We would all agree that losing weight is relatively easier than losing inches, because the abdomen, hips and thighs area has a different type of fat with a different set of receptors (commonly known as persistent fat), which is highly resistant to the lipolysis or fat burning process.
That's why, even after losing a significant amount of weight, the majority of people who have made the effort give up because they feel it's not working, when it just needs to be targeted differently. The good news is that both losing points and dropping pounds can happen simultaneously with the right kind of diet, exercise and skincare products.
In this post, we look at different ways to lose inches, not just pounds, from all over your body.
Resistance training:
Aim for two to three sessions a week with free weights, bands, machines or push-ups. A workout that has resistance as a key element is not a type of fitness that doesn't need a coach. It can, if not properly guided, cause back problems. Pick a gym that works for you and ask them to set up a program for you.
Seaweed mud from ANAPLASIS:
Green Tea extract due to its caffeine content acts as a fat solver. The different types of algae contained in the Anti-Orange Peel Algae Mud with extracts of Green Tea, Spirulina and Horse Chestnut of ANAPLASIS, rich in trace elements, vitamins C, E, B and iodine, enhance lymphatic circulation and skin elasticity, improve the appearance of orange peel.
- Reduces the appearance of "orange peel"
- Helps to reduce local fat accumulation
- Moisturizes and tightens the skin
- Restores and sculpts the silhouette
- Strengthens lymphatic circulation and detoxifies the skin
Spirulina protects and detoxifies skin cells from oxidizing factors such as UV radiation.
Lemon and cedar essential oils, with their anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous action, stimulate and tighten the skin, thus completing the treatment of the desired area.

Carbohydrates and fibre:
Choose complex carbohydrates and fibre-rich foods instead of simple carbohydrates found in sugary foods and drinks, especially those containing fructose. Of all the carbohydrates, fructose can add the most inches to the waistline, as it can cause cravings and overeating.
Eat:
Chickpeas, oats, sweet potato, wholemeal bread, banana, wild rice, lentils, beans.
Eat in moderation:
Pasta, mashed potatoes (especially if you didn't make them yourself), crisps, frozen meals, packaged baked goods like fat dog buns, soft drinks.
Sleep:
Adults should aim for seven to nine hours of sleep. Too little or too much sleep are both associated with greater accumulation of visceral fat. You may think you can handle staying up late, but your body has a different opinion.
Stress:
Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which stimulates the formation of abdominal fat. Take time each day for activities that help to relax, meditate, take a warm, relaxing bath, a walk around town. Don't let stress eat away at your life.
