Abatement of visceral fat
For those people who really want to get rid of visceral fat, you must first understand whether they have the willpower and the very strong desire to lose weight. In the event that the willpower is weak, then little or no results will not be achieved. To explain it simply enough. Visceral fat can not be removed from the body by referring to the plastic surgeon, the masseur or beautician. This can be done only with the help of diet and observing a number of recommendations that will help as soon as possible to achieve the desired results.
First of all, it is necessary to limit the use or to exclude from your diet foods that contain large amounts of carbohydrates (all sweet, bananas, flour). It is like a very tasty products that are used in large quantities, inevitably turn into fats and deposited in our body in its most problematic areas (waist and thighs).

They are responsible for the breakdown and assimilation of large amounts of trace elements and vitamins in the stomach. Without them, they can not do the proper and smooth functioning of the brain, which is more than 55% consists of fat.
To understand what kind of foods containing fat, you need to stop eating during the weight loss, you need to know what in general there are fatty acids. They are subdivided into saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids are found in eggs, meat, milk, butter, palm and coconut oil, as well as ice cream.
Once in our bodies, it is this kind of fat is deposited in the body and rapidly increases. It is used during starvation or great physical exertion and gradually burned. However, the process of parting with any body saturated fatty acids is very difficult, therefore, to go to far with their number in your diet should not be.
Unsaturated fatty acids are sesame, olive, peanut oil, fish and nuts. They just needed people, so exclude them from its menu, you should not. Such a ban is easily explained by the fact that these fats, in contact with the food into the body, it increases the turnover of cells. This feature allows all useful substances into cells and causes to carry out proper metabolism.
In the event that completely removed from their daily menu of unsaturated fatty acids, can quickly make your body weak and susceptible to a lot of terrible diseases (infertility, cardiovascular disease, liver and urinary tract).
