Subcutaneous fat is the fat stored just under the skin. Visceral fat surrounds the organs. This type of fat is unhealthy and inflammatory, often related to insulin resistance. Liver fat can be eliminated in a matter of days or weeks.
Fat on the inner thighs is the most difficult type of fat to get rid of. This fat is not just superficial; it’s woven inside the muscle fibers, similar to the marbling in Wagyu beef. Muscle deteriorates and is replaced by fat and scar tissue. Stem cells that make muscle cells are lost, resulting in fewer contractions, less ATP, and more insulin resistance in the muscle.
This abnormal accumulation of fat in the muscle is called myosteatosis, or intramuscular fat. This fat must be burned locally! As you begin to address this problem, you may not initially lose weight or notice a visible change, because the change occurs at the cellular level.
For inner thigh fat loss, focus on repairing damaged muscle cells, rather than simply losing weight. Strength and decreased appetite will signify that you are improving.
The root causes of intramuscular fat are the following:
•Inactivity/sedentary life
•Insulin resistance
•Inflammation
•Aging
For the most inner thigh fat loss, try the following:
1. Eccentric exercises
2. Walking
3. Sprinting/HIIT
4. Two meals per day/low-carb diet
5. Increase key nutrients: magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3
6. Get plenty of sleep
7. Periodic prolonged fasting
8. Cold plunge/shower

| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about how to tone your inner thighs. If we just take a look at subcutaneous |
| 0:06.3 | fat, that's the superficial fat right underneath the skin. That actually is a healthy fat. It's used as |
| 0:12.2 | a safe storage of fat. And by the way, fat typically is potential energy. It's used to help us survive. |
| 0:20.3 | So you have a subcutaneous or superficial fat. |
| 0:22.5 | Then you have something called visceral fat. That's the fat around the organs. It's usually in the |
| 0:27.5 | belly. So if you look down at your shoes and you can't see your shoes, chances are you have |
| 0:33.2 | visceral fat. And that is not a good type of fat. That's an inflammatory fat. It's a very unhealthy |
| 0:38.5 | type of fat because the fat cell is no longer taking in fat because it's damaged with something |
| 0:45.0 | called insulin resistance. Then it gets stored around the organs and also inside certain organs. |
| 0:52.4 | Number three, we have liver fat. It's fat inside the liver. This fat, by the way, |
| 0:59.9 | is the easiest to get rid of. Super fast to reverse this in days or weeks, but the fat around your |
| 1:08.1 | thighs is what we're going to focus on. It's not only very different, it's the most difficult to get rid of. |
| 1:13.4 | The fat is not just underneath the skin superficially. |
| 1:17.7 | The fat is inside the muscle fibers itself. |
| 1:23.0 | Very similar to if you've ever seen Wagyu beef where you have this marbled fat that's what's |
| 1:29.4 | happening in the thighs and with wagu beef people buy it because it's delicious and |
| 1:34.6 | it's very tender it's tender because there's not much collagen in there and so |
| 1:40.3 | that's not really a healthy state when you don't have collagen. So the cows that they raise to develop this muscle have certain genetics that have a tendency |
| 1:50.1 | to become like this, and they have to overfeed them and not give them much activities. |
| 1:55.6 | And so if we compare in contrast in this situation with the size, and there's also a severe loss of muscle, because |
| 2:02.8 | that fat is overtaking the space of the muscle and kind of suffocating it with fibrous scar tissue. |
| 2:10.6 | If we look at an advanced case of this, especially when people get older, what that person |
