We’ve all heard the old saying that success breeds success. Translate that wisdom into dieting and any diet that promotes quick weight loss should bed successful, right? Wrong. Many of the weight loss plans and fads promise a success that is, at best fleeting, and often times unattainable.

There are all kinds of pills, creams, plans, equipment, and more that promise to melt fat off your body, build muscle, and much more with minimal time investment on your part. Usually accompanied by videos or testimonials from people who really “did it” are designed by marketing professionals that know exactly how to get people to buy in.

The bottom line is, quick weight loss is most definitely possible, but you not only have to be dedicated to finding or developing a sound diet and regular exercise regimen, you also have to use some common sense. While separating fact from fiction, remember that weight is not gained overnight, nor is it lost.

Myth #1 – Low fat or no fat is always better. This is a great big lie. There are certain kinds of fat that are good for you. Good fats you should include in your diet are olive oil, real butter, avocados, and nuts. Some bad fats to avoid are margarine, canola oils, and all hydrogenated oils.

Sugar or a product based on sugar is the main substitute for the fat that is replaced in fat free products. Sugar is not good for losing weight or fat. So, a good rule of thumb if your real intent is to lose weight and you don’t want to or you’re tired of spending money on the latest fad diet, is to read nutritional labels and monitor the amount of sugar and sugar substitutes you consume.

Myth #2 – Similar to the first myth, minimize the consumption of diet soda because it has artificial sweetener, which has been proven to promote weight gain. If you “require” sweetener in your drink, try a good honey or pure cane sugar, but focus mainly on drinking plenty of water and tea.

Liposuction dangers are often not considered thoroughly enough before procedures are scheduled. This is often because the surgery has been around long enough that it has fallen into the common elective category and we expect good results. It is still a drastic method of handling excess body fat and you should always check into the potential for side effects and dangerous results before proceeding.

Infection is a serious risk with any type of surgery, whether it is elective or not. Reactions and poor responses to anesthesia are also more common than one might think. There are accidental overdoses, accidental under-doses, and unanticipated systemic reactions that can cause severe problems or death.

The act of sucking out fat from inside the body is a risky one. Your doctor needs to allow ample time to pass between multiple surgeries and he or she needs to ensure that there is enough fat and fluid left in the body. Sagging skin can be a mere cosmetic problem while fat and blood clots can travel through your system and lead to much more serious life threatening complications.

You are going to naturally lose a certain amount of your body’s fluids when the procedure is done. The excessive loss of fluid, however, is likely to result in shock or death. Damage to the major and vital organs can also be one of the less common but more severe side effects of having the surgery done. A newer physician is much more likely to make these types of errors than an experienced one, but there are never any guarantees.

Some of the most common effects of this type of cosmetic surgery includes problems with the skin and the nerves. As the skin is separated from the connecting tissue, nerves are often severed. This means that you will experience a lack of sensation at best and a constant feeling of pins and needles on other cases. Dimpling and scars are also quite common as that silky smooth skin is not always attainable. Uneven suction during the surgery can result in unattractive results that cause the skin to reflect poor quality.

Most physicians do recommend that you opt for the alternative of changes in lifestyle and diet in order to prevent the need for liposuction. Yet, when this fails, few physicians continue down an alternative path for their clients. There are other procedures as well as vitamin therapies that can help improve the skin tone and muscle tone to help with the fat distribution.

You can only choose what you believe is right for you, but choosing a surgeon that promises perfect results every time is definitely setting your body up for failure. Make sure your doctor is reasonable and passes on reasonable expectations to you. The liposuction dangers should not be minimized simply because the procedure has been around for so long.
