Last year, Mark Larance, from the Charles Perkins Centre and School of Life and Environmental Science at the University of Sydney, said: “While most people would think that all fat tissue is the same, in fact, the location make big difference.
“Our data show both visceral and subcutaneous fat undergoes dramatic changes during intermittent fasting.”
In 2014, a literature study showed intermittent fasting in humans could reduce belly fat by about three to eight percent over a period of up to 24 weeks.
Participants also lost between four and seven percent of their waist circumference, which often indicates visceral fat.
