We all want to feel good about ourselves and we’re always looking for ways to make sure we can achieve our goals. There are many different body sculpting methods out there, from wraps to intrusive procedures, which can take you out of commission for days, weeks, or even months. There has to be a middle ground in there somewhere. Thanks to a lot of research and many painstaking hours of testing we have that middle ground and it is called lipo light body sculpting. In this article you will learn what lipo light body sculpting is and how it works, in a brief overview.

What is Lipo Light Body Sculpting?

Lipo light body sculpting is one of the most recent discoveries utilizing light to speed up the process your body naturally uses to burn fat. When combined with exercise, lipo light becomes a very effective way to lose inches off your body. Lipo light uses up to sixteen pads that are placed directly on the skin to achieve the best results. Treatment times are about forty minutes long and take place over a four week period. It is recommended that you receive these treatments twice a week over that time period and follow your treatments up with exercise to continue to show results. After the initial lipo light body sculpting treatment period it is necessary that you then choose one of two follow up treatment paths: The first is that you continue to receive maintenance treatments up to twice a week or move onto another part of the body to sculpt. You can also combine the lipo light treatment with the Zerona cold laser treatment to employ the unique benefits of both body contouring therapies.

How does Lipo Light Body Sculpting Work?

Lipo light body sculpting works by using light to target Chromophores. Chromophores are part of a molecule that has the ability to absorb certain types of visible light wavelengths. Some of those light wavelengths cause the fat cell to become permeable by changing the cells round shape. This light creates what is known as photobiomodulation. Photobiomodulation is becoming an applicable therapy for many different things in medical as well as veterinary fields because it causes cell stimulation to get clinical benefits. For lipo light body sculpting the cells that are targeted are the adipose cells which then release and break down the fatty acids and turn them into glycerol. Glycerol is what gives you energy which is why it’s important to exercise. The exercise will also help your blood circulate better therefore resulting in a better outcome from your therapy.

With the aid of lipo light body sculpting, exercise, and sticking to your treatment regimen you can achieve your body appearance goals. Be sure to stay hydrated during treatment periods and get your rest. You can find some more excellent information about lipo light here. With the help of lipo light you can look and feel your absolute best and you deserve that. Be sure to contact your local lipo light professional for more information and to find out if this is the right treatment for you and your lifestyle.

The Nu-Living HCG Diet is designed to provide speedy weight and metabolism correction that lasts. Through the use of an HCG injection phase and a very low calorie diet, patients have noticed daily results. While every situation is unique and there are many variables that affect the results, such as total caloric intake and exercise level, the Nu-Living HCG Diet has shown to be an overall highly effective weight and metabolism correction program. Individual weight loss results may vary depending on the specific very low calorie diet (VLCD) prescribed and on the patient’s adherence to the dietary instructions, but many patients experience day-to-day results during the HCG injection phase of the program (using a diet of 500-600 calories). This healthy and fit weight loss may occur for 3 to 6 weeks depending on the patient’s unique circumstances, along with current condition of health and specific body weight goals. Essentially, the weight loss occurring with the HCG diet depends on a patient’s starting point, caloric intake, exercise routine and level of compliance with the diet requirements. It is common for our patients to lose anywhere from 15-40 lbs. during the 6 weeks of the HCG injection phase. Guided by strict medical supervision of Dr.Terlinsky, it is not unusual for some people with an intake of 500-600 calories per day to experience noticable results in the first week alone!

How Does an HCG Injection Work?

By using a safe HCG injection in combination with enhanced nutrient fortification and a personally prescribed VLCD, the NU-Living HCG Diet promotes high maintenance of lean muscle tissue and the reduction of high-risk, excess body fat. Hunger can be significantly and noticeably reduced with maintained vivacity using this safe and scientifically valid program. Dr.Terlinsky has a passion for providing the very best health solutions for each and every patient he treats, and this is shown with his personalized approach to treatment with the HCG Diet and HCG injection. He consults with each patient to learn the personal and unique particularities of his/her situation in order to prescribe the healthiest, most effective Diet and HCG injection schedule possible. Particularly long-term results may be achieved with Nu-Living’s modified HCG diet. This consists of a high protein VLCD in the range of 800-1000 calories per day which can produce a vigorous weight loss each week during the HCG injection phase of the program. This less strenuous VLCD in the 800-1000 calorie daily range may provide weekly weight loss and is also the most popular choice of our HCG injection patients. Dr.Terlinsky presents a spectrum of VLCD diet choices during the first office visit for his patients to use with the HCG injection. This helps ensure that each and every patient is prescribed the correct program plan that works the best for his/her individual situation, maximizing results.

