Is there a natural way to lose belly fat other than lipo?

Question

I am 38 years old 5-6 weight 150. I have two children, one is 15 and the other is 3 years old. After my first child bouncing back was easy but the second is a nightmare. I work out six days a week for years but cannot loose the belly fat. I am considering lipo but my husband thinks there is another option. I hate my mid section. Please advice.

I would definitely consider medical weight loss.  Exercise tends to be a great stabilizer of weight, but not always the best way to lose weight.  You can consider dietary modification such as reducing carbohydrate intake, or dietary restriction (like a balanced deficit diet).  You will tend to be more successful if you are working with a physician who is trained in obesity medicine.If you feel that your concerns are very localized, then you can consider procedures like Coolsculpting which will help reduce and contour localized areas like the lower abdomen without surgery.

If you don't have a lot of fat, and if you have fairly good skin elasticity, you may be a good candidate for CoolSculpting. CoolScuplting is getting rave reviews for melting fat away by freezing it. It is a non-surgical procedure that is done in the doctors office. Good luck.

Thanks for your question. If a weight loss program supervised by a physician is not leading to success, you might want to consider an abdominoplasty. An in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will determine whether or not you have enough skin laxity for this procedure and whether or not another procedure could benefit you.Hope this helps,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thanks for the question, if you really want to get rid of it I would suggest starting with a nutritionist and totally changing your approach to food, adding exercise with a personal trainer will facilitate the body transformation
