Look Perfect This New Year

Every year, we decide to jot down a few resolutions to help transform our lives. From promising to be nicer, to setting a target weight, there are a number of resolutions we wish to keep every single year. If 2017 is the year you’re finally going to find out how to lose your belly fat, then here are a few tips to help you get a head start:

1. Drink More Water
If you already eat healthy, but you’re still struggling with trying to figure out how to lose tummy fat, then the answer could be insufficient water. Most of us lead sedentary lifestyles, and we forget that we need to drink anywhere between 2 to 4 litres of water every day. Water gives us a sense of feeling full, so we tend to snack less, and also hydrates our skin, helping us look younger.
2. Sleep Early
Many of us get to bed by around 9:30 p.m., but we end up browsing on our phones or tablets till past midnight before falling asleep. A good night’s rest is essential in helping us reach our weight loss goals. Avoid using your phone or watching TV for a couple of hours before getting into bed. These electronic devices are extremely stimulating, and generally interrupt a good night’s sleep.
3. Snack Healthy
When you’re trying to lose weight, it’s extremely unhealthy to skip meals, or cut down on one food group altogether. A new fad is the zero-calorie diet, which isn’t very helpful, because our bodies need fat, and healthy fats help us burn excess fat. To follow a healthy diet, you need to eat three meals and two snacks per day, or five small meals every day. For a healthy snack, you can have an apple with peanut butter; and for a healthy meal, swap out white rice for brown rice, and instead of cooking vegetables in oil, try steamed vegetables instead.
4. Exercise is a Must
As much as we’d love to lose weight just by eating healthy, it isn’t enough. Running and other forms or cardio in combination with weight training are important in helping us achieve the figure we desire. When you lift weights, the calories in your body are used, so they aren’t just stored as excess fat. The more weights your lift, the more calories you will burn as fuel, and you’ll be well on your way to achieving your target weight and body.
5. U-Lipo
If you work long hours, and find it difficult to cook healthy food, or buy a salad every day, then you may think liposuction on your stomach is the only option left. But that isn’t true. Our U-Lipo treatment is non-invasive, pain free, and completely safe, and will help break down fat cells in targeted areas on your body. It’s like getting a tummy tuck without surgery, and all you need to do is to step into one of our clinics for just an hour every week.
No matter what your reasons for losing weight, it’s important to do everything in moderation. Excessive exercise can damage your body, while skipping meals can send your body into starvation, and you’ll end up putting on weight instead of losing it. If you don’t have time, you can always book a U-Lipo appointment at any one of our centres across Mumbai, and you’ll be looking absolutely fabulous by the time 2017 rolls around.

