There are 3 kinds of fat in a human body and in most other animals. Actually, probably more, cos the brain is nearly all fat - omega 3 FA's. I'll just stay with humans, but people who render animals can pitch in about animals if they like. But, starting from the top. Literally - Brown fat. Neck and brain stem area. 20 gm or so worth. Lose this and major health problems, very very essential fat. But this fat is heavily protected, to the extent, you will erode organs before hitting this. White fat. This is everything you see. Relatively in consequential except for appearance. Provides you with fuel for a famine when needed. Can be several 100 lbs and not cause issues. Looks bad mostly, especially if its in the wrong places on the wrong gender LOL. Visceral fat. This is behind the abdominal wall, between and in some organs (liver and pancreas) maybe 20 gm worth. This is the cause of 90%+ of health problems in the world. This is why a 400 lb smoker drinker doesn't have diabetes, while a 120 lb clean living guy could - Both are Co-workers of mine. Non alcoholic Fatty liver disease is about 10-12 gm in your liver. Type 2 Diabetes is 1 gm in your pancreas. So far its pretty clean and accepted as fact by the medical community. Someone who develops a nano particle that when injected into you blood stream will get to the pancreas and get this fat out and flush it will be a gazillionaire. Or - S/he'll be persecuted as a criminal by the pharma industry. How to get rid of it. OK complete conflict here. Some doctors say clean good food, some say lose weight, say you have 20 gm of this and 200 lb extra white fat, you lose 100 of the white, 10 of this goes with it. Some say you have to lose most of 200 of the white fat before you start on this. My thought is this. I do believe good food habits will keep it from getting deposited. But once it is there, you have to lose most of the bad fat before this will go. Once it does go, you have to stay in a fat burning mode and go to a clean eating habit for a while to disable the visceral deposit mechanism. That 20 gm (or whatever it was/is) is what I am trying to get rid of. It may be accurately (or inaccurately) measured by a BIA scale, but one thing even the inaccurate ones do apparently is correctly detect changes in it. Say it read 25. And 6 months later it read 12.5. That means 1/2 of it is lost. The beauty is, when its gone and stays gone, you can do anything you like and not have any health problems. I think it still doesn't cover smoking though or microbe related ailments, but just for food - anything goes. I'll keep you guys posted when the scale shows up and how I go from here. Worst case I can measure impedance of these new klipsch'es I got right. Cool. Srinath.
