This is a great summary of the "zone diet" and why its principles are ideal. http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/start-diet.html

Remember it is not necessarily a "diet" but a healthy way of eating right.

laser liposuction

Myth: Laser liposuction is superior to traditional liposuction as it shrinks skin and selectively removes fat.

Reality: Laser liposuction (an invasive procedure employing a laser-equipped cannula) may be useful for small areas but is not proven to be better or safer than traditional liposuction. Heat is applied beneath the skin and may cause skin burns if not used properly. It is imperative to choose a board certified plastic surgeon with specialized training when opting for any type of liposuction as there are many unqualified practitioners on the market offering this surgical procedure.

Myth: Fractional laser skin resurfacing tightens the skin non-surgically.

Reality: Despite a lot of advertising to the contrary, fractional lasers are not skin-tightening devices. However, they can be a good choice to correct sun damage, discoloration, fine lines and even acne scars. A small percentage of patients may achieve some skin tightening, but this is not a predictable benefit. While fractional lasers offer minimal down-time, other types of lasers can offer more visible results. The rule of thumb is: the shorter the recovery time, the less improvement you can expect.
