The most commonly attempted calorie-restriction diet to lose weight creates an imbalance in our body’s nutrients, causing more fat to accumulate. Visceral fat, the main culprit behind flabby belly fat, is a malignant fat that releases harmful substances, leading to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and hypertension, damaging health and causing chronic fatigue. This book introduces the method by which an internal medicine doctor, who suffered from fatty liver and severe obesity, lost 14kg in one year and regained health. Through the latest medical methods, personally verified and successfully applied, it presents the best path to quickly eliminate visceral fat and restore health by turning off the switch that triggers fat gain through diet and activating the organs that burn fat in the body with proper nutrition.

What is the biggest cause among the ‘factors that increase visceral fat’? To give the answer first: it is ‘carbohydrate intake.’

You might wonder, ‘Visceral fat is fat, isn’t it? What does carbohydrate have to do with it?’ but the main culprit that increases visceral fat is carbohydrates. When carbohydrates such as starch and sugar enter the body, insulin, known as the obesity hormone, is secreted in large amounts. Due to the action of this insulin, excess carbohydrates that are not used for energy are stored as fat, causing weight gain. This is the true nature of the ‘body’s response that increases visceral fat.’

Body’s response that increases visceral fat: Conversely, even if you consume high-calorie foods, if insulin is hardly secreted, you will not gain weight no matter how much you want to. That is how our body is designed. Therefore, if you do not overconsume carbohydrates, you will not gain weight even if you eat high-calorie foods. Understanding this principle reveals how meaningless the still-prevalent ‘calorie theory’ really is.

People who have long followed eating habits that increase visceral fat have changed into a ‘body type that does not easily burn visceral fat.’ In other words, because the fat-burning organs are malfunctioning, visceral fat cannot be burned. Therefore, visceral fat remains accumulated.

Many modern people have problems with their ‘fat-burning organs.’ Let’s find out why problems occur in fat burning and why you have become a body type that does not burn visceral fat. To give the answer first, the reason for becoming a body type that does not burn visceral fat is due to the following nutritional deficiencies.

* Protein deficiency * Iron deficiency * Vitamin deficiency * Mineral deficiency * Carnitine deficiency

There is a problem with ‘typical’ diets. When dieting this way, you lose weight but your physical strength declines, or you may even gain weight. Naturally, visceral fat continues to increase.

The first thing that comes to mind when starting a diet is ‘calorie restriction.’ However, continuing calorie or energy restriction accelerates metabolic slowdown due to nutritional deficiency. Moreover, running is often chosen as the easiest exercise for dieting, but running in such a physical state further lowers metabolism. It goes without saying that energy is needed to exercise.
