Specifically I'm talking about fat around the midsection.  Also I realize that simply giving blood or plasma will cause an immediate weight loss from the weight of the bood.

When you give blood the normal way without machinery you lose about a pound but don't count on keeping it off.  This is only temporary till you drink again and your body will take the opportunity to replace the fluids you lost.\n\nWhen you donate on machinery like with ALL plasma donations you can actually come out weighing more because you are being given a saline IV at the same time.\n\nThe machine I use takes out 360ml of blood from the body and returns 500ml of saline.\n\nBottom line, you will not lose weight from donating.

You are carrying potentially body fat around your ab area due to what you are eating. You need to review your foods and alcohol. Carring body fat is most dangerous around the ab area so you need to take on a better eating lifestyle. Eat quality, low GI foods, more vegies, less carbs at night & increase proteins.  \n\nRunning will provide leaner muscles not massive bulky ones but if you don't want that run with weights. Running is one of the best forms of fat burning & weight loss as is running up stairs or sand dunes. \n\nGood luck and I hope you get the results you're after.

no\nyou need a wider variety of foods in your diet.  lean meats and whole grains in addition to fruit, veg and dairy.\nIt's a terrible way to lose weight.  Your body will think it's starving and your metabolism will save every bit of energy it can get and store it as fat.\nEat frequently and eat a wide variety of foods.

My best friend had the bariatric surgery, lost tons of weight, so her parents pd for her TT as a B-day present July/Aug 04.  Had one of the best surgeons known, and damned near died!  (NOT a problem from the bariatric surgery nor the TT Doc's fault.)  Any surgery is dangerous, but the problems that can occur can be worse than the flabby tummy.  Now that she is well - loves it!  However . . .

The body has a self defense mechanism....When you "starve" yourself, your body actually thinks that....that it is starving and it will hold onto what it already has...kinda like self preservation. Don't know if you know this either, if you do start losing weight due to the "starvation" method, you're losing valuable muscle tissue...not the fat.  Fat cells NEVER go away, they just shrink, when you lose muscle, it's harder to get that back. Just be careful.  If you insist on starving yourself....PLEASE eat a banana a day.  The potassium will keep your heart running.  Trust me. Be careful!

That is fat in the blood.  It is best to eat a low fat diet, try to cut down on red meat.  Exercise will also help lower triglycerides.

You might try running or walking, but you might have to seek your Dr.s advise of know of 2 people that lost over a hundred pounds and the flab or excess skin did not shrink and they had to have it surgically removed

It does work because you don't eat any solid food. You are also drinking juices that cleanse your system. The weight you are lossing is water weight though. It is only a quick fix for a few days.

Heh - I wouldn't recommend that.  My mom did it a long time ago, when she was in a bet with some other women on whoever could lose the most weight in a given amount of time.  She won - but had to spend all the money on Preparation H because she had such bad tummy-related side effects.

Ask your MD or surgeon who performs it. My sis had it done and there were complications afterwards, but they fixed it and now she has lost more weight and she likes the results.

I don't think you can. You can reduce the appearance of it by losing weight, but it's just the result of how your fat is deposited in your body. Unless you get plastic surgery.

Your body doesn't work that way.  When you burn calories, the body loses weight in a certain order.  Same with gaining weight.  You can't lose weight in only one specific area.  You can only tone the muscles in that area, but that won't make the fat go away there.

1. Fried foods are garbage. Potato chips, French fries and onion rings are pregnant with saturated fat and calories, yet they contain zero healthy or muscle-promoting nutrients. If you're on a fat-loss plan, simply eliminate fried foods. That alone will allow you to shed lard quickly\n\n2. Drink a glass of skim milk as soon as you wake up. Some quick protein before you even step into the shower will energize you and end those morning cravings for Egg McMuffins and pastry.\n\n3. Do 2 minutes of pushups every morning. It's tough to exercise as soon as you roll out of bed, but you can burn off 21 calories a day--2 1/2 pounds in a year.\n\n\n4. Toss a quart of water in your briefcase. Water helps you burn calories--96 calories just by carrying a bottle while you walk for 20 minutes. Serve it over ice in your office and your body will burn 31 calories warming it to 98.6. Then there's the aerobic effect of all those bathroom runs.\n\n5. Want to look better naked? Try drinking half as much alcohol. Alcohol contains calories. You may drink like a fish, but booze isn't water. Even a light beer has more than 100 calories. Booze makes you store fat. Your body sees alcohol as a poison, and tries desperately to get rid of it. Your liver stops processing all other calories until it has dealt with the alcohol. So anything else you eat during the time you're drinking is more likely to end up as fat. Alcohol also lowers testosterone. With more abdominal fat, testosterone drops.

There is no way a plastic surgeon will do this.  Normally when lipo is done it isn't used to "lose weight."  It is done to "shape" the body. No insurance company will ever pay for lipo...it is cosmetic...gastric bypass on the other hand, is done because the persons life is in danger and they will die if the surgery is not done....

Forget about spot reducing a certain body part.  It doesn’t work.  A body part is too big because that is part of your body where you tend to store excess body fat.  Resistance exercising will not decrease fat in an area … it will only build the muscle that sits under the fat.  It is totally impossible to change fat into muscle.  They are two separate tissues.\n\nIf you want to make a body part smaller then you have to decrease the amount of body fat stored at that area.  To decrease body fat you need to do two things.  One: change your diet; eating a healthier diet so that the amount of calories you take in each day is less than the amount of calories you burn each day during activities.   And two:  increase the amount of calories you are burning each day by increasing your cardiovascular exercise.  Also, doing weight training exercises will help you build some muscle mass, which will help increase your resting metabolic rate, so you will burn more calories on a daily basis.

There is no such thing as "spot reduction" (ie: losing belly fat). There is no machine, exercise, diet, or magic pill that will remove the fat from just your belly area. Fat will come off from your entire body. Your midsection will be the last place you notice it coming off, but it is. You just don't see it right away because it is larger than other areas of your body.\n\nTo lose the fat from your whole body, you need to eat less, eat healthy, and exercise more. Cut back on the calories, and make most of those calories come from proteins and good carbs. Cut back on the refined sugars and fatty foods, especially trans-fat. For exercise, you don't need a magic machine. Get out and go for a walk. There are a lot of different videos you can buy and exercise in front of your TV. You can buy a set of dumbbells and a bench and do some strength training at home. Or get a gym membership and exercise there.

I only had liposuction as part of another procedure where they take fat from one part of your body and inject it into your face.\n\nThe scars from liposuction are very small and within a year, my scars were not even visible. You shouldn't expect to lose much weight from liposuction, it is more for recountoring the body to give you a better shape. You tend to lose inches rather than pounds and may find you fit into a smaller dress size.\n\nIt was a little uncomfortable because I was awake during the procedure, the only way to describe it is like a really strong stinging sensation. Afterwards you will be sore, bruised and swollen for a couple of weeks.\n\nOnce those fat cells have been removed with liposuction, although they can't return, it doesn't mean you still can't gain weight in the treated areas if you don't eat well and exercise regularly. Or sometimes you can have liposuction for one problem area and if you gain weight, you end up with too much fat gain in another area! \n\nHTH : )
