Liposuction Is Not A Solution For Obesity

Liposuction is an effective technique for fat removal, but it is not a solution for obesity. Extremely obese individuals incapable of losing weight through regular techniques will not benefit from liposuction.

The ideal candidates for liposuction are in good health, exercise regularly and are not more than 20 pounds overweight. People with very localized, exercise-resistant fatty deposits may obtain the best results.

Always consult with a qualified physician before under going liposuction surgery.

FDA Expands List of Weight Loss Products Considered Unsafe

The FDA put out a report at the end of 2008 in regards to 28 different weight-loss products. This new expansion of that list increased the number of products all the way up to 72.

These new products which have been added to the list contain active pharmaceutical ingredients which may be unsafe, and have been undeclared.

The products added to the list include Harbal Xenicol, Xsvelten, and others.

These were revealed in a nationwide alert as they have been found to contain ingredients that had not been revealed to the FDA prior to them going to market.

These pharmaceutical ingredients the FDA was unaware of consist of cetilistat, fluoxetine, and others. These active ingredients are all from drugs that have not been approved in the United States.

These dietary supplements could cause harm to the health of consumers

Meghan McCain Tells Weight Critics To “Kiss My Fat Ass!”

Meghan McCain is sick of the debate about her weight.

After the 24-year-old daughter of U.S. Senator and former GOP presidential hopeful John McCain criticized Anne Coulter and other conservatives in an online column, political commentator Laura Ingraham heckled her on her radio show last week.

Ingraham tore into Meghan McCain as “just another Valley Girl gone awry,” and even went on to mock McCain in a faux Valley Girl voice, saying that she didn’t get a “role in the Real World” because “they don’t like plus-sized models.”

Meghan McCain

Ouch. Hitting back on The View on March 16, Meghan McCain said she can’t believe Ingraham went after her weight instead of actually talking about the issues.

“What do young women think when I speak my mind about politics, and I want to have a political discussion about the ideological future of the Republican party, and the answer is, ‘she’s fat, she shouldn’t have an opinion?’” she said.
“What kind of message are we sending young women? … It infuriates me. I’m a political writer on a blog, and all of a sudden I’m too fat to write?”

“I couldn’t possibly imagine how any woman could criticize another woman’s weight. I work out at the gym and try and eat healthy, but I’m still a size 8.”

Enduring taunts about her body since she was in grade school, Meghan McCain – a vocal campaign supporter of her dad last year – said she is fed up.

“Why are we so obsessed with weight?” she said.

“When Tyra Banks went on her show in her bathing suit and said, ‘Kiss my fat ass…’ That’s what I feel right now. I’m like, ‘Kiss my fat ass!’”

Added McCain, “There is no place for weight criticism in 2009.”

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite are fat deposits that tend to form in the deep subcutaneous layers of our skin. It has a lumpy, dimply, appearance that looks somewhat like cottage cheese or orange peel. Cellulite first appears after we go through puberty and it is documented that between 80 and 90% of women will develop cellulite. It is found on our hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen and is very rarely found on men.

Cellulite can also form when our bodies go through other hormonal changes such as pregnancy, while on birth control pills and also during menopause. A woman’s hormones are usually responsible for the regulation of blood flow, fat, connective tissue and for lymphatic drainage.
One does not have to be overwight to have cellulite. It can also occur in thin women as well. There appears to be a genetic predisposition to having cellulite.

You can find cellulite doctors & specialists who offer mesotherapy, VelaShape, and other cellulite treatment information.

Kelly Clarkson Weight Gain Rumors

Kara DioGuardi interviews Kelly Clarkson – See Video

First of all, we love Kelly Clarkson. She is probably one of the most talented performers to come from American Idol. After Kelly Clarkson’s recent appearances on American Idol and SNL, bloggers called her fat and wondered if she was pregnant. YouTube viewers posted pictures of her “baby bump” as evidence.

