain), and lower lean muscle mass.
But when this “thrifty” biology meets modern abundance — high-refined-carb diets, low physical activity — the same traits become maladaptive:→ less muscle mass, less subcutaneous storage, more spillover into visceral depots.
