Gaining

Dairy products and exercise. Fat from dairy products tends to go toward subcutaneous fat and exercise tends to burn visceral fat first so you can trade it in for subcutaneous fat, so to speak. There's several other factors at play like genetics too, but those will get you in the general direction.

Kind of. Genetics and hormones seem to be the biggest factors. Reduce stress as much as possible, as cortisol seems to preference visceral fat gain.

However, as others have said, dietary factors seem to have minor influence. Dairy fat seems to favor subcutaneous fat gain, while fructose seems to favor visceral fat.

This is true. I also want to add that drinking heavy cream (or any dairy product) does not convert visceral fat to subcutaneous fat like some people in the forum think. Only exercise can do that. Drinking things with a high fat content will not burn fat. That's like adding water to a wet blanket to dry it off.

Visceral fat does not shift to subcutaneous fat. The only way to reduce it is to exercise it off. The good news is that visceral fat burns off before subcutaneous fat will.

Also, if you gain weight, it will increase both your visceral and subcutaneous fat.

Also, while certain kinds of food may promote visceral or subcutaneous, those aren't the only factors. Genetics and hormones also play a factor as well. While you can'tbdo anything about genes, there's a little bit you can do about about the hormone aspect.

Cortisol, the stress hormone, causes visceral fat gains. If you can work on stress management, it will help keep the visceral fat gains in check.
