P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Liposculpture: Benefits and Risks of Weight Loss Surgery

By Pier Montague

Cosmetic surgery is an extremely popular procedure performed in the USA and across the world. Americans alone seek nearly 400,000 liposculpture treatments each year! Liposculpture, also commonly referred to as liposuction, is the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure performed. The treatments vary depending on the body part but all have one thing in common: taking fat out of the body that the patient doesn't want. This could be from the arms, thighs, waist, and even facial area of the patient.

One of the first things a surgeon will mention, and rightly so, is that this is not a simply weight loss method and should absolutely not be used in place of actual exercise and eating a healthy diet. Surgery carries real risk, and this certainly includes cosmetic surgery.

The amount of fat that is removed through liposculpture will vary depending on the decision of the doctor upon close examination of and consultation with the patient. But typically, for the procedure to be safe the amount of fat taken away should be less than 5 kg or 10 pounds. Removing too much fat will produce undesirable results.

Removing too much fat can increase the well known risk of the body having strange dents or bumps in the skin. (However, note that this can even happen if a "safe" amount of fat was removed.) The care taken in using a proper anesthetic as well as the health of the person coming into the procedure all greatly effect to the safety, or risk, of surgery. One example of how this works is smoking. Doctors are going to tell you that you should not smoke for many weeks or preferably even months before coming in for treatment.

If a patient is careful to observe all their doctor recommendations before going in for surgery, they are more likely to reap the benefits than others. The biggest benefit, of course, is shedding those unwanted pounds of fat! Beyond this though, body contouring can go along way in improving the appearance of the legs, waist, and so on. Additionally, liposculpture can also help remove cellulite.

Remember though that these effects do not happen all at once. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after surgery to see the total benefits of the procedure manifest in the body. In this time, the body might look strange due to swelling or numbing. That being the case though, most people can return to their daily life within a week of having received treatments.
