Is vascular belly fat from genetics or cortisol (stress) related fat deposits? I have a 4 pack but I have a belly which indicates vascular fat depo?

also, i m a very muscular all around being a trainer on the side and athletic past all my life. i m an avid reader of health and fitness but id like some answers from someone more educated than i m on the subject.

I want to say a little of both. I know stress and cortisol are a major factor in packing on the fat aside from a bad diet, and genetics determine where it all goes first and comes off last.

I doubt there is nobody qualified to answer your question on GaG, either geneticists or endocrinologists. Most people's source will be google, that's where I'd start if I were you.

i read a lot about it but its hard to tell the ratio of how much of these different variable contributes to the total accumulation since they never mention that.

This is worth a read but it might not answer all your questions.. www.reddit.com/.../

forums with educated people are best for these things, you can even find a friendly user who knows their stuff and ask if they wouldn't mind sparing you a moment to explain something. most redditors, at least, are pretty friendly.

see what all the hype is about reddit

yeah, this place is like a KFC compared to reddit which is like a 3 star michelin restaurant, the food is the information and opinions and the people are the customers, it's a different crowd over there.

[justanothergager]

agreed. i try having quality convos at times and find myself dealing with trolls or just misinformed younger people lol

[Opinion Owner]

yeah, I have the same experience with GaG, you do get some good advice but it's usually lost among a load of speculative bullshit and like you say, misinformed opinion. I've always thought this short clip from Training Day summed up this place.. https://youtu.be/x2dTSSQNf1o haha
