Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology

ArianneUpdated on March 13, 2019March 12, 2019

Hold up… Fat Freezing Procedure just got a new spin! Instead of just freezing; Contrast Contouring adds heat and variable vacuum pressure; which combines to offer improved fat loss and far less bruising. Interesting.

Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology

KATY, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fat freezing technology is in its infancy; yet it already has had some incredible advances in the never ending search for fat loss. The original method of freezing body fat, called Cryolipolysis; starts by freezing the fat cells in a treated area down to 12.2° for 35 minutes under a constant vacuum. This method, according to the National Institute of Health has life-long results.

Furthermore, the National Institute of Health reported, “In clinical studies; cryolipolysis was shown to reduce fat at the treatment site by up to 25% after one treatment. Improvements were seen in 86% of treated subjects. At 73%, the patient satisfaction rate is higher than with other technologies used for noninvasive lipolysis. Cryolipolysis has been proven to be a very safe method for body contouring”.

Fat Freezing Procedure: “Contrast Contouring”-The Newest Breakthrough Technology (Continued)

Just in the last year, Your Best Body Today joined the fight by bringing Contrast Contouring to market which adds heat, a variable vacuum and a lower retail cost. The process starts by increasing the temperature to 107° which adds fluid in the fat cells. After 4 minutes, it freezes the area down to 12.2° crystalizing the fat membrane which damages the cell. This process repeats four times per hour. Variable vacuum was also added to this technology which raises and lowers the vacuum pressure during the session, decreasing bruising substantially.

It all boils down to the same question, does it really work? The National Institute of Health thinks so, “Several studies in humans have shown comparable results. One study published in 2009 involving ten subjects reported a 20.4% and 25.5% reduction in the fat layer 2 months and 6 months after treatment, respectively. More recently, a retrospective multicenter study using patient surveys, photographic documentation, and caliper measurements, was published by Dierickx. These investigators reported that 86% of 518 subjects showed improvement.”

In conclusion, fat freezing works, it’s safe and with the advancement of technology, Contrast Contouring is leading the fight against unwanted fat. The 40+ age group couldn’t thank you enough. I’m finally going to get my body back.

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life!

ArianneUpdated on February 1, 2019January 31, 2019

Beyoncé put out one post and she already has fans shoveling in grass. Okay, that is a little drastic, but the point is that many are now willing to give a vegan diet a try. The GreenPrint Project is a “system” that was created to help people get healthier and in turn sexier by turning to a plant based diet.

As a result, Beyoncé and her hubby, Jay Z are challenging their fans to consume better foods. Both Bey and Jay have been apt vegan dieters and the results are in the vegan pudding. When Queen Bey slims ALL THE WAY down this is the diet secret she uses. Therefore, if it is good enough for the queen, now we all can finally have the body of a celebrity… without the knife or needle.

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life

So then, how does this all work? Marco Borges, the trainer of Beyoncé and Jay Z; and the mastermind behind GreenPrint Project briefly summarizes it this way,

“The Greenprint is a program for a health transformation. It is also a blueprint for plant-based eating. And, yes, it is vegan, but with a difference.

You don’t have to change every item in your diet. Start with one change like meatless dinners and build on that. The road to well-being starts with making informed decisions that will help you shop, cook, eat and feel better.

Did you know? The best sources of protein are plant based; like beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Love food that loves you back. Love food that will give you health and vitality.”

Want to take the plunge so that you can win some Bey tickets? Well, to get started all you need is a positive attitude, determination, 22 days; along with Marcos Borges 22 Day Nutrition Program. Acook book that tells you everything you have to do.

Yes, you will need to be firmly dedicated for 22 days straight. Why? Well, Borges is utilizing the proven technique that it takes 22 days to make something a habit. So in 22 days you will be more in the swing of things when it comes to eating vegan. So much so you may never go back.

Furthermore, the online 22 Days Meal Planner (which comes as a $14 monthly subscription, so we are not referring to the book in this case); comes with meal plans, assistance and even a food delivery option if you live in certain areas. This will no doubt help you to stay on track and focused on reaching your goal.

Our next post will be pretty in-depth when it comes to the nutrition plan. So if you are really wanting to try this out be sure to read it.

Besides the 22 day plan, picking of The GreenPrint Project book itself will be very helpful. What’s inside? The GreenPrint Project page had this to say,

“The most revolutionary plant-based lifestyle is here! With meal plans, more than 60 delicious recipes; step-by-by guidelines; and inspirational success stories; the book will forever change your approach to food and your perspective on health.”

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life (Continued)

However, one quick word on the free concerts for life. Yes, the contest is very real. To enter you must sign up online at www.thegreenprintproject.com and pledge to give the vegan lifestyle a try. Must be 18 years and older, plus be a U.S. resident.

If you do win you can expect one free concert per tour. Lastly, the free concerts will only be for up to 30 years. So kinda not quite a lifetime (LOL); BUT, that places Bey and Jay in their 70s-80s so you probably will not miss much.

Well, worry no more about low hanging, unsupported melons; because Reebok believes they have the perfect solution, the Reebok PureMove Sports Bra.

Reebok Pure Move Sports Bra -“Second Skin” Support for the Girls

Nevertheless, we repeat, what makes this bra so much better then other ones currently on the market? Reebok explains,

“Forty years after the first sports bra was invented, Reebok is changing the game with the release of PureMove. What makes PureMove so different? Designed to feel like a second skin, PureMove is comprised of just 7 pieces of flexible, breathable material.

