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
