Visceral fat: Eggs could help ‘significantly’ reduce harmful belly fat concludes new study

Cholecystokinin is a gut hormone which helps your digestion and reduces your appetite.

Plus, feeling full for longer can help you take control of your calorie intake and consequently help you lose belly fat, the Harvard Health T.H. Chan School of Public Health reports.

Protein can also boost your metabolism, which can in return result in visceral fat loss.

Furthermore, evidence also suggests that when participants swapped carbs for a lower glycaemic choice such as protein, they were able to lose the harmful fat.
