I was wondering if your body gets whatever is considers the “low hanging fruit” first and would remove visceral fat last.

If so are there targeted diets for that specific fat?

    The body spends “easy” energy first (carbohydrates) and resort to burning fat when it really has to

        calorie deficit

        Eating enough carbohydrates to cover your energy need isn’t a deficit. I meant what I said, the body uses what it has available but prefers “easy” sources

          i have no idea what are you talking about at this point, the question was if there is a way to target weight/fatloss, there isn’t one.

                They were talking about going from carb heavy, to carb light, which is how most people cut calories. They aren’t going “man I really ate too much steak yesterday!” They’re thinking about that candy bar or that donut they had. Carbs are burned by your body first as you eat them because they’re the easiest for your body to process.

                They simply outlined the stages of what that type of dietary change usually looks like. Most useful information? Maybe not, but they aren’t contributing nothing.
