The device () for controlling the extent of intra-abdominal fat in the monitoring of an individual's slimming, comprises one electrical signal generator () connected to at least one first pole (), associable to the stomach surface, and a second pole (), associable to the abdominal wall. The poles () are connected to detection means () and means () for processing said electrical signals, adapted to provide a signal indicating the extent of intra-abdominal fat. The control procedure of the entity of the intra-abdominal fat in the monitoring of an individual's slimming, consists in detecting the impedance of the abdominal fat tissues, and hence, in calculating the extent of intra-abdominal fat is obtained.
