More older, more easier to fat

'The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends."

When I read this quote recently, I felt that it applied to a great many people. A lot of my patients say to me that, as they get older, even though they exercise quite regularly and maintain a fairly healthy diet - they are still gaining the kilos. They are stuck with extra weight or have flabby areas that don't respond positively to anything!

There are a number of reasons for this - as we age the body's metabolism starts to slow down. Life often becomes busier, juggling children and jobs - but conversely more computer-bound and sedentary. Even for those who in their younger years don't usually gain weight, part of the ageing process is that muscle mass gradually diminishes and is replaced by fat, resulting in decreased physical strength.

HEALTH DIAGNOSIS

It is good to approach weight control with a personal life-style plan. An EIS scanner can optimise fat reduction by monitoring your body's metabolic process - how it reacts to exercise - by telling you whether it sheds water, muscle or fat?

It also analyses the energy and function of the organs; measuring all the systems in the body and indicates problems such as thyroid discrepancies, low metabolism, insulin resistance, lean body mass and fat deposits.

JUST DO IT

Aerobic and strength-training exercises are very important in a healthy lifestyle plan. Cycling and running are the fastest way to burn calories, but they take on the rapidly available easy-burning carbohydrates first. It takes about 30 minutes before the body begins burning fat.

- Hypoxi Solution

In general, the reason why hips, thighs and the tummy tend to hold fat is because circulation in these areas is not as efficient as in the face, chest and calves. Hypoxi is a system of exercising with vacuums attached to the specific areas of concern. A vacuum increases blood circulation to lift up and firm, and maximise calories burnt from fat. This machine is geared towards shaping certain parts of the body and also assists with cellulite reduction.

- Carboxy Therapy and Meso Therapy

To melt fat locally and reduce cellulite you can use gas - carbon dioxide injections (carboxy) or medical-chemical injections (meso), which uses an extract from yellow beans.

- Radio frequency

The newest machine we have is called Body-16, which helps melt the fat and firm up the skin. There are a lot of new technologies to melt fat locally.

LOSE YOURSELF

- Detoxification

It is good to begin with a detox at the beginning of a weight-loss programme because you lose weight fast. First of all you eat very little, but highly nutritious food and all the toxins come out helping your body to perform optimally.

- Diet

For long-term weight control the most important factors are, of course, diet and exercise. Increase what you put out (exercise) and reduce what you put in (calories). A diet high in low-fat whole foods, avoiding too much sugar and dairy food, will help maintain a healthy weight. Some patients, however, struggle to eat less. There are some safe, FDA-approved medications that help to reduce your appetite and perceived 'satisfaction' from food by inhibiting the, "I'm hungry" chemicals in the brain.

FEED YOURSELF

Supplementing your diet with fat burners like L-Carnetine and Omega 3s, and products that absorb fat from the food such as Chitosan or Xenical (which should be used in conjunction with a physician-supervised reduced-calorie diet) can also help you to lose weight. Also, Glucomannan (a soluble fibre common in Asia) tablets reduce hunger by bloating your stomach thereby helping with weight loss.

So don't despair if you feel there's fat-chance of you losing weight - there are answers and solutions that will help you to be the best that you can - looking good and feeling great.
