Have you heard that massage helps you lose weight? Some spas and salons
offer “weight-loss massage” and cellulite reduction massage.
Don’t be fooled! If it were THAT easy and felt THAT good to lose weight,
our country (and the rest of the industrialized world) would not have a weight
problem!
Massage has not been proven to help anyone lose weight, but it can help you
reshape your body by moving fluid around. Massage can even act as a diuretic,
so you’ll lose weight, but remember the only weight which is actually
lost is water weight and the results are not permanent. You can use a massage
to help you squeeze into a tight dress for the night, but don’t expect it
to last for long!
On the other hand, some types of massage are said to help improve digestion and
the regular functioning of organs such as the liver and these actually are
true. Modalities such as lymphatic drainage, visceral massage and shiatsu
are used to help clear the system of metabolic waste, and encourage circulation
which in turn improves digestion and helps flush out metabolic waste which can
help you in a successful weight loss program.
So, Massage For Weight Loss is really not the answer. If you expect to just lie
on the table and have the fat melt off your thighs, don’t waste your
money and your time. As you know, anything worth having takes a little effort.
The only way to permanently lose fat and get healthier is to watch what you eat
and increase your calorie burning. (Notice, I didn’t say
‘diet’ – in my experience working with people who have been
dieting forever, depending on your specific case, you may actually need to eat
more!) Diamond Massage & Wellness Center can help you with an
Fitness & Exercise Program or a Weight Loss
& Nutrition Program by designing an easy, effective plan for you to
do based on what your goals are.
Perhaps the best way massage can enhance your weight loss is by increasing your
sense of well-being,; shifting your attitude towards a more health-oriented
approach to life, and by creating more of an awareness of your body and how it
is getting stronger and more fit since you’ve changed your life-style.
Massage is also a great way to keep you on your new exercise program because
your tired or sore muscles get regular relief from the benefits of
massage!
It also makes a terrific reward for reaching your exercise and nutrition goals!
Schedule an hour of wonderful rewarding massage every month you stay on your
plan, for every 5 pounds you lose, or for every 10-15 miles you walk!
