While diet and exercise remain the foundation for addressing holiday weight gain (with nutrition being even more crucial than workouts), those with stubborn fat pockets resistant to healthy lifestyle habits can benefit from CoolSculpting—the gold standard in non-surgical fat reduction that selectively freezes and eliminates fat cells from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and love handles without harming surrounding tissues or requiring downtime, with dual-machine treatments available to cut session time in half for busy individuals.

“I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!”

Yes, I found myself saying this many times over the holidays last month.  I am sure I am not alone in packing on a few extra pounds and feeling a little too full in the belly.  Most people reading this will not recognize the title, which is from a classic Alka-Seltzer commercial from 1972.  For a good laugh go to YouTube and enter the title into the search bar.  However, if you want to make a change in the change the holiday treats have brought upon you then read on.

Post-Holiday Solutions: From Simple Lifestyle Changes to Medical Interventions

I am a big fan of simple.  The simple approach is diet and exercise.  Frankly, what you eat is more important than how many calories you burn.  I have found that I can always “out eat” my work out.  There is a lot of great information online to help with nutrition.  There are many great ways to exercise.  You can go to the gym, get outside and get that body moving or be like me and jump on your Peloton indoors.  If you really want some great help I suggest you stroll on down to Gumsaba Custom Fitness in Alamo and consult with the one and only awesome Michele Brown.  If she can’t help you get in shape then nobody can.

Beyond Diet and Exercise: Advanced Options for Stubborn Fat

What if you are in good shape, eat well, and still have some stubborn fat that you can’t get rid of?  Modern Medicine has several options.  CoolSculpting has become the gold standard for non-surgical fat reduction.  The most common areas we treat are the abdomen, thighs and love handles and more.  We treat men and women.  CoolSculpting works by freezing the fat cells.  Fat cells are more sensitive to cold temperatures than the other skin structures so we can selectively destroy the fat cells without harming the other skin structures.  This procedure requires no social downtime or time off work.At my office we offer “dual-sculpting”.  We have two CoolSculpting machines so that we can treat two areas of the body at once essentially cutting your treatment time in half.  We are committed to not only getting the best result but also to making the experience as easy as possible.  Have a busy work schedule?  We can offer weekend treatments.   In addition to CoolSculpting we also offer Tumescent Liposuction which is the safest way of performing the procedure completely with local anesthesia.  Call us at 925-838-4900 today.  You can also visit our website at www.potozkin.com
