What Is Body Sculpting?

women in Atlanta, GA, and beyond are losing pounds and inches, and keeping them off for good

SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • "The older I get, the more my mid-section expands- no matter how few calories I eat or how much I exercise. I used to be able to take pounds off quickly, but now it seems for every pound I lose, two more take it's place"

  • "My husband tells me I'm getting more beautiful with age... but I find myself avoiding him seeing me without clothes. I miss the days of running around carefree in a two piece, much less feeling comfortable keeping the lights on."

  • "When I look in the mirror, I don't recognize the person I see. I used to love going shopping, but now I dread it because I'm afraid to find out what size I'll hit next."

Inspiration for Women Dealing with Menopause Weight Gain

you make the rules for your body,

not menopause…


We’ve dedicated their lives to raising kids, developing careers, caring for extended families, supporting friends – and so much more.  We pour themselves into loved ones and communities, but when we reach a season of life when we finally have the time to focus on ourselves, we fear that our best years are behind us.  Having been there, ourselves, our team firmly disagree!

Throughout women’s lives, hormones play a key role in our physique. They contribute to both pounds and inches, as well as how and where fat is distributed on our bodies.  As we enter, endure and exit menopause somewhere around our 40s, 50s and 60s, it may feel like the hormonal effect is wreaking more havoc than ever before. 

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF FAT

  • Menopausal Woman Whose Belly Fat Makes Her Look Pregnant

    Visceral Fat

    Simply put, this is the kind of fat that makes you look pregnant when you’re not.  This fat accumulates deep inside your abdomen, surrounding your organs and supporting critical bodily functions when at an appropriate amount.  When excessive visceral fat develops, it pushes out your abdominal well in that undesirable rounded fashion, leading to a “potbelly” or “beer belly” in men, and “meno belly” in women.

  • Frustrating Belly Fat That Exercise and Diet Cannot Address

    Subcutaneous Fat

    This is the fat you can pinch on the outside of your body, and it exists just below your skin.  Like visceral fat, some subcutaneous fat is necessary for healthy body function.  Unlike visceral fat, subcutaneous fat is much harder to control through diet and exercise.  Genetics largely dictate how much subcutaneous fat your body carries, although poor diet and lack of exercise can exacerbate excessive levels of subcutaneous fat.

from the inside out

Unless you’re considering gastric bypass or LapBand surgeries for significant weight loss, diet and exercise are the only ways to eliminate visceral fat. With countless diet and exercise options out there, finding the "best" one can be overwhelming. But, long-term studies show intermittent fasting is a top contender for losing and keeping off visceral fat.

Prescription diet drugs like phentermine, semaglutide, and tirzepatide are popular for rapid weight loss, including belly fat. These appetite suppressants can help you shed significant pounds quickly.

However, whether it’s surgery, pills, or shots, maintaining weight loss requires lasting diet and exercise changes. Intermittent fasting combined with these treatments can help you adopt a sustainable, healthy diet and reduce the need for ongoing prescriptions.

surgery & liposuction

Liposuction generates immediate results because it sucks fat from your body, just as a breast reduction immediately reduces breast size.  However, liposuction is a painful, invasive and expensive procedure that requires extensive recovery (drains, bandage changes, weeks of downtime) and carries the same risks as any surgery that uses general anesthesia.

Use of heat-based therapies to kill fat cells shows some success, but the human body cannot endure the pain of the level of heat necessary to effectively use heat to permanently kill fat cells.
