Robert Lustig: Losing Just 5% of Your Weight Can Dramatically Improve Your Health
Excerpt from a YouTube talk by Robert Lustig (uploaded by Dr. Ron Najafi) comparing subcutaneous and visceral fat. Lustig states that the median amount of subcutaneous fat that leads to illness is ~10 kilos (22 pounds), contrasts this with metabolically active visceral (belly) fat that is lost first during weight loss, and asserts that losing 5% of body weight reliably improves metabolic health because visceral fat is preferentially released.
