There are two types of stomach fat- the hypodermic and the visceral fat. The visceral fat is the one that is around the vital organs and is actually more harmful because it actually impacts the insulin resistance and causes higher risk of diabetes.
The leptin hormone is freed from the fat and it has a function to regulate the learning, memory and appetite.
It is usually not very easy to eliminate the stomach fat, but with an improved and healthier diet and regular exercising. You can eliminate the stomach fat in 2 — 3 weeks.
