The Role of Exercise and Diet in Maintaining Body Contouring Results

February 21, 2024

Body contouring with Exion Body, EmTone, and EmScult Neo can give you amazing results by utilizing noninvasive, innovative technology to reduce the look of sagging skin, build muscle and increase functionality. While these procedures can have significant results, these changes, like all things in your body, are not permanent, and maintaining them requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

The Importance of Exercise

Staying physically active is crucial for most aspects of your health and wellbeing - whether that be keeping your body in shape, achieving a healthy weight, maintaining function and appearance as you age or recovering from surgery or injury. By engaging in regular exercise, you can effectively burn calories, decrease body fat, enhance muscle tone, and maintain body contouring results.

Strength training exercises can also help maintain body contouring results. They help to build or sustain muscle mass and tone your body. You can do strength training exercises with weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, squats, and lunges. No matter what kind of physical activity you choose, it’s very unlikely that it will become a sustainable part of your lifestyle if you don’t try to find things you actually enjoy. Things to consider that may be a factor in whether or not you enjoy your exercise experience: location (gym, at home, outside, etc.); company and accountability (exercise group, class, coach); activities that you could find some fun or light-heartedness in; the sense experience of your exercise (smells, fabrics, musics, lighting) and many more factors!

At Medical Transformation Center, we offer tailored exercise support programs to help you take control of your physical health. After body contouring, the experts at MTC can work with you to create an individualized exercise plan to meet your unique needs and goals and continue to tailor this as you evolve.

The Importance of Diet

Following a healthy and balanced diet is essential for maintaining body contouring results. A diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. On the other hand, a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats can lead to weight gain, inflammation, and poor healing.

One diet that provides a balanced and sustainable way of eating, focusing on nutrient-dense foods that are naturally low in calories is the Paleo-Med Diet. This approach encourages the consumption of healthy fats, such as those found in avocados and nuts, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. To learn more about this diet, we offer a Paleo-Med Lifestyle Guide to help you navigate a healthier lifestyle.

Overall, maintaining body contouring results requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet. By following these tips, you can maximize your body contouring results!
