Subcutaneous and Visceral Fat

Source: https://www.westlakedermatology.com/blog/different-types-of-fat-subcutaneous-vs-visceral/

Subcutaneous fat is the fat below the skin (that you can pinch) while Visceral fat is the internal fat that surrounds your body organ.

As part of the overall fat loss, it's important to track visceral fat loss as well. A high amount of visceral fat reduces the efficiency of organs and can cause several diseases.
