Maybe we imagine that cutting and removing fat from troubled areas would solve all problems. We would be skinny or at least comfortable in our skin.

Sorry, guys and girls, but it is no fun here

I am so sorry to disappoint you; liposuction does not work for an extended period.  People gain weight after an operation pretty soon. They are getting the fat back in different places in the body. It is a fact, a hard and harsh truth, presented in Sylvia TaraPh. D.’s book The Secret Life of Fat.

In this particular book,  you can find out how to conquer your fears and outsmart fat. Most importantly, everybody can do it. Sorry, no magic pills here. Maybe wizards could help, but  I did not find any way to ask them. If I know something, I will be the first who will tell you. Promise.

Why does liposuction not work?

Scientists performed studies where two groups of women had followed. One group got liposuction in the lower abdomen’s hips, thighs, and subcutaneous fat. The second group of women did not receive any treatment at all.

After one year, the weight difference between the two groups of women vanished. Interestingly, the fat in the women’s group who had liposuction moved to different areas. How did it happen? Fat is relocated to the place where internal organs are. The fat started to press on internal organs. It was not so much fun, especially after hoping that everything would be different. I do not talk about the pain and inconvenience endured during the procedure.

How about programs and various pills?

A few decades ago, my girlfriend wanted to lose weight. I do not know why she had chosen this way, but it worked for her. She took furosemide pills. She visited the bathroom more times than usual, but she got results. She was a teenager. Nobody told her what kind of consequences could be after such drastic behavior. Furosemide helps remove water efficiently, but with water, in this case,  people can lose vital nutrients. She did not know it.

Exercising and proper nutrition under the supervision of an intelligent health practitioner can make a difference in people’s lives. Remember Randy from the story about fat and chicken? He successfully lost weight and kept it in check. Sylvia Tara, Ph., in her book The Secret Life of Fat, describes her journey toward victory against fat.

Why does liposuction not work?

Exercise is the answer for everybody who wants to get rid of unwanted pounds. Scientists found out that activities influenced women who had liposuction. Two groups who had liposuction were followed and examined. One group, after liposuction, returned to their lives without any changes. The second group gave a workout plan for four months.

Results were impressive after six months. The first group, which did not exercise, gained fat under the stomach wall. The metabolism slowed, and less energy was expended in the first group of women.

The second group, which exercised, had increased lean mass, such as muscles and bones. The fat loss remained steady and did not come back.

I know it is not easy. It is the same as everything when we want to get something fast and for free or without work. Nope, you will not get it. Why does liposuction not work? I found the answer from the research of scientists. Maybe you have a different experience with this topic?
