These Foods Burn Visceral Fat? | Ep. 175

Belly fat that's firm and bloated rather than flabby is usually visceral fat — the kind that wraps around your organs and behaves like a hormonal organ. In this episode, Elwin Robinson investigates the viral "foods that burn belly fat" claims and separates the ones backed by real randomized controlled trials from the ones that fall apart under scrutiny. He walks through green tea, beans and legumes, garlic, omega-3, olive oil, and lactoferrin — explaining what worked, what didn't, and his own theory that toxicity is the hidden driver of visceral fat.
