Whether it is beach body season, or the week before a big event, we have all wanted to know how to lose weight fast. This desire for instant results is comonly capitalized upon by the weight loss industry. But many of us have learned (the hard way) that crazy diets and insane workouts may help us lose weight, that weight is usually not fat. And it does not lead to the slimmer, more sculpted appearance we are trying for.
For those really wanting to know how to lose weight fast, there are some treatments scientifically proven to reduce fat, providing natural looking, long lasting results. But to understand how these fat reduction treatments work, and why they are far superior to extreme/unrealistic diet and exercise options, it is important to understand how the body stores fat in the first place.
Losing weight vs. Reducing Fat
There is a big difference between weight loss and fat reduction. Your body stores fat inside fat cells. The amount of fat cells stored in your body remains fixed. When your body gains weight, it does not create more fat cells. It simply expands those fat cells to accomodate the added fat. When your body loses weight, it does not get rid of fat cells. The fat cells simply shrink as the body burns off some of the fat stored in those cells.

Fat reduction refers to cosmetic treatments that actually remove a portion of fat cells from your body. The most popular fat reduction treatment is Liposuction. During liposuction a surgeon creates an incision to insert a canula (a sharp tube) that breaks up fat cells and suctions them out of the body. Why liposuction is effective, many men and women are turned off by the invasive nature of the procedure (general anesthesia, scalpel, stitches, and lengthy recovery times.)
Fortunately modern advances have introduced non-invasive fat reduction techniques, that eliminate stubborn fat cells from the body without surgery or down time.

Fat Reduction with CoolSculpting
If you want to know how to lose weight fast with CoolSculpting. Stop. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment. It’s a fat reduction treatment. It will not reduce fat fast, but it will remove it for good. CoolSculpting uses advanced cooling technology to freeze stubborn fat cells to death. Once frozen, the lymphatic systems collects the destroyed fat cells and processes them out of the body in the form of waste. This natural process known as Cryolipolysis can take 12-16 weeks to complete. But once finished, results look natural and are long lasting.
