It's not just about beer. The visceral fat pattern men accumulate has a specific biology — and specific health consequences.
Why men store abdominally
Testosterone direction + lower oestrogen (in men) = preferential abdominal storage. Genetics, age, and lifestyle modify the pattern.
Why visceral fat matters more
Visceral (around organs) fat is metabolically active — secretes inflammatory cytokines that drive diabetes, fatty liver, and cardiovascular disease. Sub-cutaneous fat is far less risky.
What GLP-1 targets
Visceral fat responds faster than subcutaneous. Waist measurement often drops faster than overall weight initially — that's a good sign.
