Episode 165: Meeting of the Minds to Chew the Visceral Fat

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. In this special episode, Brian hosts a round table
discussion with Dr. Nicholas Norwitz, Dr. Ben Bikman, and Dr. Ben
Bocchicchio on the topic of fat as it relates to metabolic health
and weight loss (especially, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat,
muscle mass, and the relationship between these).


In their discussion, Brian and guests talk about the possible
purposes of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat from an
evolutionary perspective, the compositional and behavioral
differences between these two types of fat, the usefulness of
various markers for judging the metabolic health of a person, the
powerful relationship between muscle building and visceral fat,
the differences between white and brown adipose tissue, why
lowering the number on the scale is not the best indicator of
metabolic health, and a number of different related studies.
