Massages to Melt Fat?!

(Marci) #1

Hi everyone, do any of you get massages to help melt away your fat? I’ve been keto 6 months with good results and today I was thinking about getting regular massages on my legs to help the breakdown of fat. Thoughts? Thanks! :-):thinking:

I think if that worked then my cat would be a lot thinner!

It may help some if you have a fluid build up situation but I’m not sure it works on fat.

Massages are great. Although probably not for this. But they’re still great.

Oh yeah - I’d highly recommend them in general :relaxed:

Maybe try cold showers instead. Apparently exposure to cold activates the good brown fat which in turn burns bad white fat.

I’d try the massages first. For maybe a couple of years, just to give them a fair chance.

They do keep me in relatively decent working order so I’m able to lift - I guess they help burn fat in that way :slightly_smiling_face:

#8

Might help loosen up sore muscles but I highly doubt it’ll do anything with fat.

Massages would lower your stress levels, and stress hormones, so while it wouldn’t MELT away fat, it would help you access your stores easier by lowering the stress hormones, as those block lipolysis.

Probably better luck with a brisk walk around the block. :grinning:

Pretty sure that’d work as good as a high sugar diet fixing diabetes, but they sure feel good!
