Getting rid of stubborn belly fat can be a tricky task and it's often the most difficult part of the body to see weight loss results.
The waistline is host to visceral body fat, also known as 'hidden' fat, which is stored deep inside the belly, wrapped around the organs, including the liver and intestines.
Making up about one-tenth of all the fat stored in the body, it can build up in the arteries and is known as 'active fat' because it actively increases the risk of serious health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
