Summary of Transcript:
In this video, Dr. Berg discusses the three types of belly fat. The first type is sagging belly fat caused by too much insulin or cortisol. The second type is protruding belly fat, which is a liver problem where fluid leaks into the abdomen. The third type is a lower pooch caused by subcutaneous fat, typically due to too much estrogen. Visceral fat, a dangerous type of belly fat, obstructs the organs’ function and releases harmful substances causing inflammation. The best way to get rid of this type of belly fat is by reducing carb intake and managing stress. Exercise does not significantly reduce insulin levels. The protruding belly type is usually a cirrhosis problem caused by advanced liver disease and leaks fluids into the abdomen. The best way to support the liver is to reduce alcohol intake, take vitamin E, and consume cruciferous vegetables. Exercise has an insignificant effect on reducing this type of belly fat. Subcutaneous fat is not necessarily dangerous, and exercise can significantly help to reduce it. Lowering estrogen levels and following a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can speed up the process.

Summary of Description:
Dr. Eric Berg discusses the three types of bellies: sagging belly, protruded belly, and lower pooch. A sagging belly is caused by visceral fat, triggered by too many carbohydrates or stress, and can obstruct the function of certain organs. To get rid of it, you need to keep your carbs low and stress levels low. A protruded belly is not actually fat, but a result of a liver problem. You could benefit from changing your lifestyle and consuming vitamin E and cruciferous vegetables. A lower pooch is often caused by too much estrogen, and can be reduced with exercise, cutting carbs, and intermittent fasting. It’s important to consult a physician before making any changes to your health regimen or diet.

Understanding the Different Types of Belly Fat
Belly fat is a common problem for many people. It not only makes it difficult to fit into clothes properly but can also put you at risk for various health issues. However, not all belly fat is the same. In this article, we will explore the three different types of belly fat and how to get rid of them.
Sagging Belly
The first type of belly fat is the sagging belly. This is visceral fat that accumulates around your organs and inside them, making it dangerous. This type of fat can obstruct the function of certain organs, causing inflammation and other health issues.
The primary cause of sagging bellies is too much insulin triggered by consuming too many carbohydrates or too much stress. The best way to counteract this type of fat is to focus on keeping carb intake low and reducing stress levels.
Protruded Belly
The protruded belly is not actually fat. Instead, it could be caused by a liver problem that has existed for a long time. The liver is damaged and is leaking fluid from the liver into a sack in the abdomen, resulting in a protruded belly.
It’s crucial to change your lifestyle and the foods you consume immediately. Vitamin E in the form of tocotrienols can be beneficial for cirrhosis, and consuming cruciferous vegetables and moderate to low protein can also help. Focusing on supporting your microbiome, consuming TUDCA, and avoiding certain foods like alcohol, processed carbs, and sugar can minimize the effects of a protruded belly.
Lower Pooch
The third type of belly fat is the lower pooch, which is superficial and often caused by too much estrogen. This type of fat is not very dangerous, and it is common in women.
In addition to cutting carbs and doing intermittent fasting, exercise can be beneficial in this situation. It may take a while to get rid of the last little bit of belly fat, but some things can help speed it up, such as increasing fasting and lowering estrogen.
Conclusion
Understanding which type of belly fat you have is essential in identifying the underlying causes and taking steps to address them. By following the recommendations provided, you can finally get rid of your belly fat and improve your overall health. As always, it’s important to consult with a licensed medical professional before making any significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.

This is visceral fat, which is spill-off from the liver. It spills off around the organs and inside of the organs. This is a dangerous type of fat because it can obstruct the function of certain organs, and it can increase inflammation that can create other health issues.
This type of belly is usually caused by too much insulin triggered by consuming too many carbohydrates or too much stress (cortisol). To get rid of this type of belly, you need to focus on keeping your carbs low and keeping your stress low.
2. Protruded belly
This isn’t actually fat. The protruded belly could be caused by a liver problem that has existed for a long time. The liver is damaged and is leaking fluid from the liver into a sack in the abdomen. In this situation, it’s essential to change your lifestyle right away.
Vitamin E in the form of tocotrienols can be beneficial for cirrhosis. You may want to take 300mg 2-3 times a day. Consuming cruciferous vegetables and a moderate to low amount of protein may be beneficial. It’s also important to focus on supporting your microbiome. You could try taking TUDCA as well.

Exercise can be beneficial in this situation in addition to cutting your carbs and doing intermittent fasting. It can take a long time to get rid of the last little bit of belly fat. But, you can do a few things to speed it up, like increase the amount of fasting you do and do things to lower your estrogen.
