Weight Loss Options that beat liposuction

The dirty four letter word, diet, keeps coming to mind, when most people think of weight loss options. Probably one of the worse words in the dictionary to many overweight people.  As they search for the perfect diet, surgical procedure or weight loss website, that four letter word keeps coming back. Weight loss options must include a change of lifestyle, not just diet.  The ultimate weight loss option is adhering to a healthy lifestyle as the French do.  Eating less and enjoying more.

In the very famous book, "French Women Don't Get Fat" the author shows how to enjoy life and yes even enjoy chocolate.  Losing weight is not a prison sentence, but it does mean giving up the "offenders" as Mireille Guiliano explains in her book.  Mireille's book shows how to lose weight, by eating for pleasure not guilt. A weight loss program such as Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers.

There are many weight loss programs and Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers each have their celebrities that sponsor their programs.  Do you remember Marie Osmond and Valerie Bertineli?  How great they looked after the diet.  Weight loss programs have many programs also.  Both diet programs push their specialty foods on the participants.  Weight Watchers is the cheapest of the two programs.  The support groups and the meetings are one of the most important aspects of the programs.

Surgical Procedures

Let’s face it; this is a society where plastic surgery to improve one’s appearance is becoming more and more common. Many people consider the practicality of liposuction, lipodissolving, gastric bypass surgery or even products like The Lap Band and The Gastric Balloon.

Surgical weight loss is costly, and the recovery times differ for everyone. Tummy tucks are becoming common place for those who have lost weight and have loose skin. Liposuction is occurring more frequently, and new procedures are being developed frequently.

Body Wraps

Body wraps can be done in the comfort of your home with the use of a paste made from salt and clay usually.  Many do add in essential oils, but the basic wrap is very simple. It can be done in less than an hour.  The wraps are temporary and the person will need to do the body wrap again in 30 days or less.  There is nothing holistic or organic about using plastic wrap on the body though. If plastic harms the food you eat, what happens to placing that same plastic on your body?

Diet Plans

There are as many diet plans as there are stars in the sky and some are very good and some are not.  They all take will power and determination and following a basic outline of foods allowed.  Some of the favorites are the raw vegan diet, the Mediterranean diet, the Dr. Oz Staying Young and the Belly Fat Diets.  They all have the same premise in the end, limit fats, cut sugars and the white foods and substitute olive oil for bad oils.  It is not difficult to diet, but many will need a specified plan of action and a support group.  Will Dr. Oz's famous green smoothie make you thin? Yes it will if you follow his whole plan not just drink the shakes.

It’s Not A Diet, It’s A Lifestyle Change

Losing weight and the secret of longevity is all in one main principle.  The principal of lifestyle change.  You cannot continue to eat bad and live.  Do you want to die young or do you want to live a well balanced life for your grandchildren to see?  A healthy lifestyle will include cutting the toxins in your home, eating healthy and exercise.  It takes the whole equation not just part.  Good eating habits will include cutting out processed foods and boxed cereals.  Eating organic and healthy will give you a brighter tomorrow and a healthier life plan.
