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.
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.
Beyond being our gas tank, fat is where we hoard vitamins A, D, E and K. It cushions our organs and keeps us warm. When toxins are introduced into the body, they are stored in the safest place available, our fat. When it comes to pulling its our weight, fat is not sitting down on the job.
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.
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.
Low Level Lasers have been in use for over 40 years for treatment of many different conditions such as chronic pain, wound healing, and many other orthopedic conditions.

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.
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.

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. 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.
