I just found a study that seems to show that when compared in rats, I know I am not a rat either, There is a significant difference in lifespan between eating less on a calorie reduced diet and losing belly fat by simply having it removed.
As compared to the first group, the calorically restricted rats lived 40 percent longer, and the rats that had some of their abdominal fat removed lived 20 percent longer.
“So this suggests that the fat tissue itself is an important component of what happens in caloric restriction,” says Barzilai. Additionally, the rats whose abdominal fat was removed experienced a significant reduction in the occurrence of severe renal disease.
Barzilai’s previous studies in rats showed that surgical removal of abdominal fat improved their health, but removing the fat under their skin by liposuction did not.
