La Weight Loss Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkShe's spent the past month working hard on her body after overhauling her diet and fitness regime.
And although she's not yet reached her end goal, the American TV presenter is clearly thrilled with the results so far
The photos come after La La gave fans a sneak peak of the shoot on her Instagram account.
The reality star, whose show La La's Full Court Life's third season ended on Monday, tweeted on Friday that she was on day 35 of her 60 day weight loss regime.
The mother-of-one has rapper The Game to thank for her 20lbs weight loss.
Opting for a more classic look for her final snap, the Flavor of Love host donned a black one-piece swimsuit with open slashes clearly showing bare skin across the mid-riff and left side of her chest.
Her newfound confidence was inspired by rapper The Game who recently transformed his body as a part of a New Year's resolution.
The 6ft 4in recording artist turned his slightly soft physique into hard slabs of lean muscle within two months - just in time for his projected goal of being fit for Valentine's Day.
This is confusing, no doubt. Both mention that cellulite is basically fat, and that the skin has lost some elasticity which leads to the dimpled effect, and that is true, but they give the impression that cellulite cannot be removed from a good diet and exercise program. Instead, they offer their own remedies that I believe can be misleading, and I will address those later.
First of all, the fat that lies under the skin is simply subcutaneous fat. It is the same fat that can be found around the arms, upper back, legs, and stomach. The doctor quoted above that says this kind of fat cannot be used as energy in relation the visceral fat (I wrote about this type of fat here) is telling a half truth. Visceral fat is the most active fat, meaning it is drawn into the bloodstream first and fastest for energy, but for longer term energy needs (such as a chronic daily calorie shortage), the body does call on subcutaneous fat. It is no different than that of a man trying to lose the last bit of fat around the waist. He has to be committed to a diet and exercise regime for a long time to see his the definition in his midsection. There is no difference between abdominal fat and cellulite.
Secondly, I agree with the above experts in that the skin is part of the problem. Women, in general, have thinner skin than men do, and I believe that the estrogen women have tends to break the collagen fibers down. The fat then pushes up against the weakened fibers, creating the cottage cheese look. There is one other plausible explanation I would like to display:
As we age, however, the normally elastic septa can become hard and rigid. When they do, they bear down on the buoyant cellulite cells, which begin pushing up through the spaces of the hardened septa pattern.
"When the septa run vertically, it results in a 'mattress tufting' effect,'" Katz tells WebMD. "The fat cells push up in between and create those dimples we know as cellulite."
To further expand on this point, the septa run diagonally on men, whereas on women it runs vertically. In any case, it seems the fibers break down, or spread in women which creates the pockets. This is another reason why you do not see much cellulite on men like you do on women.
Questionable Remedies
As one can expect, there are many remedies that claim to get rid of cellulite. Now that we are a bit more clear as to the cause of cellulite, let us take a critical look at some of these remedies to see if they can really work.
Creams and lotions.The logic behind the use of creams and lotions is that these products can melt fat away, stimulate cell circulation, and get rid of toxins. I can tell you this: fat does not "melt away". Fat is simply stored calories. If you have fat around your thighs, you need to lower your calories and move more to start getting rid of the fat there. Remember, visceral fat is used for energy first, so you need to be committed to a good diet and exercise program for quite a while to see fat loss. As for cell stimulation, how can they prove that? And what kind of cells? Fat cells? Skin cells? Muscle cells? The same goes for toxins. Do women accumulate different types of toxins than men? If not, why do toxins cause cellulite on women, but not men? This claim does not make sense. I find these claims dubious. I would not put much faith in lotions doing what these experts say they would do.
High Tech Massage. According to Web Md, this is how it works: "The procedure is known as endermologie -- a deep mechanical massage that combines cylindrical rollers and suction to affect the skin's connective tissue, stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and trigger what the developers say is the body's natural system for eliminating fat from cells". The author goes on to explain that it does work, but the results are temporary. One would need a monthly maintenance program to keep it under control at a cost of $300.00 to $500.00 a month. I find it hard to believe that simply massaging your muscles will make the fat disappear. There is 3,600 calories to a pound of fat, so massaging it will not get rid of it. The body needs to use it as energy to lose it.
Light devices. Light devices are supposed to work by "using light energy to melt cellulite while mechanically massaging the skin to increase circulation and encourage drainage of lymph vessels". This is yet another claim that cellulite can be removed without exercise.
Diet. There is merit here. Good nutrition will help the skin repair and grow, and proper nutrition can keep your calorie intake in alignment with calorie expenditure. It does not have to be complicated or draconian to work. Good common sense will go a long way. I will give greater detail about how to accomplish this below.
Exercise. Yes, this is very important indeed. In my opinion, you cannot lose cellulite without it. More on that later.
