Visceral fat is the stuff that surrounds your organs, deep to your abdominal muscles. With inactivity, this fat can build up at a rate of 4 pounds per year. It increases your risk of developing diabetes and heart disease.
In these photos, Jack Nicholson appears to a have a good deal of visceral fat. Exercise alone has been shown to reduce this fat, but diet can also help. Liposuction doesn't touch it.
