Its definitely fat. I’m in the same boat. 6ft, with this thick tyre around my mid section, weighing in at a mighty 210 ibs (whereas, previously, all of my life prior to Peat I weighed 170ibs). When i temporarily go low carb, my belly evens out slightly, but the pad of fat is still there and so far, nothing I have tried has made a dent at shifting it.
For me, over the past few years, the weight gain has been down to eating too much dietary fat (easily done on this approach to eating because fructose just doesn’t suffice for satiation, no matter how much you eat it), but also down to just eating too much fructose in general (which is directly shunted to the liver and fat production can increase further). And especially these things in combination, and along with high calories, because some of us on the forum unfortunately bought into this concept of ‘re-feeding’, and now we seem to be stuck with this added fat on our bodies.
One day I will work out this belly fat thing. I just don’t think I can make improvements in my health at all until, physically, I am in better shape to start building from a decent platform.
Well I’m six years PUFA depleted and the new formula of tovovit also has zero results for me (well, since the formula changed from the old one). The old formula used to heat me up significantly. I personally have doubts about what the new formulation does exactly.
How heavy are you? Yeah totally agree with all of that. And when you go through this detox phase, you can hammer your liver and kidneys if you’re not careful. Be careful guys.
You don’t want to end up like me with proteinuria (the degenerative start of my declining kidney health). Once your kidneys are fully gone, you are pretty much done. It’s game over. Experts don’t know what has caused my proteinuria but I’m convinced that years of PUFA depleting and the tissue toxicity released into my blood stream has taken its toll.
Are you currently using any vitamin E? I was using Unique E so I could basically overdose without spending a fortune, until I heard some chatter here that it isn't what it used to be. Now I just use small doses of TocoVit.
