The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Usually on diets where you go from a carb heavy regimen to less carbs:
first you lose water weight as electrolytes start to balance due to the change in insulin levels
the body removes fat from organs as first priority (sometimes called visceral fat). The body does not want to store fat in organs, but it does so only if it can't put fat anywhere else. Once you start to lose weight it comes from here first.
then we are at generalized weight loss, which is different for everyone.
Source on carb count making a difference?
The body spends "easy" energy first (carbohydrates) and resort to burning fat when it really has to
Thats a myth, here are some videos by a guy with a PhD, any sort of calorie deficit will result in fat being burned, unless you manage to break the laws of physics and create energy from nothing.

Eating enough carbohydrates to cover your energy need isn't a deficit. I meant what I said, the body uses what it has available but prefers "easy" sources
i have no idea what are you talking about at this point, the question was if there is a way to target weight/fatloss, there isn't one.
That wasn't what I was talking about.
well thanks for your off topic contribution then I guess.
They were talking about going from carb heavy, to carb light, which is how most people cut calories. They aren't going "man I really ate too much steak yesterday!" They're thinking about that candy bar or that donut they had. Carbs are burned by your body first as you eat them because they're the easiest for your body to process.
They simply outlined the stages of what that type of dietary change usually looks like. Most useful information? Maybe not, but they aren't contributing nothing.
Op asked about targeting visceral fat, talking about random stuff doesnt contribute to that

Here's a good summary article, hover over any of the circles in the article to see the scientific sources
If you prefer just the data this is a better article

No source there for lowcarb lowering visceral fat first
Any fat loss should come from your organs first. The only reason fat is stored in your organs is because your body is unable to store it any other place.
I think OP asked for information not guesses

You're a very negative person, it's very difficult to have a conversation with you. You ask implicit questions, and then get angry when people answer the question to the best of their ability but wasn't what you intended.
Keto has no bearing on the loss on visceral other than it helps people lose fat. In any circumstance where your body has an opportunity to reduce fat, it comes out of the organs first. Because fat in the organs is extremely unhealthy.
Calorie deficit helps people lose fat has nothing to do with Keto, you can gain weight in Keto too
Yes agreed
