Recently several people asked me if liposuction is a a good method for weight loss.
The answer is NO. Not only is it less efficient with obese people, but also the results would probably be far from perfect, and there is higher risk for the considerably overweight people. The ideal candidates for liposuction are people who have attained their proper body weight, but they still have one or more tough areas that cannot be dealt with further weight loss or exercise. After a consultation examination, doctors usually prescribe a diet program for overweight patients as a means of preparation for liposuction procedure.

So many people nowadays claim that you could lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time. But is it achievable?

Yes it certainly is. Most probably not very healthy and a most part of the weight lost isn’t only fat loss but also water weight loss and muscle tissue loss. Result:

when you lose weight with some traditional methods of dieting you lose a lot of muscle an expose yourself to the risk of looking skinny. Additionally such diets often leave you feel fatigued.

You will not going to be exposed to such risks. Instead, you will be told how to really make your body burn the fat and turn your body into a sort of fat burning machine! The method is very efficient and will prevent you from losing your lean muscle tissue. Forget about all the low carbohydrate, and low fat diets.

My method is called carbohydrate cycling, and it’s currently one of the most efficient ways to lose your weight. It has been well kept secret of the bodybuilders who used this method to get lean for competitions, but now it’s no longer a secret.

In other words your eating habbiths should slightly change. There should be three consecutive days of low carb dieting and on the fourth day you eat a high carb diet. Example: 1st day - 60 to 80 grams of carbohydrates > 2nd day - 80 to 100 grams of carbos > 3rd day - 100 to 120 grams of carbos > 4th day - 250+ grams of carbos. As clearly seen you’re eating a low carb diet in the first 3 days, gradually increasing the number of carbs each day, and on the fourth day (high carb) you’re drastically increasing the amount of carbs that you eat, on the fourth day you can eat as many healthy carbs as you want. Eat healthy starchy and fibrous carbs like: Oats, barley, brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole wheat bread, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage.

What about other elements like proteins? You should eat 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, that is, if you weight 180 pounds, you should consume 160-180 grams of protein a day. Eat around 6 meals per day, include protein in every meal. Also, in the three low carb days, eat 500-600 calories below your maintenance level, include essential fatty acids to your diet. On the high carb day you should eat 300-400 calories above your maintenance level.

Add some activities like running, cycling or whatever else you like, try to do it at least 3 times a week, 20-30 minutes on moderate to high intensity. This will really enhance your fat loss. Stick to the consistent diet adding some movement into your life and the sky is a limit.
