Why Fad Diets Won’t Fix Those Problem Areas

Diets FAD

Every few years, there’s a new fad diet guaranteed to drop the pounds, tone the muscles or burn the fat. The cabbage soup or apple cider vinegar drinks may work initially, but the results are often short lived.

The truth is that fad diets don’t work to keep weight off long-term. On top of that, the long-term effect of trading in a balanced diet for one that limits nutrients and vitamins could mean health issues later in life.

Cosmetic Surgery As A Complement To A Balanced Diet

The best diet plan is a balanced diet full of vegetables, fruits and lean protein, and of course, exercise. However, if you find that diet and exercise don’t give you the thighs or abdomen you worked so hard for, Dr. Alan Greenberg and North Texas Cosmetic Surgery can discuss cosmetic surgery options for a sculpted, natural look.

Dr. Greenberg, a Frisco liposuction surgeon, can perform in-office liposuction, a safe, minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. Office liposuction uses tumescent anesthesia, an “awake” anesthesia associated with fewer risks, a faster recovery and decreased costs.

If the tummy area is a consistent problem area – no matter how many sit ups you do every night – Dr. Greenberg also performs abdominal liposuction and lipoabdominoplasty (liposuction combined with a tummy tuck) to achieve a contoured silhouette.
