WAISTLINE, HIP HIP HIP…

By: | Tags:

Being self-confident and motivated helps when you are trying to get healthier and to extend your longevity, following a weight-loss program. It is also useful, and very simple, to keep evaluating the loss of extra pounds and extra body fat. You just have to know your waist-to-hip ratio. There is a growing evidence that waist-to-hip ratio is significantly associated with coronary heart diseases. All studies on longevity determine that the larger the abdominal perimeter, the shorter the life expectancy. With the Liposhaper® – the 1st non-invasive “liposuction”, it is possible […]

BODY COMPOSITION EVALUATION

By: | Tags:

There are two forms of fat tissue. ESSENTIAL FAT (approx. 4% for men and 10% for women) serves as shock absorber and protective shield for vital organs of the body such as the heart, liver, kidneys, brain and spinal cord. During the slimming programme this fat is only slightly reduced. SUBCUTANEOUS FAT acts as an insulator to protect the body against excessive heat loss. Any excess calories derived from food intake will be stored beneath the skin as fat. OBESITY may be defined as an excessive storage of energy in […]

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

By: | Tags:

A BMI is considered NORMAL between 20 and 25. BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. In the absence of a direct measure of body fat, it is an index based on weight and height. This indicator is not the most relevant because weight only determines if we are heavy. It’s the percent of body fat that determines whether we are fat or not. The Food Reeducation and Behavioural Program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo®, enables an individualisation of the alimentary regime and […]

BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR)

By: | Tags:

Metabolism is the word used to describe all processes that use or release energy in the human body. The minimum amount of energy needed for an individual to stay alive is known as basal metabolism. For each individual there is a minimum amount of energy required to sustain the body’s vital functions in the waking state. BMR is then the estimated amount of energy your body requires during a 24-hour period to maintain these essential bodily elements, such as temperature, heart rate, brain and lungs, to function at rest. The […]

LOW-FAT vs. LOW-CARB

By: | Tags:

Which diet is best for weight loss? One of the most difficult decisions when it comes to weight loss diets is picking one that will work well for you. Keto diets, Mediterranean diets, fasting diets — there are so many options out there for people who want to lose weight. We’ve all heard stories of a friend who went on one diet — it worked great — and then another friend tried the same diet, and it didn’t work at all. It’s because we’re all very different. Maybe you shouldn’t be […]

NUTRITIONAL CONSULTATION

By: | Tags:

Our approach is always taken through the therapeutic point of view and, before starting any treatment programme, we try to discover and understand the clinical problem that gave origin, in the first place, to the overweight and extra fat, or accelerated the bodily ageing process, both physical and mental. This kind of approach, more therapeutic, enables more efficient results in a shorter period of time. The Nutritional Consultation, besides the nutritional component, has a very important psychological component so that the client realizes that getting thinner is not just to […]

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR LIPOSHAPER®

By: | Tags:

Surgical liposuction is no longer the most looked for technique for fat reduction, because is is associated with severe risks such as embolism, nerve compression, skin necrosis, problems with anaesthesia, infection, visceral perforations and seroma (liquid accumulation under the skin). The Liposhaper® – the first really non-invasive “liposuction”, is the most safe alternative, using a technology that enables, without all the inconvenience of  the surgical process, to achieve better results on excess fat reduction and to improve the body sllhouette, in an only session of 90 minutes, without pain and […]
