Can i use lipoderm ultra on my legs? I looking to loose around an inch off each thigh.
I would ideally would like to lose 2 inches off my hips/thighs, so my stats would be 33" Chest, 23/24" Waist, 34/24" HipsIt is possible to lose an inch, but it depends on how much fat you have to lose.
Well first off, you sound perfect to me.I would ideally would like to lose 2 inches off my hips/thighs, so my stats would be 33" Chest, 23/24" Waist, 34/24" Hips
Can i use the lipoderm on the knee area? This is the part of my legs i really don't like. Generally I wake up and my legs/knees don't look too bad, but then throughout the day my knees swell and look fat and horrible, any suggestions?
Thanks!Well first off, you sound perfect to me.
But that aside, the way you're describing swelling of the knees almost speaks of a circulation issue, not a fat issue. Obviously, it's not possible to gain fat from the time you wake up to later on in the day, so it may have something to do with lymph drainage, blood flow, etc. That being the case, no, I wouldn't recommend Lipoderm for your knees.
You can use it on your hips and thighs, though.
Good old fashioned Vitamin E will help with circulation.Thanks!
Can you recommend anything that would help for the swelling throughout the day?
I thought it could be water retention, so i began drinking more water throughout the day to flush it out. However this hasn't done the trick.
Oh and your measurements are perfect.I would ideally would like to lose 2 inches off my hips/thighs, so my stats would be 33" Chest, 23/24" Waist, 34/24" Hips
Well, is it significant swelling? How much size would you say you gain there during the day? Would you happen to have "before" (morning) and "after" (evening) pics of your knees?Thanks!

Make sure you are taking 4 to 6 grams of CLA per day. It may be more. The studies that showed CLA had good positive results on fat loss used something in this range.With regards to appetite suppressents they just don't work for me, i've tried EVERYTHING going.
I take each morning multi vitamins, gluatmine, chromium and apple cider vinegar. I was taking CLA instead of the apple cider, but hey i thought i'd give them ago.
My aim is to lose fat from my legs, i'm lucky that since i can remember even when i didn't really exercise i've always had a 6 pack. So i'm looking to get my legs in proportion to the rest of me. I'm not saying my thighs are huge, just i'd like them a little smaller!
I'll try and get some for you to see over the weekend.Well, is it significant swelling? How much size would you say you gain there during the day? Would you happen to have "before" (morning) and "after" (evening) pics of your knees?

However - most supplement bottles don't recommend anything near the range of this (and hence aren't effective).
Nutraplanet.com has a damn good price on CLA caps - I'm going to try some out myself.
BTW - you tried green tea? A few cups a day might be a good idea for you.
Does this stuff really work? Does it just tighten the skin? Or does it really mobilize some fat cells? I've been very skeptical of any topical 'ointments' that claim to make things disappear. But does it really work?Hey, I use the lipoderm ultra and yes you can use it most places as a spot reducer. Do you do many lleg exercises? Building up some good muscle would help as muscle burns more fat.
I know some people will disagree with this but i used to have a really bad bakery habit, Muscle Milk actually broke me of my craving for sweets, plus it has protein it so its not to bad for you. It also helps with my migraines. You could try that, all the flavors are really good and then wean of it.
I'm thinking about picking up some NP CLA to add to my diet regime, and I may add it here before I start a log. Stay tuned.The board would be especially interested in feedback on NP's CLA caps, I think.
I've not seen any - it would be a valuable addition to the board.
This makes sense, although it does seem funny that I've had friends who change nothing and hope for the best with cremes. Sort of the deal with creams that have caffeine claiming that they make your fat work out or something so it burns off.Satire, yeah, it works.
I know exactly what you're thinking and I understand completely- most topical fat loss products are complete bunk. But we were the first company to actually make it happen.
Couple of things to think about, though-
1) The type of fat you have- VAT vs. SAT. VAT is the type that makes your stomach protrude outward from the inside, SAT is the type of jiggly fat that's right underneath the skin. The Lipoderms only work on SAT. If you have VAT, check out Abliderate over at nutraplanet.com.
2) Your bodyfat must be below fairly to begin with, but you have a certain spot on your body that doesn't seem to want to go away. Say, for example, your abs.
3) Your diet and exercise must be in check. When it comes to diet, preferably a low-carb diet. The reason being, the Lipoderms don't actually melt the fat- they help mobilize the fat so it can be burned off. If your body isn't in fat-burning mode, the fat won't be mobilized and burned off.
