Bitesize: How to Banish Belly Fat & Reverse Insulin Resistance - Dr Clare Bailey


Listen Later

Angela is joined by Claire Bailey to talk about the importance of monitoring and reducing visceral fat for overall health, particularly as individuals age.

They look into the risks associated with visceral fat, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and the development of diabetes. Claire highlights the potential for reversing damage caused by visceral fat through weight loss and dietary changes, emphasising the benefits of targeting visceral fat for improved health outcomes

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Reduction in visceral fat is crucial, especially for women going through perimenopause, as it can lead to health risks like diabetes.

  • Visceral fat wraps around organs, causing inflammation and insulin resistance, but can be reversed through weight loss and draining fat from the liver and pancreas.

  • Monitoring visceral fat is essential as it can be an early warning sign of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.

  • Getting into ketosis by burning fat as fuel instead of sugar, through a low-carb Mediterranean-style diet and rapid weight loss, can help reverse insulin resistance and flatten the glucose curve.

  • Including pulses, whole grains, and fibre in the diet can support the microbiome and make the nutrition plan sustainable and accessible for long-term health benefits

BEST MOMENTS

"Visceral fat is the fat that as you put on weight and particularly if you tend to eat a sort of rather sugary starchy diet, it invades the gut and wraps around the organs and affects particularly the liver and the pancreas."

"There's very interesting research by Professor Roy Taylor who shows very clearly using scans that if you can drain that fat from the liver, the pancreas and around the central part of your body, visceral fat, you can actually reverse that damage."

"It alerts you because every time you sit down you feel like your skirt or your trousers or your jeans are a little bit tight and so it's a reminder I think."

"I think it's very important because the longer your blood sugar and the higher, the longer it lasts for, it's during that time that it's doing the damage."
