# 537 - The BIG Visceral FAT mistake people make
We all know about the fat underneath the skin, but how many of us are aware of the other kind of fat that can have serious health consequences, visceral fat. This kind of fat lies around our internal organs and shockingly, you can have it in large amounts without even knowing its there. It is the kind of fat that lends itself to the term skinny fat .. that is , people who are thin on the outside but are fat on the inside. Visceral far is dangerous for our health because its metabolically active and not in a good way, it also promotes systemic inflammation and contributes to chronic disease like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. In this episode I detail symptoms or warning signs of having high levels of visceral fat. I also discuss how to get rid of viscreal fat through behavioural and dietary changes.

# 536 - The BIGGEST 16 : 8 diet mistake people make
Weightloss, longevity, boosted energy levels and all while still being able to eat foods you enjoy, this is the promise of the 16:8 diet, which involves 16 hours of fasting and an 8 hour window during which you can consume your food. But is it all hype ?New research has emerged that the answer is not straightforward. One study compared those engaging in the 16:8 diet to a group who ate normally and actually found no significant difference in weightloss outcomes. The 16: 8 diet did however result in improved insulin sensitivity and reduced late night snacking, so not an insignifcant result in itself. People tend to make one huge mistake when trying the 16:8 diet which confounds their efforts to improve their health, in this episode I discuss what that one mistake is.
A motivational exploration of all things health, science and wellbeing with presenter and biochemistry graduate Mathieu Norry. We look at psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and human biology amongst other subjects. New episodes are published every Monday and Thursday.
