As it seems with every year, weight loss is in most people’s resolutions for 2020. The sad truth is that most people won't have achieved this goal by the end of the year. Life gets in the way, and the conventional methods of losing weight, such as exercising and dieting alone, are not sustainable anymore. The new year came bearing gifts for anyone who wants to lose a few pounds; here are a few new weight loss trends that you should try.

Fat freezing

Also known as cryogenic lipolysis, fat freezing is a non-surgical substitute for liposuction. As the name suggests, fat cells are frozen to reduce them. The genius idea behind this procedure originated from a group of researchers during a frostbite experiment. The researchers discovered that fat cells freeze before the skin freezes. Fat freezing takes about two hours, and it mainly targets areas such as the thighs, stomach, and arms. Cooling pads exert pressure on the skin and crystallise fat cells.

EMS training

Electrical Muscle Stimulation is a new trend that was borrowed from physiotherapy. It is a high-intensity body training that utilises low-frequency electrical pulsations to stimulate muscles that are often neglected by conventional workouts. One training session lasts about twenty minutes and it consists of both static and dynamic exercises. EMS training builds strength and endurance, reduces fat, builds muscle, reduces muscle tension, improves posture and also reduces back pain. This workout method is particularly useful in reducing fat in stubborn areas such as the waist, thighs and hips. If you have done fat freezing before, EMS is a great way to maintain the results you got, and even improve them. It complements slimming procedures like fat freezing because it also works on areas with stubborn fat such as the stomach, arms, and thighs.

Fat injections

This procedure is a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Body fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks is an excellent filler for soft tissue. Fat cells are extracted from your area of choice and are used to contour other parts of the body like your face. This procedure has little downtime and the results can last , depending on the patient’s body. This procedure complements dieting and exercising because it helps you lose fat a lot faster, and it can work as a starting point for your weight loss journey.

These weight loss trends accompanied by dieting and exercise will help you achieve your weight goals in 2020. Fat freezing is likely the best option as it is non-invasive, has no downtime and it s long-lasting results.
