DIET AND OBESITY – NEWER METHODS OF FAT REMOVAL
Newer methods of fat removal include the technique of suction. A small incision is made and the fat from the abdomen or thighs is removed.
Gastric stapling involves an operation to reduce the size of the stomach so that only small meals can be taken.
Before this is considered the person usually has to be grossly overweight and to have failed to lose weight by conventional means. The older bypass operation where the upper small bowel was joined to the lower bowel led to malabsorption and so weight loss but was subject to a great deal of complications, with deficiencies of vitamins and minerals.
To lose weight you need to eat less than required and so burn up some of your reserve. When you have reached your ideal weight, you can increase intake to match output and your weight will stay the same.
You can also lose weight by doing more exercise. Many people have been discouraged because they read that it takes a lot of effort to rid the body of fat in this way. This is true. You need to walk 48 kilometres to burn up a half kilo of fat.
