How to Get Rid of Fat Gained After Lipo

After the pain, stress, recovery process and cost of liposuction, gaining back the pounds can be discouraging. However, according to Dr. Yates, a board-certified plastic surgeon from Utah, the improved shape of the body will still remain after liposuction, even if the pounds come back or you weigh more than before. Additionally, he says, that weight can be lost easily with a good diet and exercise plan.

Instructions

• 1

  Start your day with a healthy breakfast to get your metabolism going and feel energized. Good choices include whole wheat toast, scrambled eggs, a bowl of bran flakes with chopped fruit or a fruit shake.

• 2

  Exercise right after breakfast, if your work day allows for it, to burn calories and fat. The optimal workout time is between 30 and 60 minutes of cardio in order to burn fat.

• 3

  Drink lots of water throughout the day. Staying hydrating keeps you from overeating and energizes the body, allowing it to be more productive and active.

• 4

  Snack on healthy, low-fat foods, such as vegetable sticks, fruits, a small handful of nuts, some whole grain cereal or a yogurt.

• 5

  Eat a light lunch, such as a big, leafy salad, a vegetable soup or a grilled veggie wrap.

• 6

  Make dinners that are mostly vegetables, with a low-fat protein, such as chicken or salmon, and a whole grain starch, such as pasta. The vegetables should take up one half of your plate while the protein and starch should each be one quarter at the most.