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean

ArianneUpdated on September 7, 2018September 6, 2018

Getting stronger but not bigger IS possible, and we have the photo evidence to prove it! PLUS… did you know there is a major factor that will determine if you will bulk up at all? Actually, there are several and we are going to tell you about all of them. So then, put aside any hesitancy or reservations you may have about picking up a weight; because now it’s time to learn how to lift and stay lean!

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean

As we have all been taught, it is true … that “seeing is believing.” One of the many fears us girls have when it comes to lifting, is that we are going to put on a dress for date night and resemble Arnold’s The Terminator. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

As a result, we thought that the best way for you to believe anything we are about to tell you about lifting; is if you can see what it really does with your own eyes. Sound good? Awesome, then keep scrolling to see 7 great examples of famous women who lift regularly.

Example Number One

Who: Supermodel and Victoria’s Secret alumni, Lais Ribeiro

Example Number Two

Who: Social media/Reality and developing music artist, India Westbrooks

Example Number Three

Who: Top model and Victoria’s Secret Angel, Jasmine Tookes

Example Number Four

Who: Model, fashion designer and reality superstar, Draya Michele

Example Number Five

Who: Instagram influencer and fitness guru, Massy Arias

Now here’s where the proof is really in the pudding. Remember how we said even when you get older lifting can do you a major favor? Not only are these next drop dead gorgeous ladies both moms; but they straight outdo chicks half their age! Presenting Halle Berry and Nicole Murphy!

Example Number Six

Who: Actress, on screen siren and Academy Award Winner, Halle Berry

Example Number Seven

Who: Model and fitness enthusiast and app owner, Nicole Murphy

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean (Continued)

So then, did you notice anything about the above women? You know, other than they all have amazing bodies that would even look fabulous in a paper sack? Hopefully you took note that they all are still THIN and are very TONED thanks to LIFTING.

Yes, lifting isn’t an enemy. In fact, it can not only help you lose weight, but keep it off. Muscle burns fat. Time and time again science has proven that when you exercise you are using your muscle groups.

The more you use them the more opportunity to build muscle mass. The resulting muscle tissue will burn more calories, even when you are at rest! According to some research and studies, even 10 pounds of muscle would burn an additional 50 calories in a day spent at rest.

While on the contrast, 10 pounds of fat would burn only 20 calories. That is over 50% less of a calorie burn. So then, which would you rather work to have more fat or more muscle?

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger

Here is where working hard to gain more lean muscle comes into play. If you are able to maintain your muscle mass you will most likely find yourself in the group of people who keep from gaining weight as they get older. However, to maintain your muscle mass you will need to strength train. There is no way or shortcut around it; AND doing only cardio will not do it for you either.

Nevertheless, knowing all of that is wonderful, but if you do not do it out of fear of becoming “bulky” you will do yourself a major disservice. Oftentimes, the bulkiness look occurs when one is eating way too much while lifting weights. A lot of guys do this method in order to look “bigger.” However, it really boils down to one having excess body fat. While a calorie deficit will help you lose excess, when strength training you should never go below a 25% calorie deficit; or you may jeopardize your training from not being able to sustain your diet/workout routine.

If you are someone trying to be leaner the goal should be to add muscle without excess size. This can be achieved by stopping one or two reps before failure. Meaning before you literally cannot do another rep. If you push the muscle past failure and fatiguing you will encourage the muscle to add size. Therefore, your focus should be on gaining more strength while avoiding failure in order to build a more firm as well as dense looking muscle.

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up

ArianneUpdated on July 10, 2018July 10, 2018

STOP! If you lift weights you are going to bulk up!!! Unfortunately, that is the fitness myth women have been scaring and passing along to other women for decades. The truth is if you desire to be a lean mass gainer; it is not how much you’re lifting, but rather how you are lifting it.

You see, the truth about toning is that heavy weights help you to not only gain more strength; but also require less cardio and maintain moderate fat loss. A goal that many ladies aiming to be thinner would like to achieve. However, that is not how most go about.

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up

We all have done it… crash diets, excessive amounts of cardio and trying out the latest record breaking fat-burning workout. Yet, these types of methods are not always to keep up in the long run. Many of us have the power to dig deep within to keep up for bit, but then find ourselves back at square one again. So what’s the answer?

To be leaner, you have to do what it truly encompasses then take the right actions that will get lean and remain that way. So then, to begin with it’s important to know what does it mean to have a lean body mass.

Lean body mass is basically a calculation of taking your total body weight and subtracting body fat weight. It’s the mass of the body minus the storage lipid otherwise known as fat. Or in real super basic terms, it is the amount of weight you carry on your body that is not fat.

The goal many women have is to keep their lean body mass while dropping your body fat percentage down. As the fat falls away they will look leaner and very toned. So how can this be done?

Girl Fitness: How to be a Lean Mass Gainer Without Bulking Up (Continued)

Training with heavier weights will help to develop actual muscle. Now if your end goal is tone up and decrease fat, it is highly recommended to stop one or two reps before hitting muscle failure. If you push past muscle failure and come to fatigue the muscle then you will most likely add size.

For a bodybuilder that’s awesome news! Nevertheless, for most of us that is not our fitness goals. We want the tone without minus the bulk. So it’s all about pushing yourself, but not going all the way to complete muscle fatigue.

Lastly, always remember that fat loss is dependent upon consistency. Allow us to repeat that. If you want to experience steady and sustainable fat loss you have to be consistent.

Stop and go may work for traffic on the streets, but it works havoc on any weight loss or fitness plan. Therefore, truly commit to your goals and yourself. You owe to YOU to become everything you want to be and should you. Anything is possible and you can do it because now you have the real secret to being a lean mass gainer!