3 Ways to Get Rid of Your Upper Back Fat: Tips by Dr. Puneet

With new fads like face-contouring and body-contouring, it’s quite obvious that a lot of emphasis is being laid on outward appearances in today’s world. Men and women alike are under constant pressure to always look slim and trim. And while some people find losing weight easy, others struggle, despite following strict diets and stringent exercise regimes. One particular issue that people seem to have with their bodies is upper back fat. While both men and women suffer from this problem, women have more of an issue with it, as back fat generally leads to what is known as the “bra bulge”.
 The Bra Bulge
The fatty deposits on the upper back area bulge out around women’s bras, making them self conscious when they wear fitted clothes, or strapless tops and dresses. Before you decide that you’re too fat, or too curvy, it’s a good idea to get your bra size checked. Studies show that 85% of women wear bras that aren’t right for their body or shape. A bra that is too tight, will push excess skin and fat out of the way, and cause some amount of bra bulge. If changing your bra doesn’t solve the problem, then there are a few other things you can do to get rid of the fatty tissues here. While regular exercise and a clean and healthy diet may help men and women lose weight overall, there are very limited things they can do to target the bulges on their back. This had led to several women opting for bra bulge liposuction to get rid of the unsightly bumps, but this process is invasive, and isn’t always safe.
 Losing the Back Fat
If you too are struggling to figure out how to lose upper back fat, then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve come up with a guide that will show you how to lose back fat for women and men. Here are my top 3 ways to get rid of those back bulges:
 1) Exercise: While you might already be hitting the gym every day and following an intensive workout routine, there are a few exercises in particular that can really help tone the fat on your back. If you’re ready to change your focus at the gym, then try these exercises to reduce back fat:
  • Pull-Ups: Definitely one of the harder exercises, a pull-up engages and sculpts all the muscles on your back. For maximum results, you should grip the bar with your palms facing out, as this engages your lat muscle and back far more than the easier version of the pull-up, where your palms face inwards. If you’re a bit worried about managing a pull-up on your own, you can always use the assisted pull-up machine that should be available in your gym. While it looks a bit big and scary, it is actually quite useful, and can help you out until you master the exercise on your own.
  • Rowing: The basic rowing movement perfectly targets your back muscles, making it a great exercise if your main focus is getting rid of your back fat. If your gym doesn’t have a rowing machine, or if you find it boring, you can always switch up the exercise and try a Dumbbell Row instead. This exercise only requires a light dumbbell and a bench or low table, so you can even do it at home. Place one knee on the bench, and bend forward until your back is flat. If your left knee is on the bench, then hold the dumbbell in your right hand, and contract your upper back muscles to pull the arm with the dumbbell back in a straight line. You should mimic a rowing motion, and your elbow should skim the side of your body each time. You can start with 10 repetitions on each side, and slowly increase them as you continue working out.
  • Push-Ups: This basic chest exercise also engages your back muscles while you lower your body to the ground. For maximum impact on the back area, hold your position at the bottom for a minimum of 3 seconds before pushing yourself back up into the starting push-up position.
  • Skipping: Although skipping with a jump rope feels like a lot of shoulder exercise, the fact is that it also helps tone your back. Skipping in general is a great exercise and a fabulous cardio workout, so it’s great if you incorporate skipping into your everyday routine.
 2) Yoga: Although not as intense as a gym workout, yoga is just as efficient in toning your muscles, and can even help you get rid of back fat. Poses like the side plank, the bow, and the locust work best for upper back fat.
Side Plank: Start in a downward dog position, and move your feet together so that your big toes are touching. Move your right hand to centre of the top of your mat. Roll onto your right side, so you are balancing on the outside edge of your flexed right foot, while extending your left arm straight up, towards the ceiling. Hold the pose for 5 breaths, before repeating the process on the left side.
Bow: Start by lying face down on your mat. Bend your knees, raise your legs upwards. One hand at a time, reach behind you to grab your ankles from the outside. When you have a good grip on both ankles, lift your thighs as high as you can, while also lifting your upper body off the mat. You should be resting not on your pubic bone, but on your navel. Hold this pose for five breaths before relaxing.
Locust: Lie face down on your mat, arms beside you, and your palms facing the ceiling. Breathe in, and lift your legs, upper body, and head off the mat. Support yourself with your hand, which should be placed firmly on the mat. Breathe out, and relax your shoulder muscles, trying to lengthen your spine by moving your head away from your feet. Stay in this pose for five breaths.
 3) Non Surgical Lipolysis: I understand that as a professional it might not always be easy to find the time to exercise regularly and follow a strict diet, or shell out money for a surgical procedure like liposuction. If you’re one of these people, you can opt for a Non Surgical Body Shaping & Body Contouring Programs. It offers you the best of both worlds. Cost-effective and hardly time consuming, a Non Surgical weight loss treatment could be your golden ticket to figuring out how to reduce back fat.
 At Prettislim, our revolutionary U-Lipo treatment will break down the adipose tissues in your upper back area, and will help you expel the bra bulge. Our treatment is safe, non-invasive and absolutely pain-free. What’s more, you can see the results from the first session itself, and if you follow the diet we prescribe for you, you’ll be rid of that back fat in no time!
 Whether you opt to exercise regularly, practice yoga, or come to Prettislim for a U-Lipo Upper Back Tuck, it’s important to remember that it might take a little time before you see the results you’re hoping for. Always remember that slow progress is better than no progress, and if you stick to your commitment, you’ll soon have the body you desire.

How to Firm Up Saggy Breasts

Are drooping breasts getting you down? Unfortunately for us, our bodies can’t stay young forever. Staying toned gets harder as the years pass, and there’s no stopping the natural ageing process of our bodies. Breastfeeding can also cause your chest to lose their youthful form. However, with the right care and attention we can slow this process down and help our bodies look younger for longer. If you’re wondering how to tighten sagging breasts, we’ve got a few tips for you.

