If you are looking to lose visceral fat, eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential.

Some of this advice will seem obvious - eat plenty of fruit, veg and whole grains and shun sugary items, such as sweets.

Some dietary decisions are less clear-cut, however, and seemingly healthy items can pose hidden health risks.

Fruit juice, for example, is a sugary beverage in disguise.

Fructose, a type of simple sugar, can drive insulin resistance and promote belly fat gain, research shows.

What's more, it's another source of liquid calories that's easy to consume too much of, yet still fails to satisfy your appetite in the same way as solid food, one study points out.

To curb visceral fat, you should swap out fruit juice for vegetable juice.

Although fruit juice has been linked to weight gain, drinking vegetable juice may have the opposite effect, research shows.

"Spot exercises, such as sit-ups, can tighten abdominal muscles but won't get at visceral fat," according to Harvard Health.

Exercise can also help keep fat from coming back.

In a study at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, dieting women lost an average of 24 pounds and reduced both visceral and subcutaneous fat (the fat you can pinch), with or without aerobic or strength-training exercise.

In the following year, those who maintained their exercise programs a modest 40 minutes twice a week maintained their visceral fat loss, while those who didn't exercise or abandoned their programs showed a 33 percent average increase in visceral fat.
