HPC-UK Bitesize (Fat Loss): Liposuction Increases Visceral Fat



Liposuction is one of the most popular elective surgeries in the world. However a recent study shows that Nature does not like to be fooled.

Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo found that liposuction of subcutaneous (under the skin) fat in the abdomen caused an increase in visceral fat (fat surrounding the organs).

Visceral fat is a significant risk factor in metabolic syndrome (also called Syndrome X or the CHAOS series of disorders). So by attempting to take a short-cut to leanness, you’re stimulating the body to produce a sub-set of fat that is particularly potent in its effect on physiology. Visceral fat is extremely pro-inflammatory, and if you’ve been following HPC-UK for a while, you’ll know how devastating chronic inflammation is to your health and how it is a driver of a majority of disease states.

Yet reducing body-fat can be achieved in pretty much anyone (99.99%) with the right approach. The problem is most people have been seduced by commercial company’s lies, which really have no interest in you succeeding or finding out the truth of how to succeed, as by doing so they’ll lose a repeat customer.

The key to losing body-fat is essentially two-fold:

(1) Provide the body with nutrients that it needs to optimise physical structures and their metabolism. You can’t do this by reducing intake of food; that would cause a deficit in nutrients required for optimum functioning. You have to eat the right food, in the right amounts, at the right time.

(2) Perform the right exercise to stimulate the body to absorb and utilise the nutrients in the right way, and optimise the expression of your genome to create a blueprint for a lean body architecture. The majority of the exercise promoted by weight-loss companies actually creates a body set up for fat gain, rather than loss.

If you’re intending to lose fat, be careful from whom you receive your information; otherwise you can be figuratively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