Prevention is better than cure
With the proper care, you can delay the sagging of your breasts by at least a few years. Ensure your breasts are well supported at all times. Wear a snug sports bra while working out. If you have a larger bust, try to find one with a sturdy strap and an underwire. Make sure your everyday bras fit well too, and replace them once they begin to lose their elasticity.
If possible, try to avoid weight fluctuations and yo-yo dieting as this can cause your breasts to lose suppleness.
Get in some exercise
Incorporate exercises that target the muscles and connective tissue of the breasts into your workout regimen. Here are a couple you can try out, with the consultation of your physical trainer or a medical professional, of course.
  • Chest Press – Lie on your back on the floor with dumbbells in your hands. Your hands should rest right above your chest. Then raise your arms straight upwards till they are fully outstretched. Hold this position for 10 counts and then lower your arms to the starting position. Repeat this 10 times.
  • Arm Raise – Raise your arms above your head and touch your palms together. Then stretch your arms upwards as far as you can. Hold this position for 20 counts before slowly lowering your arms to your sides. Do this 15 times for one rep.
Eat Right
It’s also extremely important to eat right and ensure your body is getting the nutrients it needs to stay in form. Maintain a healthy balanced diet that provides you with your daily dose of protein, carbohydrates, essential fats, vitamins and minerals.
Breast lift without surgery
If exercise doesn’t really work for you, you may consider a boob lift or a mastopexy as your last resort, but it isn’t always safe. This procedure doesn’t alter the size of your boobs, but will surgically lift the breast tissue, skin and ligaments. If you’re wondering how to tighten breasts the safe way, Prettislim’s U-Lipo is the solution for you. It’s the smart non-surgical alternative to traditional breast lifts. It uses Vacuum Suction, Ultrasound Lipolysis, Power Vibra and NARF technology to gently and painlessly tone your body in just a few short sittings.
Whether you choose exercise and diet change or a non-surgical breast lift to firm up your bust, we hope you find the results and the confidence you’re looking for! Our range of treatments and constant support will help you lose unwanted fat without any harmful side effects.

Reduce Tummy Fat with These Home Hacks

A toned tummy can be considered one of the hallmarks of a healthy body. However, getting rid of abdominal fat and that belly bulge can be difficult. Belly fat is not only unsightly; it also raises the chance of developing health issues like diabetes, blood pressure, and dementia at an early age. There are many causes of tummy fat, like a dip in physical activity, stress, unhealthy eating habits, menopause, a slow metabolic rate, improper digestion and genetics.
But do not despair. There are many ways to rid yourself of that belly fat, and with these home hacks, it can even be easy. A tummy tuck without surgery is easier than you think. Combinations of exercise and home remedies are geared toward giving you that perfectly toned tummy.
When it comes to reducing fat, eating can actually be really helpful. Here are a few foods that will help get rid of your belly fat – all without the hassle of a surgical tummy tuck!
Almonds Go a Long Way
Eat a few almonds every day. They make a good nibble and are loaded with magnesium, protein, fibre and vitamin E. They also have mono-unsaturated fats that aid in decreasing your body mass index.
Beans for the Belly
Beans have the right amount of protein and fibre. With a fat-free quality, beans are ideal for reducing fat. Try eating navy beans, kidney beans, white beans and lima beans for the best results.
Cool as a Cucumber
Squeeze a lemon over a cucumber and eat that as a snack. Cucumbers are rich in silicon and sulphur, which are instrumental in shedding weight. Cucumbers also minimise water weight, especially around your abdomen.
The Best for Breakfast
Eat breakfast cereals for a healthy start to the day. Rye, oats, buckwheat and grains are wholesome. For taste, you can add berries or honey to your cereal. Calcium intake in the mornings aids a flat tummy.
While changing your eating habits will definitely help, it’s also important to do some kind of physical activity. To target the weight around your belly, you can try these simple tummy tuck exercises.
Body Twist
This exercise will exercise not just your abdomen, but also your legs, hips and arms.
  • Start by standing with your legs a little wider than shoulder width apart
  • Keep your arms down by your side
  • Let your right toe touch the ground as you twist your body towards the left
  • Extend your left arm above your body as you turn
  • Swing your left arm across your body
  • Bend your left leg slightly, but keep your left toe on the ground
  • Bend your right leg and twist your torso
  • Bring your left hand down a few inches outside your right foot
  • Repeat on the other side
Weighted Sit Ups
This version of sit ups will exercise your legs, shoulders, and of course your core.
  • Lie on a mat
  • Bend your knees and keep your feet on the ground
  • Hold a 5 pound dumbbell in each hand
  • Bend your arms so your hands are near your chest
  • Now, lift your knees until they are directly above your hip
  • Your feet should be vertical to the ground
  • Without straining your neck, lift your torso off the ground
  • Extend your right arm to the outside of your left knee
  • Lower your torso back to the ground
  • Repeat, twisting to the other side
The Plank
One of the most well-known abdominal exercises, the plank will help you get rid of any excess fat around your belly.
  • Get down on your elbows and knees on a mat
  • Slowly straighten your legs
  • Your legs should be hip-distance apart
  • Your weight should now be on your elbows and the balls of your feet
  • Ensure your back is not arched and your body is parallel to the floor
  • Hold the position for 45 seconds
As you continue to do the plank, you can increase the time from 45 seconds to a minute, and even longer. Repeating all the above exercise patterns will help you tone your body, and get you the flat tummy you desire.
In your pursuit of that ideal tummy, do a comprehensive review of your diet and stick to the foods that are most nutritive. Eat small meals regularly throughout the day and certainly do not starve yourself. Drink at least two litres of water a day. Aim for eight hours of sleep every night. Exercise regularly but do not strain yourself beyond a limit. Get that toned tummy in a natural and healthy way to pave the path towards a fitter and happier you.

