I belatedly noticed I'd put on some visceral fat a few years ago. My wife & I are on our second year of intermittent fasting - 8/16. My weight was around 175-177 (5'10"), & I've dropped & stayed around 170. It seems like it takes much longer to get rid of it than to put it on. I turn 80 this year, so that may have something to do with it. I recommend trying the 8/16 thing. After two years, I haven't felt hungry in the mornings for a long time and feel like I need to eat a little less for the lunch time & dinner meals to avoid feeling stuffed. Not eating after 8 PM pretty much rules out my glass of scotch. No breakfast saves time in the mornings too. I also walk 3 miles (uphill & down hill) doing exercises with my heavy hand weights (5 lbs.) three or more times a week. I can't stave off the loss of muscle mass or the falling of my chest, etc., but I'd like to keep what I can for as long as I can & not have my wife & sister teasing me about being a barrel with stick arms & legs someday.
