Liposuction, the surgical technique was born around the 70s, taking out through the syringe, the fat that lies under the skin. The operation, performed in day hospital and local anesthetic (sometimes even if very painful total) removes several kilograms of fat in areas where the patient wishes to lose weight, in addition to the syringe used some recently discovered that the technology offers us as ultrasound, water jets and vibrations to dissolve even more excess fat.

Unfortunately one of those myths that everyone believes is absolutely true but in reality have little real: liposuction and liposculpture are not the real cure for cellulite. It is true that after a speech like that, you lose weight (usually 3 pounds) whole way this fall is soon restored by the post-operative swelling, swelling and even after it is absorbed if you do not change the eating habits’ operation will be useless.

It has only a secondary effect on cellulite and the visibility of the results could be very small (varies from patient to patient). So take this for what it actually is: a reshaping of your body that only combined with a diet can make actual real satisfaction. More recently this treatment is becoming increasingly dangerous, as well as costly (between 3000 and 8000 euros) because the risks inherent in this posting there are and should not be underestimated.

For example, it could happen to suck too much fat, or to infiltrate a large amount of anesthetic, or a lack of monitoring in the post operation. So we need a serious thought before you undergo this practice potentially dangerous: danger that increases in cases of multiple procedures, combining liposuction to further action, possibly longer.

Cellulite is a special kind of aesthetic problem caused by the deposition of fat, generally concentrated in the hips and thighs, especially in women. Have you ever heard of orange peel? Well, it is in those holes and those forms that this problem occurs, causing swelling and protrusions often nothing short of ugly.

Many have spoken of cellulite: it starts from opinions of experts (ie physicians and specialists) to the opinions of less experienced (women and / or girls that decide to give a testimony on their experience in this field). Some contend that cellulite is present exclusively in the fat women: this is not true. In fact happen to see some girls on the beach skinny (or definitely not overweight) and noted in their legs or their critical points of the classic holes. Not only women but are suffering from the disorder: even men will be affected, albeit considerably less than they.

To fight cellulite you can use different methods: constant physical activity, a diet with reduced intake of fat (less sugar, salt, meat and dairy, more fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes and 6-8 glasses per day water), massage and brushing to stimulate the lymphatic system and help remove toxins, specific essential oils for aromatherapy, creams and lotions targeted, as well as liposuction and liposculpture surgical treatments through which the fat is sucked from the skin. But sometimes this may be dangerous, as we learn from the growing number of news items.

What determines the presence of cellulite?

According to various recent studies and now seems certain that cellulite is caused by the accumulation of toxins in fatty tissue and water. The lymphatic system is responsible to eliminate of waste products (toxins) from the tissues, however, if for any reason the sap slows its movement, as a result of the removal of toxins will be insufficient.

Unlike the blood circulation, lymph circulation is not driven by a pump (in the case of blood, heart) and blood to go in the body originates from muscle contractions. Therefore, it is believed that lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle make slower lymphatic circulation, making it easier to accumulation of water and toxins almost certainly responsible for the accumulation of cellulite.

They can, moreover, interfere with lymph circulation the wrong positions, the fitting garments, the habit of crossing the legs and the use of high heels. Although estrogens (hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle) can help water retention, such as premenstrual syndrome, and adds to the causes that determine the presence of cellulite. The growing number of women taking contraceptive pills (and estrogen) is considered a major artist in the increasing prevalence of cellulites in recent years.

Recent research in the U.S. has also shown that cellulite is a greater number of cells that attract water and can therefore lead to increased water retention. Even the habit (mainly women and adolescents) to put on a diet can often cause loss of skin elasticity, contributing to the formation of cellulite in very young age. So do not lose enough weight to eliminate it, because if everything is not combined with proper exercise, you get very often the opposite effect!

Lose weight , a large part of the world has ever tried. To everyone’s surprise show waste really not that difficult. Just a lot less food and you’ll lose weight naturally. But how is it that many people who successfully lose weight a few months later to their old weight (or even more)?

Weight loss and weight maintenance
Diets are often associated with the yo-yo effect. Yo-yo and is losing weight and then (for no apparent reason) coming back. The yo-yo is more common as you more, longer and stricter diet. The yo-yo has a negative impact on both the physical health on the mental state. Weight maintenance is therefore more important than weight loss. Here are some tips for weight maintenance and advice to the yo-yo counter.

Yo-yo effect prevention – Tip 1: Do not look at the scales

You say you are overweight, so there must be some pounds off. Unfortunately it does not. Your weight is no indication your body composition. The relationship between fat, muscle and moisture is more important, for example, a muscular person with heavy bones and healthy moisture relatively heavy, but a perfectly healthy weight. And conversely: a light, slim person is predominantly a hefty fat accumulation around the abdomen and waist, and thus an unhealthy weight. Please check preferred for obvious cause rolls of fat, your fat, your waist circumference and your overall posture and not to the numbers on your scale.

Yo-yo effect prevention – Tip 2: Do not crash diet

The body takes on your diet. If you have less to eat, then slows your metabolism and fat burning. The body is absolutely no doubt that there are no shortages. As long as you eat very little, you will not much of your metabolism slower and slower fat burning brands. But when you get to eat some more, then the body will also further build up reserves (hoarding) to the next period of scarcity (diets) to be covered. After a strict diet you will be turned on. Never follow a crash diet, but always build your calorie intake very slowly. Starvation is counterproductive, so take adequate and varied diet to you.

Yo-yo effect prevention – Tip 3: Sport and Movement

Muscle is your best friend if you want to lose weight. Muscles burn calories because, without them you have to do something. If you are a reckless manner (strict) diet goes, then your body muscles “eat” (eg by protein deficiency). This fall you are less easily. You can therefore better to lose weight by exercise. Exercise burns calories and body fat and also your physical move will build more muscle on, so you burn more calories at rest position.

An old rule called the 421 LPG determines the distribution of calorie intake for the day as follows: 4 carb diets for 2 portions of protein and 1 portion of fat which gives clear approximately 60% carbohydrates, 25% for protein and 15% for lipids.

Apply this rule would be virtually impossible daily (need to weigh everything you eat and know the exact composition) and quickly transform a meal into a problem of arithmetic! … But the key lies elsewhere: Just remember the principle.

Carbohydrate / sugar fast

Simply put, there are two categories of sugars:
* slow sugars or complex: it is all foods from cereals (rice, pasta, bread, but also potatoes and pulses) that slowly raise the rate of blood sugar (glucose).

Advantage: These foods should be consumed at almost every meal in order to replenish the glycogen (muscle fuel is also stored in the liver), used to hold long efforts.

*the quick or simple sugars: these are the very foods taste sweet: cakes, candy, sodas, sugar cubes (sucrose), etc. … these are foods that quickly raise blood sugar.

Advantage: consumed in an effort throughout the short, fast sugars can obtain an effect “boost” that minimizes fatigue temporarily.

Disadvantages: avoid eating these foods before exercise or face a reactive hypoglycaemia (the elevation of blood sugar is balanced by a sudden drop).
On the other hand, consumed in excess of these sugars have a tendency to become fat.