PRETTISLIM CLINIC RANKED AS NO.1 SLIMMING CLINIC IN MUMBAI

Prettislim has been ranked as the No.1 Bariatric and Slimming Clinic in Mumbai. This ranking comes after an extensive All India Lifestyle Hospital & Clinic Survey which was conducted by Times of India in collaboration with i3 Research Consultants. The objective of this research was to arrive at a list of top lifestyle hospitals and clinics in India (for elective procedures or treatments). The study had two major modules i.e. Perceptual Rating Survey & Factual Survey preceded by desk research to create and identify the broad list. In the perceptual module, a structured questionnaire was administered among selected respondents to arrive at a ranking & rating of lifestyle hospitals & clinics in respective therapeutic areas viz Diabetology, Orthopedics, Bariatrics, Trichology, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Dentistry and Ophthalmology. This exhaustive research experiment was conducted by surveying around 600 lifestyle clinics and hospitals. The research itself included a number of modules and steps that were carried out in a well thought out sequence.
The basic research methodology began with a perceptual survey, wherein respondents who were familiar with certain clinics were required to rate the clinics from 1-10, 1 being poor, and 10 being excellent. The questions they answered covered a number of parameters including value for money, infrastructure, quality of the treatment, convenience and more. The questionnaire was designed as such that experts, and past as well as current users of the respective therapeutic areas were exposed to the same parameters. The final analysis was that Prettislim was ranked as No.1 in Mumbai. The Centre for Obesity and Diabetes Surgery was ranked 2nd, The Cosmetic Surgery Institute ranked 3rd, and Dr. Sharad Sharma's Metabariatrics Clinic ranked 4th.

In today's world, everybody's main aim in life isn't just to feel good; it's also to look good.

Their consistent performance over the years has helped them build a strong base of loyal clients, who think of Prettislim whenever they think about a body sculpting treatment.
They also offer a Fit For Life scheme, which is a programme that lasts for a whole year. Over the course of the year, one can enjoy a monthly U-Lipo session, along with daily slimming tips and constant over-the-phone support from a slimming coach. This programme helps one maintain their long-term weight and body goals, and prevents them from putting on weight every now and again.
With 3 clinics in Mumbai, at Kandivali, Andheri and Bandra, Prettislim is accessible to most of the city's population. Their physicians and consultants constantly motivate their clients to stick to their health goals, and with the pain-free and affordable treatments they offer. Hence, they were ranked Mumbai's No.1 Slimming Clinic.
About Prettislim:

The clinics are run by qualified MBBS and MD doctors, along with dieticians, physiotherapists, and allied health professionals.

Weight Loss Diet – Do it Right

With obesity and related health disorders on the rise worldwide, it’s now more important than ever to keep a check on your weight and make sure you stay healthy. Current fast-paced lifestyles make it difficult to do so. Because of our busy schedules we tend to opt for easily available processed foods rather than wholesome organic foods. It’s no surprise then that 60% of the nation’s population is overweight.

