Visceral Fat & Metabolic
Visceral fat is the fat around your organs, and it does not come off the same way the fat you can pinch does.
The one protocol here aimed at a fat depot rather than a number on the scale.

Subcutaneous fat is the fat under the skin — the fat you can pinch. Visceral fat sits deeper, packed around the liver, pancreas and intestines. It is metabolically active in ways subcutaneous fat is not, and it is the depot most strongly associated with metabolic disease.
It also responds differently. People who lose weight can still carry a substantial visceral load, and the scale will not tell you.
Why Tesamorelin
It is the compound with clinical trial data specifically against visceral adipose tissue, rather than weight in general. That specificity is unusual and it is the reason this protocol exists as its own thing rather than as a variation on a fat-loss stack.
MOTS-c is here for the metabolic side — insulin sensitivity rather than fat mass.
What the research supports
Tesamorelin's visceral fat data comes from a specific clinical population, and generalising it to healthy people is an inference, not a finding. That caveat matters more here than in most protocols because the compound's reputation rests on that trial data.
Practical notes
Daily dosing, at night, on an empty stomach. Twelve weeks is the trial length. Waist circumference tracks this better than body weight.
