How can you tell if you have visceral fat?

I don't think that my bf% is high, but my parents pointed out yesterday that I looked like I had a gut. I'm like what, feel that, and it was all muscle, and I could see my abs. Does everyone else's abs do down in a slant when not walking straight up, like it sticks out a bit more at the bottom?

If you have a six-pack or very little fat on your belly, but your gut still sticks out, then you probably have too much visceral fat.

so ur abs don't normally stick out a more at the bottom? and how do u get rid of visceral fat? wat is the point of visceral fat?

visceral fat protects your organs

Stupid wussy organs....

Like all other fat...diet and exercise.

Try doing stomach vacuums to strengthen your transverse ab muscles. It will tighten up the area so your stomach doesnt stick out.

Maybe, try doing it. I did it and my stomach doesnt stick farther than my chest anymore.

yea, that sounds good, plus my chest is flat like a 10 year old girl, cuz i've had failed diets and crap that were totally wrong and I haven't been able to workout for a few months now. I read the article on bb.com and it says do three sets with 20 secs reps, but how many reps do i do? is each set 1 rep?
