Is it possible to dissolve fat without diet or
exercise? If so, it would be every bride's dream come true. For
instance, take my wedding dress. I started out 'skinny', but I gained
so much weight from one of my medications that I nearly got too fat
to fit in it. :( That would have been really sad, especially since I
got such a sweet deal on it; my entire ensemble, dress, alterations,
underwear and all cost less than $500! If you've looked through
bridal magazines and heard about people spending more on their
weddings than it would take to feed a small country, you know that
that's *very* reasonable.
But I digress. Is it possible to dissolve fat? Can
a cream, injection or treatment *really* get rid of cellulite? Even
if it can, is it safe? Is it more trouble than it's worth? The last
question is one only you can answer, but hopefully I can help you to
make the right decision.
There are a lot of pills out there that claim to
aid in the loss of fat. Lipozene and acai berry supplements are some
of the more common ones. The problem with a lot of these products is
that they have not been fully evaluated by the Food and Drug
Administration. As a result, there's really no guarantee of any of
the results the ads promise. What's more, the compounds and
procedures may even be dangerous, especially for those with certain medical conditions. Contrary to popular opinion,
'natural' or 'herbal' does not necessarily equal 'safe'. I'm not sure
about the acai berry supplements, but I can tell you that the
Lipozene commercials will flat-out say that you don't have to change
your daily life. In the fine print on the bottom of the screen you
will see, 'Diet and exercise recommended', but the idea of an 'easy
way out' is usually much more distracting.
As for injections or treatments, check out this
video.
Here are a few articles that describe the type of
treatments mentioned above.
As the video mentions, any lipo-dissolving
injections need to be given by a qualified plastic surgeon, not
someone in a spa who may have had no training at all. This way, even
if a procedure hasn't been vetted by the FDA, you have a medical
professional who can help you decide if it's a good idea. There
is always going to be a risk when dealing with surgical (or
surgical-esque) procedures. If you decide to go for any of these,
make sure your doctor goes over these risks with you.
Hopefully I've given you a few things to think
about when it comes to fat-reducing or fat-dissolving treatments. As
always, check with your doctor before making a decision.
