I'm 55 pounds overweight and I've never exercised. Can Liposculpting help me?

Metropolitan MD
If your weight is stable, then...absolutely! Tumescent Liposculpture is a procedure that safely allows us to remove large enough volumes of fat from patients to dramatically change the shape and proportions of their figures. On the other hand, liposculpture is not a weight loss procedure. While Dr. Lack cannot make a large-framed individual look petite, we can achieve harmony and balance by restoring graceful lines and symmetry to a patient's figure.

Yoga can benefit kids just as much as it helps adults.

In 1998, the National Heart Lung Blood Institute released new guidelines for determining overweight and obesity. They developed the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a measurement tool. In simple terms, it is a ratio of height to weight. BMI is a reliable indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death. The score is valid for both men and women but it does have some limitations: BMI charts are available online at www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi.

Are there any other ways to find out whether I'm overweight/overfat?

I Overweight
If you're overweight you probably already know it, but there are a couple of indicators that can let you know whether your weight increases your risk for health problems like heart disease. Waist-to-hip ratio is a useful indicator, and is simple to determine. Stand in front of a full-length mirror so that you can easily see the areas you are measuring. Use a tape measure to measure your waist circumference at the level of your navel. Next, measure your hip circumference at its widest point.

I am overweight. Can any of your products or programs help me with this?

Thyroid Health - FAQ
Yes, in my experience, the Thyroid & Hormone Regeneration Program can help people to lose weight if they are currently "over-weight". Permanent weight loss is not readily possible when thyroid function is low. I believe this is why so many people that are over-weight find it so hard to lose weight even when they completely restrict their diet.

Why Am I Overweight?

Chubby FAQ
Kids become overweight for a variety of reasons. The most common causes are genetic factors, lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these. In rare cases, a medical problem, such as an endocrine disorder, may cause a child to become overweight. Your doctor can perform a careful physical exam and some blood tests, if necessary, to rule out this type of problem.

Why am I so exercised about this?

John Hawks Anthropology Weblog : 2007
The reason, at least in my mind, is that science is never unanimous. Consensus itself is a meaningless concept in science. Even a crank can be right, if his predictions come true. Science depends on the concept of testability, which in my mind makes it the most special system of knowledge ever devised. It is good that science is conservative, and it is good that it is slow, because both these things contribute to claims being tested properly.

Where do I start if I have never exercised?

Frequently Asked Questions About Exercise and Fitness
If you're new to exercise, or have struggled with it in the past, talk with your doctor about your exercise plans. After that, start by incorporating more activity into your daily life. For instance: If your habit is to eat at your desk, take a 10- to 20-minute walk first, then have your lunch (or take a walk after you eat). Instead of watching TV all day Saturday and Sunday, plan active weekends. Go to the park, take a walking tour, ride your bike, or row a boat.
