This technology makes it easier for people to be aware of the calories they are taking in for the day instead of looking on the nutrition labels, which a lot of people do not want to take the time to do. It is also a healthier alternative than turning to diet pills to shed the weight off. It is anyone's guess how many people are trying unsafe ways to lose weight, but surveys found that 32% of college women reported using a diet aid in the San Francisco Bay area and 44% in the San Diego area (Celio, Christine). By simply plugging information into this application, it will help people stay on track with their diet and keep them from hurting themselves with diet pills. One of the best ways to lose weight and keep it off is to simply keep track of the foods you eat.
Nonsurgical procedures are a great way to help boost weight loss and release toxins in the body. Plastic surgeon offices and medical spas have been using new equipment that aids in fat loss. The Zerona, a fat melting machine, was seen on the Dr. Oz show in 2011. This technology was created for non-invasive totally body slimming. The Zerona has been used in studies since 2008 by physicians and has been used by physicians in practice since 2009. This treatment is done with a non-invasive laser, completely painless, and does not destroy the fat cells which are important for your endocrine system. Patients come in three times a week for treatment in order to help shrink their fat cells and help drain out bad toxins. Treatments vary from six to twelve treatments, depending on how many the client needs. According to Dr. Stephanie King, "With the Zerona treatment and by following the recommended guidelines for success, we saw an average loss of 3.64 inches reported in our clinical trial on the waist, hips, and thighs ". Another new form of weight loss technology is LipoSonix. LipoSonix is used for fat reduction and uses advanced concentrations of ultrasound to agitate fat cells beneath the skin, destroying them permanently and forcing the fat to be redeployed elsewhere.
