You may have decided recently to change your diet and work out at the gym more regularly to lose weight and improve your health. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you see great results. However, you are concerned about certain areas of the body that don’t seem to be shedding weight as effectively as other areas are.
These areas typically are the upper arms, belly, waist, hips, and thighs. After months of doing all the right things, including minimizing junk food and other processed stuff, why are there still areas of your body that don’t seem to be shrinking?
Here are four reasons why stubborn fat doesn’t seem to dissipate and how CoolSculpting may be the solution to your problem.
Excessive Dieting
Believe it or not, going on diets followed by bad eating spells may be the reason why you can’t seem to get rid of fat in certain areas. These crash diets throw off your body fat percentage because fat increases while muscle decreases. Sure, you may be eating right now, but will this be followed by periods of not eating right? Yo-yo dieting makes it harder and harder for those stubborn areas of fat to go away.
Eating Large Portions
Even if you have transitioned to eating healthier food, you still don’t seem to be losing weight. This may be because you are still eating substantial meals in one setting three times a day. Eating smaller meals frequently sounds counterintuitive, but it helps to shed fat better than having large meals at certain times of the day.
Going too Heavy on the Protein
It seems that everyone loads up on protein when exercising. From protein bars to protein shakes, people inundate their diet with protein, thinking that this will miraculously get rid of fat. Although protein is essential in weight loss, overdoing it can be counterproductive. Too much can lead to weight gain and increase the pockets of stubborn fat. Also, the wrong types of protein can be harmful for you too. Leaner proteins such as those in poultry or fish can be much healthier than fatty proteins.
Too Much Juice
Another item that people tend to gravitate to while exercising is fruit juice. After all, fruits and vegetables are essential to include in your diet. Fruit juice seems like a great option because it allows you to get your fruit intake in liquid form. Unfortunately, the excessive amount of sugar in fruit juice, even in natural fruit juice, is what is keeping those pockets of fat on your body.
How CoolSculpting Can Help Shed Stubborn Fat
Of course, ending the poor habits mentioned above may give you the results you are looking for with these stubborn fat areas. However, if you need results right away, these methods may not work fast enough. CoolSculpting is a way to shed fat in these trouble areas quickly.
If you want to get rid of stubborn fat, CoolSculpting speeds up the process by using a non-invasive, FDA-approved machine that freezes the fat. These stubborn areas include the thighs, belly, under the chin, upper arm, back, and underneath the buttocks. You will excrete the frozen, dead fat cells through the liver within a few weeks. By then, you will start to see little results. However, it can take anywhere from one to six months to see major results. Each target area will need one to three treatments, with each area needing at least two months of recovery time between treatments.
Have you decided that it is time to do something about that stubborn body fat that won’t budge no matter what you do? Then keep these four things in mind as you continue your dieting and exercise plan. But also consider CoolSculpting if you want to get rid of stubborn fat much more quickly.