Because of the many factors involved in the prescription and selection of the correct HCG injection schedule and VLCD plan, Dr.Terlinsky believes that the best way to get started with the Nu-Living HCG Diet is to have a short phone conversation to briefly discuss the patient’s current health status. This will help define the appropriate program and diet in order to provide the optimal results for each patient.

On the Plane

Most airlines have stopped offering meals on flights, unless you’re flying for an extended period of time. The good news is that you can take control and bring healthy food with you. The best food choices are portable snacks (such as fresh fruit, granola bars, whole grain crackers). Raw nuts, healthy trail mixes, and seeds are also great for travel; however, watch the labels as many of the packaged nuts and mixes in the airport are loaded with unhealthy ingredients and trans-fat. Opt to purchase them at a grocery store or co-op before you get to the airport.

It is vital to stay hydrated during your flight. Avoid excessively salty foods and alcohol, and making sure you drink at least one quart of water during your flight.

In the Car

It is much harder to eat healthy while on a road trip. The desire to get there causes many people to make bad food choices (such as fast food and junk food from convenience stores). Instead, pack a variety of nutritious foods in a cooler filled with ice packs. Fruits and raw vegetables, sandwiches, crackers, yogurt and granola bars are quick and healthy solutions for the road. Stay away from sugary snacks, and pack plenty bottles of water so you don’t become dehydrated and tired while driving.

Because it is important to take a break from driving every few hours to stretch, you should always stop at a rest area to eat. If you absolutely cannot avoid stopping at a fast food drive-thru, there are still some healthier choices you can make. For example, if you order a hamburger, skip the cheese and condiments. Whenever possible, choose grilled meats instead of fried, and eat salads with low-fat dressings.

In Your Hotel

Because vacation is a time to relax and kick back, many people fall into the trap of the convenience of room service and a mini bar. However, choosing food from either of these two places can wreak havoc on your body. To avoid temptation, do not accept the mini bar key when you check into your hotel. If you decide to order room service, try to pick healthier options such as salads with low-fat dressing or grilled meats with vegetables.

If your hotel offers a continental breakfast, try to stay away from the donuts and sweet rolls. Instead, you should choose fruits, whole-grain cereals and low-fat muffins. Eggs are a great source of protein, but skip the cheese and hash browns on the side. As with room service, if you are skeptical about what you are about to eat, ask the hotel manager for nutritional content information.

If you find out ahead of time that your hotel has a microwave and refrigerator, bring some of your own food (that way, you already know the nutritional content). In case your room doesn’t have a microwave, the in-room coffee maker can also double as a water heater when making meals such as oatmeal. If you bring food from home, it will reduce the number of meals you eat out or order from room service.

Out and About

Perhaps the hardest time to eat healthy on vacation is when you are out and about, visiting attractions and exploring the area. While on vacation, convenience plays a major role in the food choices you make. It is a lot easier, and cheaper, to grab a burger and fries at an amusement park than it is to have a salad. However, making healthy choices can keep you more energized to thoroughly enjoy your much-deserved vacation.

Consider finding a grocery store when you get to your destination and stocking up on healthy, portable snacks that you can carry with you while you’re exploring your surroundings. If you must eat food from a convenience stop, consider a grilled chicken sandwich or baked chips rather than greasy fries. You don’t have to deprive yourself, but save your indulgence for the treat you really love the most — and savor every bite. Make indulging a special treat rather than the norm on your vacation.

People struggling with weight loss have sabotaging thoughts, which make it nearly impossible to successfully lose weight. Behind all habitual behaviors are established thoughts and belief systems, which in the case of the overweight and obese, are often incorrect and maladaptive. A therapeutic diet counters these false beliefs by using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. A therepeutic diet, therefore, is one that is designed to change behaviors by restructuring thoughts and eliminating faulty belief systems.

Our “toolbox” of medication for obesity as been empty since several previously FDA approved drugs were removed from the market. Sibutramine was removed becasue of controversial information suggesting Sibutramine caused heart attacks. Nevertheless, we now have two new agents, Qsymia and Locaserin, approved as well as Contrave (yet to be approved) which are expanding options to treat obesity. Full discusssion to follow.
