I thought the "belly fat" issue was due to the OMENTUM, which is deep visceral fat meant to protect internal organs, and regulate hormones/enzymes in the liver(For the exact explanation see Dr. Oz's website) ....and whether or not your an "apple" vs "pear"...and I'm sure all of you already know that being an apple shape can possibly lead to heart disease and diabetes....so from what I remember Dr. Oz saying, the Omentum starts off like a small laced doily, but as you gain it grows, and releases more insulin, and estrogen directly into the liver, which is very bad....and it becomes stubborn to decrease the omentum once it has enlarged, BUT can be done.....Be patient and keep MOVING and eating "CLEAN" !
