“Had Zerona and Lapex BCS - Pittsburgh, PA”

Worth It
Spent: $1,000 in Pittsburgh, PA

I had various treatments done that I purchased through sale sites like Groupon. I was trying to get the procedures as cheap as possible, for example: 3 treaments for $200.
Here's what you need to do to make them work: Don't eat a lot the night before. DON't drink alcohol, at all. (because your liver is needed for this to work)
Get up in the morning and exercise away your stored glycogen. About an hour of heavy exercise. Do not eat - unless you just eat ONE strawberry to put your body into fat-burning mode for the day.
Drink a ton of water the days before, during and after your procedure. ( because if you don't, your liver will be forced to help your kidneys instead of processing fat)
If you are healthy, maybe also drink a sugar free energy drink ON YOUR WAY to your treatment.
Now, your body is OUT of glycogen, and is burning fat due to the one strawberry and the energy drink.
Then, the lipo laser (zerona or Lapex) melts fat off of your body, it goes into your system like food that you just ate - about 600 calories worth of fat.
Then - get on their vibration machine - try to use it longer than they suggest if no one else is waiting to use the machine.
Then, exercise with elliptical or something to burn at least 600 calories.
WHY do you want to do all of that work? BECAUSE - the fat is being burnt from your abdomen or if you use the LAPEX you can select exactly where you want the fat to be burned! (they put laser paddles directly on your fat with Lapex)
With regular diet and exercise you may be burning MUSCLE - or losing a little from weird areas - not your belly pouch!
I wore a tight shirt, they put the paddles on my arms, the shirt fit as I walked out of there!
If you have a stubborn area it can now be gone if you follow my instructions above!
Oh, and to prevent gaining the fat back, start only eating less than 600 calories per meal - make sure you burn off that 600 calories before you eat something else!
Don't bother doing this if
1) you won't exercise before and after
2) you refuse to "not eat" before and after
3) you are planning to eat high calorie meals for most of your life

I had a similar exercise plan working for me back in 2006, getting ready for a wedding, and lost 10 pounds in 2 months without Zerona or anything else.
So, if you are happy with your body, or have no problem losing weight on your own with no help, why would you even be considering Zerona or reading this site?
As for me personally:
I had areas that I wanted to be smaller. Diet and exercise can have unpredictable results. Have you ever watched the biggest loser and noticed some contestants not losing or even gaining weight?
With regular diet and exercise you could lose a pound and not see a noticeable difference - it could be removed from your whole body in very small amounts - or worse yet it could come from an area that you may not want to lose in: breast/buttocks/face, etc.
You could lose muscle tissue, especially if you aren't eating the right foods/proteins/amounts.
So - with the new cool lasers - I am super happy to feel in control, that I can have them put the laser paddle put on the exact spot that I don't like and then just exercise that fat away.... in my exact problem area - instead of waiting for my body to pick what tissue that it wants to burn.
I haven't been weighing myself, but I wear smaller clothes and am very happy with the Lapex.
I think the Zerona did help me lose inches all over, although they mostly target the lasers to your middle section.
Zerona would help you burn fat instead of muscle, but I prefer the LAPEX laser instead because you can put the paddles specifically on your problem areas exactly.
Menopause!!! Exactly! Before Perimenopause, I could lose weight with diet and excercise but not any more. I've gone to a personal trainer 3 times a week for 2 years and I eat right and still my weight creeps up. I'm trying zerona for my pouchy belly today. I HOPE IT WORKS!
Good luck, and may the force be with you.
So here is a strategy you might can use: However much you worked out before, add 30 minutes to that plus one extra day a week. After age 55, add another 30 minutes to that total, with half-workouts on Sundays. Regularly.
However much you ate before meno, subtract 50 calories from that daily total for every year you are over 50. And this is not temporary, this is the way it will have to be for the duration, if you want to avoid turning into your mother. Or your granny. You know what I mean...
I have read part of Kevin Trudeaus book and it makes a lot of common sense. The older I get the more I believe that common sense wins out 99.9% of the time. Putting man-made chemicals in your body does not make common sense, for treating most illnesses. What makes sense if figuring out what is causing the illness and treating the deficiency or removing the item from the persons life that is causing the illness. You may find the books by Suzanne Somers helpful as well. Contrary to popular belief, she is NOT the person giving the advice or recommendations. She is only the lay person interviewing specialists who have multidegrees and decades of experience with mainstream medicine and have changed their practice to more naturalistic treatments that MAKE SENSE because mainstream medicine is not curing or helping treat most cancers or illnesses. What you may find personally interesting is what the specialists tell her about menopause and the use of bioidentical hormones (NOT manmade chemical hormone replacement)that allow women to regain their health, physical shape, memory etc... I know that I, even with and especially because of my mainstream medical background, am going to look into finding a Dr. in my area who will help me in getting bioidentical hormone replacement.
Read her books. I believe it was AFTER her dx with breast CA that she became more involved with investigating and searching out the amazing specialists who have gone from ineffective mainstream medicine to alterior hightly effective CURES. She begins her books stating that she is not suggesting that the information she has sought out is for everyone and that the success of any treatment is highly dependent on the individuals belief in the treatment, but that she is only providing information. She is trying to provide "the rest of the story" that mainstream medicine will not admit to or attempts to blackball as the treatments/cures discussed are not multimillion dollar moneymakers for pharma companies, hospitals, etc... I was a firm believer in mainstream medicine and practiced as such in my career until I personally lived through routine moneymaking procedures/ treatments being disproven thus eliminated and then finding out that the data had been available for years but held back by the medical community. I've also personally experienced a local pharmycist diluting chemo for his own financial gain and basing his own defense on the fact that chemo has been proven to be ineffective in killing cancer 98% of the time yet seriously detremental to the patient 100% of the time! Of course he was in the wrong to dilute the chemo and went to prison but no one even checked out his defense....which is actually accurate and the medical community knows it!
Yes, I agree, we should be VIGILANT in ANY treatment we use and should be assisted by a professional who is known to be familiar and SUCCESSFUL with it.
