From Obesity to Six Packs-- Weight Loss and Figure Correction Possibilities

It not always binge eating that gives you the stubborn weight gaining and mountains of fat, making you hate your mirror and your life, more with everyday. Other than eating disorders, weight gaining could be the result of--
* Heredity
* Inactivity
* Aging
* Stress
* Child Birth

* Thyroid Disorder
Sometimes the prolonging of weight gaining cause, such as stress or inactivity, continues to grow and make a person more and more overweight. At one point of time, it seems impossible to bring back the curvaceous body you owned for a while, now a long time gone. But this is a myth, with determination you can achieve a better body even after 40s, or 50s, or 60s. It is just that your health comes in the way, and complicates matters with heart disorder, cholesterol, and other such factors.
Difference between Obese and Overweight
The difference is how far you are from your ideal weight in accordance to one's height and age. Usually it is the excessiveness of body fat that is the cause of being overweight or obese.
There are two types of body fat in humans-- muscle fat or visceral fat; and, skin fat or subcutaneous fat. It is the muscle fat that makes a person overweight. While skin fat, rather makes a person bulky that has little to with one's weight.
Usually overweight is counted to be up to 20pounds more than normal weight with excess visceral fat, on a BMI scale. While with 30pounds or more, one enters into the obesity zone; the more the weight with excess visceral fat, the more the weight, the more the grade of obesity.
Obesity is generally scaled in 3stages that is --
* Obesity, Stage I, which is more than 30pounds one's ideal weight
* Morbid obesity, State II, up to 50pounds more than ideal weight, with relative health problems
* Severe Obesity, Stage III, up to 100pounds more than ideal weight, with life risk
Muscular Overweight is another aspect of these criteria. Wherein, a person with muscle mass can be more than 50-100poundsoverweight as well, such as body builders. But the weight is because of muscle, and the persons generally fit and healthy is not obesity. The person usually goes through a lot of workout to gain this. The problem obesity is caused by adipose mainly, which excess fat composite.
Difference between Weight Loss and Body Contouring
Weight loss measures are significantly based on dieting and exercising mainly. But, sometimes certain patients need some personalised programs added with the dieting and exercise to achieve their weight loss goals. Bariatric surgery is the last resort that is approached for weight management
Body Contouring on the other hand, is different than weight loss, by many means. It works by removing superficial fat from under the skin to re-contour one's figure. And, since skin fat does not make a person overweight, body contouring procedures do not apply for weight loss measures. Instead, trying procedures like liposuction or tummy tuck not only makes the result fruitless, it sometimes is more risky to person on a morbid obese person, and raise morbidity with the surgical trauma.
Body Contouring procedure are excellent options after a successful weight loss, meeting the issues of large portions of skin ptosis, and lacking elasticity. With procedures like tummy tuck, body lift, breast augmentation, and liposuction skin sagginess and spot fat locales, could be reduced.
Achieving Six Packs after Weight Loss and Body Contouring
Again, dieting and exercising is the way to do it, however with age, or lack of determination, or physical strength, many people fall short of achieving muscular definition all by organic means. Herein, cosmetic surgery makes things easier with advancements like liposuction and body sculpting.
VASER Hi Def lipo, is a predominantly known technology wherein ultrasound liposuction is used to first remove localized fat, and then groove same superficial fat layers that successfully projects the appearance of six packs. This is artificial, wherein six packs are actually made of muscles and not superficial fat.
