Omaha Fat Loss : Surgery, Drugs, and Bootcamps - Oh My!

If you do a google search for Omaha fat loss, what will you see? Doctor's offices, med-spas with the latest drugs, and bootcamps. Or even worse, there are those "medically supervised" programs that sell you all their over-priced "supplements" and keep you on a starvation diet. Call me crazy (wouldn't be the first time) but isn't there anything better than this?

I would applaud anyone who wants to lose weight in Omaha, of course. I do understand the despair and depression that women can feel when struggling with weight issues. But liposuction is definitely not a great answer. Weight loss surgery is an incredibly invasive approach (I don't care if they put "non-invasive" in the commercials.) that does nothing more than treat the symptoms and not the cause. I have a friend that did it years ago. First of all, she did NOT need it. I wonder at the ethics of that. What small amount of fat she had removed came flying right back. Then she paid more attention to her diet and she's remained her trim self since. She never needed to fork over $6K for that.

HCG is the next big thing now. I don't pretend to understand it in detail, but I do know that originally this treatment had a dietary protocol that was not optional. I wonder if that is being followed nowadays. I haven't heard mention of it.

That leaves us with the bootcamps. I'm not anti-bootcamp at all, actually, but I know (being a trainer myself) how hard it is for people to get to the trainings consistently. And my only complaint would be that many are sorely lacking any nutritional guidance or accountability. I've personally been guilty of the faulty thinking, "I worked out. I can eat whatever I want." HA! Maybe in my twenties. If you are a woman in your 40s or 50s, though, forget it. Bummer, I know.

I truly feel that Omaha fat loss needs to incorporate an integrative approach. Powerful, quick muscle-building workouts, healthful dietary habit development, flexible scheduling, accountability and support, and even relaxation training. All of these factors together create a foundation for lasting healthy lifestyle, not just fat loss.
