Fat deposits inside the body – around the internal organs – can be a serious health hazard. In the event of the appearance of excess fat inside the abdomen, not only weight gain occurs, but also a violation of the functions of internal organs, which ultimately can provoke obesity and lead to the development of concomitant diseases. In the presence of a “neglected” problem, complex measures developed by doctors are required. However, to prevent the formation of visceral fat, it is enough to heed the advice of nutritionists.
Any nutritionist will say that the ideal diet is balanced, and there are no “miracle foods” that could easily and quickly get rid of a particular problem. However, a number of products can really have a noticeable effect in a particular part of the body due to useful trace elements in their composition. And in the case of visceral fat, nutritionists talk about the ability of one drink to fight the formation of internal fat deposits.
We are talking about protein shakes or smoothies based on them, writes the portal EatThisNotThat, citing the opinion of the doctor Courtney DeAngelo. According to the expert, the protein fights visceral fat in several ways at once.
“Firstly, protein drinks make you feel full, satisfy your hunger, which is always important when it comes to losing weight,” says DeAngelo.
According to The Journal of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome, protein boosts metabolism by building muscle mass.
“Our muscles are metabolically active, which means that the greater the amount of muscle, the faster the metabolism,” says DeAngelo, “which leads to the burning of more fat both in the whole body and in the abdominal zone (inside the abdomen – MK).”
When choosing a protein mixture, experts advise, first of all, to pay attention to the manufacturer – the product must be certified. The second point is that it is better to choose mixtures with a lower sugar content, which is very important in weight loss.
