Excess visceral fat can pose serious health risks, but when you embark on a healthy diet and exercise plan, this fat is often the first to disappear. This means you're likely to notice weight loss in your abdominal area first.

Why does visceral fat burn first?

Because of its proximity to the liver, visceral fat is usually the easier fat to burn. It's the less risky subcutaneous fat that likes to stick around.

Which fat will burn first?

Mostly, losing weight is an internal process. You will first lose hard fat that surrounds your organs like liver, kidneys and then you will start to lose soft fat like waistline and thigh fat. The fat loss from around the organs makes you leaner and stronger.
