One of the most common misconceptions in the aesthetic industry is that slimming treatments are a quick and sure-fire weight loss solution. While slimming treatments can help you to lose weight, they are primarily body contouring solutions. This means that they allow you to achieve a slimmer and more toned body rather than outrightly get rid of calories, which are the main cause of weight gain. As such, there is, unfortunately, still no easy or instantaneous way to lose fat.
However, slimming treatments can come in handy when you are looking to create a well-contoured body and eliminate stubborn fat areas. Some may find that even after dieting and exercising, they are unable to attain their desired body shapes. In such cases, slimming treatments can provide an effective solution.
If you have undergone a slimming treatment, consider implementing these steps to maximise results for a better and longer-lasting body shape that is to your liking.
1. Drink plenty of water
Water should be your best friend every day, but especially so if you are looking to boost the effectiveness of your slimming treatment. By drinking a good amount of water, which is estimated to be roughly 2.7 litres per day for women and 3.7 litres for men, you can allow your body to stay well-hydrated. Studies have shown that by drinking enough water, stored and excess fat can be burned off effectively. Moreover, drinking water is an effective way to curb your appetite and limit calorie intake.
2. Eating well, not less
Yes, you heard that right. In order for your slimming treatment to work, you should continue eating well. While some women may resort to skipping meals to prevent further weight gain, this can only cause their bodies to weaken as they lack sufficient nutrients to be in top form. Of course, this does not mean eating everything and anything, it is about eating in moderation and understanding the number of calories you put into your body.
Opt for healthier options that support weight loss, such as lean protein, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, to name a few. A healthy and well-balanced diet ensures that your body is nourished and gives you the energy to enjoy your day.
3. Do not skip out on exercise
We know that exercise is a subjective experience. Some people find enjoyment in it, while others do it purely for the sake of improving their physical appearance. If you belong to the latter group, you may not be too pleased to hear that undergoing a slimming treatment does not excuse you from exercising. However, unlike setting a goal to achieve a calorie deficit, you should look to create an energy balance – a perfect state in which you lose the same number of calories as you have consumed.
It is unfeasible to embark on a 30-minute workout immediately, so start small each day and progress from there. You can slowly increase the difficulty and intensity of your workouts once you have gained more confidence.