While exercise might help you drop the kilos, the first and most important step to weight loss is to rectify your diet. Often the reason behind us deciding to lose weight is an upcoming event or occasion. At these times we tend to turn to crash diets. But skipping meals altogether can cause you to gain weight in the long run. The solution is to remain conscious about your weight year-round, and pay attention to what you eat. A weight loss diet doesn’t have to be a difficult thing and it doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to all your favourite foods.
If you choose a diet plan that leaves you hungry and unsatisfied, the chances are that you won’t be able to keep at it for too long. Besides, being hungry all day isn’t healthy for you either. When you diet to lose weight, your focus should be on reducing your appetite and improving your metabolism rather than counting calories and cutting out foods entirely.
We’ve compiled a few guidelines to help you improve your diet, lose weight the healthy way, and keep it off. Follow these tips, incorporate a healthy dose of physical activity into your daily routine and you’ll be fitter and healthier in no time.
Reduce Sugars and Starches
Sugar and starch, or carbs, stimulate the secretion of insulin – the body’s main fat storage hormone. When the insulin levels in your body are reduced, it allows the break down and utilisation of fats. This helps reduce your appetite and lower your food intake without the hunger.
You can have a carb cheat day once a week if it helps keep you motivated. However, try to stick to healthy carb sources such as oats, rice, sweet potatoes and fruits.
Eat Fats, Protein and Vegetables
Yes, you read that right. Don’t try to cut out fats and carbs at the same time. Choose healthy sources of fat instead. Coconut oil is the best cooking fat to use and helps boost your metabolism. Aside from this, you can also incorporate avocado oil, olive oil or butter in small proportions.
It’s extremely important to have some source of protein in your diet. Protein gives your metabolism a sizeable boost and can help reduce your calorie intake by keeping you full. Beef, pork, chicken, salmon, lobster, shrimp and eggs are all healthy options.
Choose low carb vegetables to get your fix of fibre, vitamins and minerals. Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale, cucumber, celery, lettuce and the like will do wonders for your diet.
Incorporating each of these three elements in every meal will help you stay full and keep your insulin levels low.
Lift Weights
This last step isn’t compulsory. However, when you lose weight, your metabolism tends to slow down. Lifting weights twice or thrice a week will help prevent this problem. If you are unable to do this, you can choose a simpler cardio workout like jogging or running to help boost your metabolism.
Now that you have the ideal diet for weight loss, you can get started on your fitness goals. And if you’re ever in the mood for a treat, we have a selection of deliciously healthy recipes for you.

Why Fitness is an Important Part of Grooming

On average, we all put at least an hour every day into our appearances and personal grooming. After all, being clean, fresh, and well-dressed not only helps you look better, but help you feel better too. While good grooming can help boost your mood and your confidence, there is much more to personal maintenance than just that.

Grooming consists of the things we do to keep ourselves looking neat, tidy and attractive. It goes without saying then, that grooming extends to fitness as well. After all, the fitter you are, the more attractive you are to others and yourself. Furthermore, being physically fit is an important part of effectively managing the tasks and stresses of daily life.
Here’s a look at the benefits of being fit:
Increased Positivity
Studies have shown that being fit improves your self–esteem and your energy levels. It even helps increase your mental resilience and cope with emotional and mental challenges in a healthy manner. A fit body implies less stress while handling everyday situations and that means a happier you.
Increased Focus
When your body is relaxed and healthy, it allows you to think clearer and quicker. Thus staying fit helps you stay alert and fight lethargy. When you’re in good shape, you’ll likely be able to pay greater attention to detail and think on your toes.
Increased Productivity
With an improved mood and better focus, your productivity is bound to increase. Keeping yourself fit can help enhance not only the efficiency, but also the quality of your work. What’s more, research has also shown that people who have higher levels of fitness also have better memories.
Overall Improvement of Health
A fit body means lesser risks of being affected by obesity and conditions such as heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, stroke and certain types of cancer. Better bone and muscle strength will mean less susceptibility to injury. And better blood and oxygen circulation will improve your general immunity.
Improved Physical Appeal
One of the main reasons people want to be fit is that fitness increases your physical attractiveness. Looking good can help you feel good about yourself, and that little added bit of confidence can make a world of a difference to your professional and personal life.
In today’s day and age however, it can be extremely difficult to find the time for yourself in between the hectic schedules of work, home and family. Exercise is generally the last thing on our minds at the end of a long day. That’s where Prettislim’s body contouring comes in. Our 4 in 1 U-Lipo body shaping treatment is a safe and painless approach to targeted fat reduction. With the ‘Fit for Life’ plan, all it takes to stay in shape is an hour-long monthly session with one of our trained physicians. In addition, you’ll receive slimming tips and support from our slimming coach 365 days a year. We also have a customer loyalty program which allows you to earn and redeem loyalty points. If you’d like to take your first step towards fitness with our body sculpting treatment, visit a Prettislim centre near you.

