“Oh you won’t find any Visceral Fat in me I have been Vegan over 25 years”. Is this true? VAT is an indicator of declining health and the potential for disease. Vegan eats what they consider a “clean healthy diet”. Many turn to the vegan diet to ward off heart disease stating it lowers cholesterol. But VAT is a bigger indicator of the potential for metabolic derangement that leads to heart disease. We discuss the effects of a strict vegan diet as compared to a low-carb high-fat diet that includes lots of animal protein. http://medconwellness.com
