i Lipo away your fats without Fuss


The i-lipo emits low levels of laser energy, the fat cell membranes are disrupted releasing intra-cellular fat. This causes the cell to lose its round shape by changing the permeability of the cell membrane. This does not affect the neighbouring structures such as skin, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves.

Triglycerides spill out from the broken cell membranes and are released into the interstitial space, where they are slowly transported through the body’s natural metabolic functions, with no adverse physiological effects and are used by the body as an energy source. This mechanism of action is not “liquefaction of fat” rather, it is the instant breakdown of the fat cells (also referred to as lypolysis).

To see maximum results a course of 8 treatments is recommended, per body area. These treatments should be taken twice per week at regular intervals.

A healthy diet needs to be adhered to and an exercise program is important to follow to enable the released fat to be used up as energy. This should be done within 24hrs of your i-lipo treatment.

Booster treatments are not necessarily needed with the i-lipo, as long as your weight, diet and exercise is maintained. One treatment performed now and again is a good incentive to keep you in control.

Exercise during pregnancy

Everyone (friends, families & youself) will be trilled once you are pregnant. Being a regular gym goer, you will not want to stop going to gym and/ or exercise even though you know you are on your way into motherhood. Nevertheless, advice from your doctor/ gynae is important to ensure that your pregnancy is not affected. Like most women, I always want to be a slim mama (like Angelina Jolie during her pregnancy). So, my yogas and rpms are still my regular exercises, even though I plan to perform them less strenously.
Nevertheless, once your pregnancy starts to show, you are adviced to go to specialised gym and /or prenatal centers who offers prenatal and postnatal exercises/ activities for mum to be.
In short, do not stop exercising (unless otherwise adviced by your physician) if you want to be a beautiful mama before and after.

Liposinol™- Fat Free Food

Have you tried Liposinol™ ? Frankly, it is still new here in Malaysia but the effect is excellent. If you are like me who have tried all kinds of the so claimed fat absorbing supplements like chitosan, you might as well give Liposinol™ a try.

The non-soluble fibres in Liposinol™ are clinically proven to bind dietary fats through irreversible interactions. When you take Liposinol™ with water immediately after a meal, the non-soluble fibres in Litramine readily bind with the fat in the food you have just ingested. Meanwhile, the soluble fibres in Litramine become a gel that forms a protective barrier around the fat–fibre complex. After a meal with Liposinol™, the fibre complex in Litramine mixes with your food. Your food plus the fibres increase the viscosity of the stomach content and produce a bulking effect. You will feel full for a prolonged period of time and your desire to eat is reduced.

With Liposinol™, the reduction of appetite results in a substantial reduction on your total daily food intake, which again means less calorie intake for your body.


The surrounding gel stabilises and protects the fat-fibre complex from being broken down during the gastro-intestinal transit. The stable fat-fibre complex is too large to pass through the blood vessels lining the intestinal walls and is prevented from being absorbed by your body.

The unabsorbed fats (as fat-fibre complex) are therefore naturally eliminated in your stool.

What this means to you is that with Liposinol™, less fat is absorbed from your daily food and less calories go into your body.

Adrenal Glands are important for Long Term Weight Loss

The two Adrenal function glands sits like a tiny pyramid on top of a kidney ("ad" "renal" means "over" the "kidneys"). These powerful little endocrine glands manufacture and secrete steroid hormones such as cortisol, estrogen and testosterone that are essential to our health and vitality.

Adrenal glands' job is to keep our body's reactions to stress in balance so that they are appropriate and not harmful. For example, the protective activity of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant Adrenal hormones like cortisol helps to minimize negative and allergic reactions, such as swelling and inflammation, to alcohol, drugs, foods, environmental allergens, cancer, infection, and autoimmune disorders. These hormones closely affect the utilization of carbohydrates and fats, the conversion of fats and proteins into energy, the distribution of stored fat (especially around your waist and at the sides of your face), normal blood sugar regulation, and proper cardiovascular and gastrointestinal function. After mid-life (menopause in women), the Adrenal glands gradually become the major source of the sex hormones circulating throughout the body in both men and women. These hormones themselves have a whole host of physical, emotional and psychological effects, from the level of your sex drive to the tendency to gain weight. Every athlete knows that steroids (Adrenal hormones) affect muscular strength and stamina.

Phosphatidylcholine as an excellent fat burner

Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) is a gylcerophospholipid that is involved in the metabolism of several lipid compounds. Phosphatidylcholine is widely found in the cell membranes of plants and animals and as an ingredient of fat dispersions (milk).

PPC acts as a supplier of choline, which is needed for sell membrane integrity and to facilitate the movement of fats in and out of the cells.

PPC is an excellent fat burner and many mesotherapy practitioners use PPC by itself for weight loss. However, many practioners prefer to use cocktails made up of combinations of caffeine, PPC etc to be more effective.

Organic Silicium for Cellulite Treatment

Organic Silicium as an ingredient used in Mesotherapy for fat dissolve, increases lipase production. It is 7 times more poerful that theophiline and caffeine/ trace element.

Weight Loss Sunglasses

This is such an interesting article by
By Glenn Mueller
eDiets Senior Writer/Editor

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the hit song from the early '80s, but maybe the real reason Corey Hart wears his sunglasses at night is to keep his appetite under control. If you've been following the latest headlines, you'll know that a Japanese company is currently marketing a special line of sunglasses to help dieters lose weight. (As the popular humorist Dave Barry is fond of saying, "I am NOT making this up!")

The Japanese company, Yumetai, claims their magic glasses work in two ways:

Since the lenses are blue, they make food look extremely unappetizing. The company claims that the color blue suppresses the appetite sensors in the brain.
The lenses also block red light, which is said to stimulate the appetite center in the brain.
And to think, all this time I thought the secret to losing weight was to burn off more calories than you take in. I have been wasting valuable time trying to follow a healthy meal plan and get to the gym, when all I really have to do is wear blue sunglasses. Where do I sign up?! I'll wear two pairs at the same time... that way, I'll be sure to lose twice as much weight.

Oh well. In a culture obsessed with instant gratification, I guess it is not surprising that companies keep marketing absurd diet gadgets. After all, they wouldn't keep creating them unless people were buying them. As the great P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Now, I'm tempted to say that weight-loss sunglasses are the most ridiculous weight-loss product of all time, but I know they have stiff competition. There have been slippers, earrings, patches and even insoles for shoes that were marketed to help people lose weight. Not to mention sauna suits, soaps, stimulating electrodes and vibrating belts.