The Future of Slimming Treatments for Men

The earliest records of liposuction date back to 1920, when French surgeon Charles Dujarier introduced the concept of body contouring through suction. However, the concept was largely forgotten for years after his procedure caused gangrene in the leg of a model. Slimming treatments have come a long way since then. And though modern liposuction is a great improvement on its namesake, there are still better ways to tackle stubborn body fat today.

That’s where Prettislim’s 4 in 1 U-Lipo treatment comes in. This treatment uses Ultrasound Lipolysis, NARF, Vacuum Suction and Power Vibra to non-surgically reduce fat in targeted areas. Safe, painless and economical, it is suitable for men and women of any age. In fact, more and more men have started opting for slimming treatments in the recent past, with approximately 60% of Prettislim’s clients being male.
What Prettislim’s U-Lipo has to Offer You
If you’re like most people, it’s likely you take pride in your appearance and desire to be fit. But while it’s easy staying toned and in-shape when you’re younger, gone are the days when you could eat without guilt and spend hours a week at the gym. With the hectic schedules we follow these days – managing our homes and providing for our families, finding the time to work out is rare. However, that doesn’t change the fact that we need to stay fit.
Prettislim offers a wide range of targeted fat reduction treatments for men such as male breast reduction without surgery, thigh tuck, hip tuck, arm tuck, saddle bag tuck and calf tuck because you shouldn’t have to lose confidence on account of your busy work life. Our slimming treatments for men will have a great impact on your work and personal life as we help you to look and feel your best.

5 Easy Ways to Achieve Your Summer Body



Let us first say that it’s not a myth that weight loss only gets harder as you get older. Women who are trying to lose just a few kilograms will have a much harder time at 40 years than they did at 20. Simple fact is as the body changes, so too should your weight loss system.

Here are five easy ways & tricks by our Slimming Expert to get that fabulous summer body:
1. Monitor your Daily Calorie Consumption
Always ensure that you consume a majority of your calories before 3 PM. Women who eat their biggest meals early in the day shed more weight than those who eat the same number of calories later in the day. Have a light dinner & don’t let lunch get pushed back into the late afternoon. Don’t starve yourself. Starving yourself will actually hurt your chances of losing weight, because your metabolism slows when it doesn’t get food. Have small meals every 2 hours. Here is what we suggest:
9 am: Cereals
11 am: One Fruit
1 pm: Lunch which includes Salad, Dal and Multi Grain Rotis (2)
3 pm: One Fruit/Glass of Buttermilk or Juice
5 pm: Some Almonds/Walnuts or Chana or Poha or Sukha Bhel
Between 7 pm to 8 pm: Dinner which should be light & accompanied with a bowl of Salad or Soup.
2. Get your hand out of the Cookie Jar & increase your daily intake of water
Avoid sodas, even the diet ones. They contribute to the 80% Sugar in your body! Though diet soda offers a zero calorie alternative to regular soda, it still interferes with weight loss. Hence, if you’re serious about getting that body looking in top shape, increase your daily intake of water. You can add Mint or a Fresh Fruit in your water to cut the taste. The recommended daily intake is actually about Nine Glasses a day.
Cheat Tip: Download Water Alarm apps which reminds you every hour to have a glass of water.
3. Crash Diet – a complete NO NO
If you’ve been struggling with weight issues & have been on a yo-yo diet your whole life, you have changed your body composition. When you crash diet, you’re more likely to lose muscle, rather than fat. So when you go off the diet, you tend to regain that weight in the form of fat, not muscle. So in the end, you end up weighing the same but with a higher percentage of fat.
And as we know, fat is much harder to lose than muscle or water weight. This means the next time you try to lose weight, it will be harder than the time before. You’ve even thought of going under the knife. Gulp!
Cheat Tip: Try U-Lipo with us and you can lose up to 8cm per session, without undergoing surgery. Unlike the conventional liposuction methods, which are expensive, surgery-intensive, risky and painful, with U-Lipo you can completely avoid the side effects of Liposuction.
4. Brew some tea to banish bloat
Simply grate some ginger, which is known to soothe the digestive track, into hot water, then add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or steep about 5 grams of dried dandelion leaf (a diuretic) in one cup of hot water, strain, and drink once the water cools slightly. Other varieties of tea shown to help with gas include peppermint and chamomile.
5. Sweet dreams
If you tend to crave unhealthy glutton ridden foods, like cookies or double cheese pizza, the day after a late night, you’re not the only one.
Study shows that lack of sleep leads to 50% higher carb cravings. And the more tired you feel, the stronger those cravings are because your body is literally trying to get more energy. You need around seven hours of sleep every night to keep these cravings at bay
