I was wondering if your body gets whatever is considers the “low hanging fruit” first and would remove visceral fat last.
If so are there targeted diets for that specific fat?
Depends on your DNA AFAIK and you can’t really decide
Usually on diets where you go from a carb heavy regimen to less carbs:
-
first you lose water weight as electrolytes start to balance due to the change in insulin levels
-
the body removes fat from organs as first priority (sometimes called visceral fat). The body does not want to store fat in organs, but it does so only if it can’t put fat anywhere else. Once you start to lose weight it comes from here first.
-
then we are at generalized weight loss, which is different for everyone.
Source on carb count making a difference?
The body spends “easy” energy first (carbohydrates) and resort to burning fat when it really has to
Thats a myth, here are some videos by a guy with a PhD, any sort of calorie deficit will result in fat being burned, unless you manage to break the laws of physics and create energy from nothing.

calorie deficit
Eating enough carbohydrates to cover your energy need isn’t a deficit. I meant what I said, the body uses what it has available but prefers “easy” sources
i have no idea what are you talking about at this point, the question was if there is a way to target weight/fatloss, there isn’t one.
That wasn’t what I was talking about.
well thanks for your off topic contribution then I guess.
