Someone explain this photo to me please!!

At certain temperatures the lipid polymers begin to break down, the shorted the chain, the easier it is to use that as energy rather than store it as fat. That's how I understand it. I have to dig up my Biochem book and look into this a little more.

Looks like a crock of ****e to me. Triglycerides are the molecule your body stores fat in, so when they're broken down you're losing fat. Firing lasers at yourself seems stupid.. Just eat less work more

Considering the amount of exercise I do - I cannot eat any less!! I have worked my *kitten* off (literally) and now I am just doing a lil experiment with laser-lipo to see what happens. I am hopefully going to give everyone who wanted to know whether it actually works a decent/honest review.

Have you tried eating more, instead of less. Set your weekly goal to 0.5lb loss per week and eat back the cals you burn from exercise instead.

I could be reading this all wrong, but it sounds to me like it's a way of forcing fatty acid release into the system for use/elimination.

I'd talk to a doctor if you're seriously considering it. Your usual GP, if possible, NOT someone who represents I-Lipo and has a bias to sell the procedure to you.

great suggestion!!

1. The cells in your body do not have cell walls - no animal does. It is not uncommon for an everyday person to make this mistake, but there is no way someone performing a "medical" procedure should ever do the same. That is like going to your doctor, and he or she points at your hair and calls it leaves, like on a tree.

2. The best case scenario that this procedure suggests is that your body will free up fats from fat cells to use as energy. The good news is that your body will do this anyway! If you maintain a caloric deficit, then your fat cells will release fat for your other cells to use as energy.

Please, do not let the technical-sounding name make you think that this is a real medical procedure. Laser Lipo is at best quackery, and more likely a scam in which the practitioner actively participates.

I'm not a doctor, but have a bio degree, so at least I know the terminology and basic metabolic pathways. The laser seems like nonsense to me. Mitochondria in your cells help convert what you eat into energy. They are not going to be stimulated in any way by a laser based on my understanding of the biochemical processes involved.

The only externally applied lipo method I'm aware of involves the use of ultrasound, and has yet to be approved for use in the U.S., although that should be coming. Google ultrasound liposuction for articles about it. You can only remove a few ounces of fat in a single session with that, but it helps get rid of stubborn deposits that dieting doesn't touch.

If it worked, altering cell chemistry and creating a porous cell wall would probably kill you.

If you're going to do Lipo do real Lipo. I-Lipo looks like BS. Plus, if it does actually work freeing all of those triglycerides in your system at one time cannot be good for your blood vessels which is one of the reasons they suck it all out during regular Lipo.
