Challenge 2023

More and more people contact me for a keto plan to help maintain or support their results after abdominoplasty, liposuction and other surgical procedures, while following their medical team’s guidance. Ketosis may help reduce water retention in a way many other nutrition plans do not. I’ll also tell you not to believe the myth that after liposuction, no further maintenance is needed because fat cells have been removed. Lifelong maintenance is important. The same volume may not come back in exactly the same way, but fat can still accumulate again, especially in the abdominal area and when eating a carbohydrate-rich diet. Fat storage in this part of the body can be influenced by frequent rises in insulin levels, metabolic imbalances, insulin resistance and the consumption of trans fats (packaged products). The period after any procedure is often associated with water retention, swelling, and bloating around the abdomen, face and ankles. This is related to the body’s lymphatic system. With your healthcare professional’s approval, following keto during recovery may support fluid balance and a less bloated feeling.

I’m sharing with you the result of a client of mine during Challenge 2023.
