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?

    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

            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.

                    They were talking about going from carb heavy, to carb light, which is how most people cut calories. They aren’t going “man I really ate too much steak yesterday!” They’re thinking about that candy bar or that donut they had. Carbs are burned by your body first as you eat them because they’re the easiest for your body to process.

                    They simply outlined the stages of what that type of dietary change usually looks like. Most useful information? Maybe not, but they aren’t contributing nothing.

            Any fat loss should come from your organs first. The only reason fat is stored in your organs is because your body is unable to store it any other place.

              fat loss should come your organs first.

              I think OP asked for information not guesses
