UltraShape® Fights Stubborn Fat

Even with the healthiest lifestyle accompanied by a great exercise program and diet, some fat just doesn't go away. Countless sit ups, squats, hours of cardio, and small meals dominated by fresh vegetables - that fat just continues to remain on parts of the body, taunting us with its ability to thrive and accumulate. It's incredibly annoying and disheartening for both men and women. That's probably why many turn to cosmetic surgery for a solution.

Stubborn fat can adversely affect a desirable body contour, adding lumps and bumps that disrupt the pleasant curves and lines of the human body. Predominately located on the thighs, buttocks, hips, flanks and abdomen, stubborn fat is the first thing we want to get rid of but the last thing that actually goes. Unfortunately, this is determined by our natural physiology.

Adipose tissue and the adipocyte cells that comprise it is where energy is stored by our bodies. This energy is in the form of fat, and can be used for several purposes, including to provide warmth and insulation for our internal organs. There are two main receptors in fat: alpha and beta. This is the key to understanding stubborn fat.

Alpha receptors are responsible for stopping fat cells from breaking down. On the other hand, beta receptors do the opposite: they tell fat cells to break down in order to supply the body with energy. Receptors are triggered into action by natural hormonal processes.

Blame it on where it's located

The thighs, butt, abs, flanks and hips where stubborn fat calls home have fewer beta than alpha receptors. As a result, it has a slower metabolism. Plus, limited blood circulation and plenty of estrogen receptors make the accumulation of stubborn fat a breeze. That's why it's harder for us to get rid of fat located in these areas, and to keep it off.

For years, people have turned to cosmetic surgery as the only way they could get rid of this stubborn fat. Liposuction was the most common of all cosmetic treatments. However, the surgical route is no longer the only solution.