Given that Kelly Clarkson is relatively private about her personal life, perhaps bloggers have nothing better to do than to discuss her weight. Other celebrities have suffered similar scrutiny. Jessica Simpson fell under scrutiny when pictures of her “mama jeans” and newly plump figure caused bloggers to speculate about reasons for her sudden weight gain. Yet discussion seemed to die out after a few weeks of healthy diet and exercise helped Jessica Simpson to regain her formerly slender physique.

Is Kelly Clarkson pregnant? After Kelly Clarkson appeared on American Idol last time, many are left wondering is Kelly Clarkson pregnant? Just because Kelly Clarkson is not stick thin America automatically assumes she is pregnant. I do not believe she is pregnant or has any intentions of getting pregnant anytime soon. Kelly Clarkson gave an interview to USA today and stated the fact she did not want any children. When asked about wanting children she said “Oh, my God, I have no desire.” This article was just published on March 8, 2009, I think that confirms the fact Kelly Clarkson is not pregnant.

Kelly Clarkson says she has never felt pressure to be thin.”I feel very fortunate coming from American Idol,” she tells Kara DioGuardi in an interview from Entertainment Tonight. “I was the biggest girl in the group. I’ve always been thicker and millions of people voted for me,” she continues. “People are born all different shapes and sizes. People have liked me this way .” Clarkson performed her hit “My Life Would Suck Without You” on Idol Wednesday night. Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted, hit stores on Tuesday.So what would Clarkson be up to if she wasn’t discovered on Idol?”If I wasn’t a singer, I’d be broke, because I have no other talent,” she jokes.

Not everyone is a size 2. Please leave Kelly alone!

Smart Lipo and Laser Liposuction In Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona

Dr Kulbhushan Sharma, M.D., F.A.C.S. , is Arizona’s West Valley premier Smartlipo (Smart Lipo) and liposuction surgeon. Dr Sharma is located in the Phoenix Glendale AZ area.  His other areas of expertise include Thermage, Botox & fillers and vein treatments specializing in the removal of spider veins and varicose veins.

Dr. Sharma is a board certified general surgeon who received his training in General Surgery from Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, affiliated to Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Upon completion, he continued his training under the world-famous Dr. Edward B. Diethrich at the Arizona Heart Institute. Dr. Sharma is included in the 2009 ‘top surgeons of america’ consumer research council.

Smart Lipo™ Laser was approved by the FDA in November, 2006. Smartlipo™ is a fiberoptic laser system, when inserted under the skin with the help of a tiny 1.0mm cannula, it melts the fat cells, tightens and tones the skin, and then liquefies the fat which is then removed completely out of the body with a tiny aspiration tube. Tightening and smoothing of the skin occurs on contact upon stimulating collagen growth. As the laser interacts with the epidermis, it causes the skin above to tighten and shrink in size, giving the treatment area a smooth, toned appearance. This procedure does not require any stitches, but only very tiny incisions that heal on their own. It is performed under local anesthesia while the patient is fully AWAKE. The procedure is minimally invasive and some discomfort is expected. Patients will be asked to wear support garments for 2-4 weeks depending on the specific need.

Smartlipo™ is excellent for small areas such as: under the chin, jowls, outer thighs, neck, underarms (wings), male breasts, inner thighs, bra fat, love handles, arms, etc. The time required for the procedure is 40 minutes to one hour.

Jessica Simpson Back In Her Daisy Dukes

March 9, 2009, 9:42 AM EST

Entertainment Tonight

It’s been said that looking great is the best revenge.

Jessica Simpson performed just last night at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL. Without a word to her critics for a weight debate that caused her sister Ashlee to blog her disgust at the reports, Jessica strutted across the stage in short Daisy Dukes.

The singer took a bashing on several blogs after being snapped in an unflattering outfit earlier this year. She later addressed the controversy by thanking a concert crowd in Charlottesville, VA, for their support. “Stay positive,” she added, “and pray out loud.”
