When it comes to weight loss resolutions for the New Year, most people lose steam before January has even come to a close. Why? Because hard work that yields little to no results doesn’t seem worth it. The biggest motivator in any weight loss program is seeing those pounds melt off. But weight loss isn’t about starving yourself or spending 40 hours a week at the gym—it’s about providing your body with what it needs to function optimally.
If your body is missing essential nutrients that support the metabolic process, even a healthy diet and exercise routine may not be enough. At Medarts Weight Loss Specialists in San Diego, we’ve seen countless clients finally shed unwanted pounds with the help of lipotropic injections. Read on for more information about what to expect from lipotropic injections and how they can help you meet your 2018 weight loss resolutions.
What are lipotropic injections?
Before we can talk about what to expect from lipotropic injections for weight loss, it’s important to understand what they are and how they work. A lipotropic injection is a shot that contains a combination of nutrients that enhance liver function and speed up the breakdown and removal of fat from your body. The exact formula of each lipotropic injection varies, but they all contain one or more fat-burning compounds, such as:
Chromium picolinate
Choline
Methionine
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
L-Carnitine
Lipotropic injections help to maximize the impacts of a healthy diet and exercise routine by optimizing your body’s ability to burn fat. Weight loss is not the only health benefit of lipotropic injections, though. They can also help lower cholesterol, prevent liver damage, balance hormones, boost the immune system, increase energy levels, and improve overall wellness.
What Should I expect from lipotropic injections?
When you come in for your first consultation at Medarts, we’ll take the time to discuss your health and wellness goals and to determine the best lipotropic formula to help you meet them. As with any healthy weight management program, it’s important to be realistic about your results and to aim for long-term lifestyle changes that help you feel great and motivate you to continue making healthy choices. When you come to Medarts for your lipotropic injections, in addition to one-on-one support from qualified weight loss professionals, here’s some of what you can expect:
Weekly Lipotropic shots
Although everyone is different, as a general rule, we recommend coming in for weekly lipotropic shots. Each week, you’ll receive an injection in your thigh, hip, upper arm, or buttocks (we’ll alternate in order to avoid scarring) to replenish the nutrients that optimize your liver’s fat-burning functions.
More energy
L-Carnitine, choline, and other compounds in the lipotropic injection increase the metabolism of your fat cells and turn them into energy. Say goodbye to the sluggish feeling that sets in after lunch. Unlike a caffeine jolt that barely helps you make it to 5:00, lipotropic injections provide an energy boost that is both natural and long-lasting.
Weight loss
Lipotropic injections work best when used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise routine. When feelings of sluggishness are replaced with the abundant energy of an increased fat metabolism, you can expect to get more impact from each visit to the gym. Additionally, lipotropic injections help to preserve lean muscle mass, further enhancing your metabolism so that you continue burning calories for hours after you work out. Some formulas also work to suppress the appetite and curb cravings, allowing you to shed pounds even more quickly.
Improved mental clarity
The B vitamins that aid in the fat-burning process also provides a number of brain benefits, including a memory boost, improved clarity and concentration, balanced mood, and the prevention of mental fatigue. If you’re deficient in the B vitamins contained in your lipotropic injection, you can expect to feel an improvement in overall wellness right away.
Healthy skin, hair, and nails
Although having stronger hair and nails doesn’t translate to weight loss in any way, it’s a welcome perk for those who receive regular lipotropic injections. The combination of nutrients in many lipotropic formulas support healthy hair, skin, and nails by detoxifying the body, supporting the production of new skin cells, and aiding in the creation of proteins that strengthen hair and nails.
