Fit into your favourite party dress(es) this Christmas

Posted Thursday November 12th, 2020

With COVID still looming and chances of travel narrowed down to zilch this year-end, it makes sense to channel all your excitement towards Christmas and New Year’s countdown. With 7 more weeks to go, now would be about the right time to get started on your weight loss goals to fit into your favourite party dresses, if that’s what you’re after.

Here are our doctor-approved weight loss aides to get you started.

#1 The Skinny Jab

The Skinny Jab using Saxenda is here to fast track your weight loss goals. Ideal for those with a BMI over 25, this daily injectable works by mimicking glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) to help regulate hunger. This in turn leads to lower calorie consumption and accelerated weight loss. For better results, it’s recommended that you stick to a 1,500 calorie diet a day, reduce your intake of processed carbohydrates such as rice, sugar and bread, and engage in at least 120 minutes of moderate exercise per week, which could include walking, stationary cycling or jogging.

#2 Coolshape

Target and get rid of fat in localised areas with the help of Coolshape, a painless and non-invasive fat busting body treatment that uses cold to diminish fat. The device is applied to the target area, with the temperature of the area reduced to the right coldness to target the fat cells and the whole procedure takes an average of 1 to 2 hours per session.

Coolshape is ideal for those who are already in relatively good shape with stubborn pockets of fat that do not go away despite conscientious dieting and exercising. The end result is an improved body contour with the curves in all the right places.

#3 Magnetic Muscle Sculpting

If you are already actively exercising but would like to improve the appearance of muscle tone in a shorter amount of time (for a sexier midriff maybe?) Magnetic Muscle Sculpting using Functional Magnetic Stimulation might just be for you. Painless and comfortable, each session merely requires you to lay back and let the machine do the work by having the magnetic waves reach deep into the muscle groups to stimulate contractions.

For this to work effectively, it’s important that your body is in ideal weight range and your fat percentage is low.
