DASH Diet Gets Top Ratings for Weight Loss Methods

Being over-weight is a major issue for many people and there are a number of diets out there to help people drop excess pounds and lead healthier lives.

It can be hard to figure out which diet is best and many publications and doctors review the various diets. The U.S. News and World Report have released its study of the world’s best diets and the DASH diet has come out on top. It is the favored eating plan of dieters and health professionals.

The DASH diet was developed to help people with high blood pressure and recommends a large intake of fruits and vegetables along with cutting down consumption of saturated fat, salt and sugar. The DASH diet creators also recommend eating foods high in fiber and non-dairy or low-fat dairy.

Combining a healthy diet with regular physical activity can help people lose those extra pounds and look better. However there are some people that can’t seem to get rid of all the fat despite their efforts. They may be genetically predisposed to holding on to extra fat. But there is an option available to the person who can’t get rid of the extra fat and it's called liposuction.

Liposuction should not be viewed as a tool for weight loss; instead it is a way to contour your body after you have been able to maintain your weight.  Through liposuction a surgeon is able to target those specific areas of resilient fat and remove it, giving their patients a lift to their self-esteem.
