Staying in shape and keeping fit are a couple of the biggest lifestyle trends today. From posting #fitspo pictures on social media to donning the latest athleisure wear and signing up for the newest exercise class, staying in shape and keeping fit are a couple of the biggest lifestyle trends today. And therein lies the problem. Eager to shed those pounds and size down, many people sign up for gym memberships, stick to a tight exercise regime, and eat carefully, yet still find the results lacking. In some cases, exercising in poor form even leads to injuries.
Weight loss and targeted fat reduction
“There is a big difference between general weight loss and targeted fat reduction that many people fail to understand,” says Dr Ivan Puah, the medical director of Amaris B. Clinic and chairman of the Lipo Peer Review Group Singapore.
According to Dr Puah, weight loss treatment and targeted fat loss are vastly different. When you lose weight, you will lose both fat and muscle simultaneously, but you cannot dictate to your body that it should lose fat from the specific area you desire. On the other hand, targeted fat reduction may improve one’s body shape but generally will not significantly impact body weight.
The good news is that it is now possible to achieve your ideal body—from weight loss and body fat percentage reduction to stubborn localised fat removal and injury management (be it occupational or due to overexercising)—all under one roof.
