One of the most popular ways to boost your fat loss in addition to proper nutrition guidelines is to get liposuction. The process involves eliminating fat from the body and reshaping the body, improving your fat distribution.
However, it’s essential to know that the fat will not magically disappear forever. Your results will be reversed if you don’t follow the proper dietary guidelines post surgery. In order to maintain your liposuction results, you will need to maintain your weight.
Therefore, if you’ve recently gotten lipo, or are considering having it done, here are the do’s and dont’s for eating following the procedure.
Watch Your Calorie Intake
If you’re the type of person who never really watches their calories, then now is an excellent time to start. In order to keep an eye on your weight, you’ll need to have a handle on your incoming and outgoing calories.
It may be a good idea to download an app which will help you monitor everything that you eat. It’s as simple as scanning the barcode of your food, and it will automatically deduct from your daily calorie allowance.
There are thousands of foods on calorie counting app databases, so chances are you’ll find what you’re eating. Otherwise, it’s simple to input the calories that you eat manually.
Throughout the day you can see how close you are to reaching your limit. If you want the option of “earning” more calories, then you may want to invest in an activity tracker, like a Fitbit, which will show you how much you burn.
Avoid Unhealthy Foods
Sugary and highly processed foods are bad enough as it is. However, when you’re trying to maintain your results from liposuction which you paid a pretty penny for, it’s even more crucial to avoid these foods.
It’s in your best interest to avoid the culprits of weight gain as much as possible. Therefore, try to limit your intake of highly processed foods, foods high in sugar, and saturated fats. Focus on getting your calories from mostly plant-derived foods and lean meats.
Not only will you be able to eat more, but you’ll burn it faster.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water doesn’t just encourage your body to function at it’s best. Hydration will also help you digest, control your hunger levels, and keep your skin looking fresh.
It’s a good idea to try to keep a bottle of water next to you all day. Without having to think about it, you’ll start taking sips instinctively.
Many people believe that they feel an increased sense of energy as well. When you are dehydrated, your energy levels drop, your immune system runs low, and you may be more prone to snacking. Drink up!
