The Skinny on Fat
Fat or to put it more eloquently adipose tissue is usually the least favorite ingredient in the recipe of us. Or at least its something wed only like a dash of. Should we get to know this valid part of our bodies? How much of it do you really need? What is fat actually used for and why are men apples while women tend to side with pears? I say know your enemy. So for today, were going to give the skinny on fat and know that it can be a friend in small doses.
We can tack on another 4 percent for the fat that is stored in our organs, muscles and in our brain and spinal cord. This is essential fat and also why having a body mass under 18 is a health hazard due to possible organ failure.
Women need around an extra 4 percent to save up for the demands of pregnancy and breast-feeding.What we are shooting for is a BMI over 18.5 but less than 25. That means we what our bodies to be less than a quarter made up of fat.
And now that you know the skinny on fat, what can you do to help? Body By Laser is a new body-sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery. Body By Laser unlike other procedures allows the patient to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, or wounds. Body By Laser works by utilizing the Erchonia LipoLASER (FDA market cleared for laser assisted liposuction) to emulsify adipose tissue which then releases into the interstitial space. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification.
The Body By Laser procedure was proven through a double blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled study in which patients averaged a loss of 3.5 inches, and some lost up to as much as 9 inches compared to the placebo group that lost only a half an inch.
About the Procedure: During the procedure patients most often do not feel anything, the laser that is being administered is a low level laser that does not produce heat, it is completely noninvasive, and has never shown any recorded side effects.

First, why do we have fat? From one meal to the next we survive from the energy, which is produced from stored fat. Ideally wed like around 15 percent of our weight stored as this readily accessible energy. Food has not been as accessible as the closest 24-hour convenience store. When days were short and food supply scarce in the winter, the abundance from the warmer months would get us through. Now that we never fast our bodies are all prepared for a shortage that rarely comes. What we are left with is excess.
Think of the last time your waist was 2-3 inches smaller, your hips had that natural curve, and your thighs were thinner. With the Body By Laser treatment you now have an alternative to a shapelier figure without having to endure the fear, and sometimes painful process of a surgical procedure.

About the Protocol: Treatment takes 40 minutes and needs to be administered three times a week for two weeks for best results. The laser will be applied over the targeted area i.e.waist, hips, and thighs for 20 minutes and then the patient will turn over and do the same treatment on the opposite side. This should be a minimum, for maximum results consult your physician about doing more than one two week session. What to Expect: After completion of the two week protocol clinical trials resulted in an average of 3.5 inches lost; and some patient’s losing up to as much as 9 inches. As with any procedure results will vary and may be more dramatic from one patient to the next. This is not a quick weight loss program”we are targeting the adipose tissue and are not taking off excess water weight. We are removing the excess fat to successfully shape the body for a more desirable outcome.
