It’s important to remember that Coolsculpting is not a replacement for traditional diet and exercise. It shouldn’t be used as a weight loss tool but rather after achieving your weight loss goals to sculpt your stubborn fatty deposits. When fat deposits resist the traditional diet or exercise, Coolsculpting treatments can remove up to 25% of fat cells in the treated area. With that being said, you can control a few things to make sure that you maximize fat cell loss with your Coolsculpting treatment in San Diego.

 

Step One: Eat a Healthy Diet
When it comes to how CoolSculpting works, you need to keep in mind that this treatment is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Continuing to eat a healthy diet is an essential part of the process. The remaining fat cells can still shrink or expand with weight gain or loss. Maintaining a healthy diet will help prevent fat cells from expanding. This will also help minimize fat deposits in other areas you already worked on with diet or exercise. Ultimately, your goal is to maintain your weight loss and shape the remaining areas with fat deposits. This doesn’t mean that you must make significant changes to your diet. Being conscious of your intake will help you keep the weight off without major changes to your lifestyle. Generally, you should avoid processed foods that are exceptionally high in calories but lack fundamental nutritional value. Most meals should incorporate the primary food groups: vegetables, fruits, protein, and whole grains. You may find that eating several smaller meals instead of the typical three meals per day may keep you feeling fuller throughout the day and prevent unnecessary snacking on junk foods.

 

Step Two: Exercise
Although there are several areas of your body that you can target with CoolSculpting, you should never overlook the importance of exercise. This is a great way to maintain your weight loss. It’s a good idea to alternate between cardio and strength training. Cardio will help you burn calories and assist in keeping your ideal weight. Strength training will help tone muscle, particularly in the area where you had Coolsculpting appointment, giving you a more toned look as you reach your sculpting goals. Just 30 minutes per day will help you maintain your weight and strengthen your muscles. Remember to alternate between cardio and strength training and rest at least one day per week.

 

Step Three: Discuss Realistic Expectations
It’s imperative to discuss your expectations with your Coolsculpting technician. One of the Coolsculpting myths is that this treatment is a substitute for dieting. Treatments are recommended for those within 10 pounds of their weight loss goals. It’s also advised to discuss how many treatment sessions you will need to reach your goals. You should expect no more than a 25% fat cell loss in the treated area, and it may take multiple sessions to achieve your ideal body image. Your Coolsculpting technician will provide a plan of how many sessions you should expect during the first consultation. It’s essential to be honest about your body sculpting goals with your technician so they can properly plan how to achieve your desires with you.
