Subcutaneous Fat: Located just below the skin. It’s the “soft” fat you feel when you pinch your stomach and helps with protection and temperature regulation, but excess fat contributes to abdominal volume.
Visceral Fat: Accumulates in the abdominal cavity, surrounding organs such as the liver and intestines. It is more metabolically active, releases toxins, causes inflammation, and significantly increases the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
