Facts About Your Beer Belly and How SculpSure Can Help

SculpSure is one of the latest technological advancements in non-invasive treatments for fat reduction, particularly in the midsection. It’s a laser-assisted body contouring system that helps the body rid itself of stubborn fat, but more on that later. Let’s talk about why you have a beer belly in the first place.

Some doctors will tell you that drinking beer is not directly related to forming fat, particularly in the belly region. While this may be technically true, it makes sense to look at the various effects of beer drinking and how they contribute to an increasing waistline.

First and foremost, beer contains alcohol. When the body processes alcohol, your liver treats it as a toxin and begins metabolizing it while temporarily decreasing the amount of fat it burns. Your liver acts logically in prioritizing the harmful toxins before getting back to the day-to-day task of burning fat.

Second, beer contains a lot of calories. Forget light beer for a second. A typical serving of beer contains around 150 calories. If you’re into IPA’s, then that number shoots up to 200. For most people, three or four cans of beer is equivalent to an extra meal in terms of calorie intake. This leads us to our next point.

Third, a hundred calories may not seem like a big deal, but keep in mind that this is not only above the recommended calorie intake for most people, but we also tend to eat more as we drink, whether it’s because we don’t want to get drunk, or because food simply tastes better when you’re inebriated.

SculpSure is perfect for reducing stubborn belly fat. Laser technology is used to damage and kill fat cells, which the body will naturally eliminate over a few weeks. For optimal results, a series of treatments is often necessary which can be scheduled 10-12 weeks apart..
