The FAT Truth

Fat, we all want to burn fat, right? But how much do you know about body fat? 

There are 2 types of fat in our body, subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the fat that lies just under the skin, the kind you can pinch! Visceral fat is a little harder to id because it's actually in your body cavity, around and between your organs. Your body needs a healthy level of these essential fats to insulate and keep your organs stable, but as it gets out of balance, it becomes destructive! Visceral fat can be dangerous to your body and your health as it increases! Why?
