Natural weight loss tips in Tyler, Texas

August 14th, 2010

Although the weight loss industry would tell you different, shedding pounds can be difficult.  There are so many potholes in the road of best intentions that adhering to any plan sometimes seems a futile attempt.  Luckily, there are some simple things you can do to kick start your weight loss in Tyler, Texas that don’t require much effort or money.

Perhaps the simplest thing is to increase your water intake.  Your body needs water, and not the kind that is tainted with syrups and sugars.  The standard advice of eight 8 ounce glasses a day, or 64 ounces, is a good place to start, but is probably not accurate for the majority of the population.  You need to consume, in ounces, your body weight divided by 2.  So if you weigh 200 pounds, you should strive for 100 ounces of water per day.  If you think you are hungry, reach for the water first; you could just be thirsty.

Snack on fruits or veggies instead of chips and cookies.  If preparation time is a barrier, consider purchasing fruit that is already cut up.  A simple fruit salad makes a great substitute for a hamburger at lunch.  You’ll have more energy without a bloated, overly full feeling and the sugar you get from the fruit is in a form that your body can use.  Give the Tyler, Texas fast food joints a break for a month and see if the scales, and your wallet, don’t show positive results.

Muscle confusion for weight loss in Tyler, Texas

August 12th, 2010

Unless you were incredibly genetically blessed, you have probably experienced the dreaded plateau phase while trying to lose weight in Tyler, Texas.  When you first start out, you steadily lose weight but after a few weeks for some reason it seems your routine isn’t working any more.  This is because over a period of time the body will adjust to changes and what once worked does not work anymore.

So how do you prevent plateau?  Keep your routine varied.  You cannot do the same work-out in the same order for any period of time and keep getting results.  Use the principals of muscle confusion so that your body doesn’t get used to any one thing.  Work the same muscle groups in different ways to keep your body wondering what is coming next.

A good rule of thumb is to totally change your routine every 4 weeks.  You may have 2 or 3 different routines to alternate throughout the year so that you do not constantly have to come up with new moves.  As long as it has been a while since your muscles experienced a specific move, repeating routines will be fine.  Some may even like to change out routines every week to keep things interesting and the body well confused.

Replacing fat with muscle may not make the scales move as drastically as you would like since muscle weighs more than fat, but the true results are in the way you look and feel.

Liposuction for Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

August 11th, 2010

We live in a fast paced world and that may be part of the reason so many people have a problem with traditional weight loss programs.  We all want to see results immediately.  Many people turn to cosmetic surgery such as liposuction with the belief that it will be quick, easy, and immediate.  Liposuction isn’t for everyone, however, and most surgeons do not readily perform the surgery on people who have not already tried less invasive methods to shed the pounds.

Technology today allows for the removal of up to 30 pounds of fat with liposuction, although these larger volumes will require a hospital stay.  Tyler, Texas liposuction surgeons can help you better understand the procedure and set realistic expectations for the final results.  Liposuction is not a quick fix and is generally reserved for the times where you have dieted, exercised, and yet still have stubborn problem areas where fat just will not come off.

Like all surgery, liposuction comes with risks.  General anesthesia is required and this alone comes with its own set of risks.  Find a board certified Tyler, Texas cosmetic surgeon to fully discuss all the risks involved and decide together whether liposuction is right for you.  Even after surgery, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and incorporate cardio and resistance training exercises into your daily lifestyle.  While liposuction can give great results for those who are fit yet slightly overweight, it may not be the best option for those who are seriously overweight.

Hormone Therapy Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

August 10th, 2010

What is hormone therapy weight loss?  Essentially it is a form of therapy that uses a synthetic human growth hormone (GH) to stimulate the body’s cells’ oxygen consumption, increase energy, and increase the natural metabolic processes in the body.  It also helps to reduce protein loss in the muscles and reduce visceral body fat.  There is a catch, however; this form of weight loss therapy is only available via injection by your Tyler, Texas medical doctor.

Strictly speaking, this method of weight loss should only be used by those who are severely obese.  Those seeking to lose only 10 or 20 pounds would do better to adopt a more traditional form of weight loss management.  Even those who elect this form of therapy will still need to adhere to a more healthy diet and exercise regimen.

As with all medical treatments, there are certain risks and side effects associated with hormone therapy weight loss.  Men may notice an enlargement in breast tissue.  Other side effects include, but are not limited to joint and muscle pain, swelling in the extremities, later onset of diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.  It is important to weigh the risks and benefits carefully against each other by discussing this course of treatment with your Tyler, Texas health care provider.

Tyler, Texas hormone therapy weight loss is not a quick fix, nor should it be considered lightly.  Treatment times range from 5 to 39 weeks and, as with any program, must be combined sensibly with proper nutrition and exercise.
