The #1 Reason Why You May Be Gaining Weight Despite Working Out & Eating Healthier

New York Post

She wanted weight loss — but instead, she lost money and self-esteem.

UK mother Julia Lanni, 58, says she bellied up about $155 last summer for 16 fat-dissolving Aqualyx injections in her stomach in the hopes they would boost her body confidence.

What she got was a 2.75-inch hole in her stomach that required emergency surgery.



“This treatment was certainly life-changing, but not in the way I wanted,” Lanni, of Hertfordshire, England, admitted to SWNS. “My confidence is even lower than it was before. My weight was the same after the treatment and I’ve been left with a scar.”

Avoid These Common Weight Loss Mistakes and Lose Pounds Fast

The common refrain is that in order to lose weight you must cut calories. Although this is true, as a dietitian I don’t always want people to focus on the calories in each food. Instead, I urge them to focus on making healthier swaps and substitutions. For example, swapping out potato chips for a handful of nuts, or replacing one fast-food meal with a home-cooked one. Why? Simply cutting calories without focusing on the quality of your food will not lead to a lasting, sustainable and healthy journey toward weight loss.
