How Can I Reduce Body Fat?Your Guide to Reducing Stubborn Body Fat — And Why CoolSculpting® Helps You Get There

Healthy Habits + CoolSculpting®: The Modern Approach to More Sculpted Confidence

Trying to reduce body fat can feel like a full-time job — especially when you’re doing everything “right” and still dealing with those areas that simply won’t budge. The truth? Fat reduction is more complex than most people realize, and crash diets or extreme exercise plans can actually work against you. Instead, a sustainable lifestyle paired with the right aesthetic treatment can help you achieve real, noticeable, confidence-boosting results.

That’s where CoolSculpting®, the world’s #1 noninvasive fat-freezing treatment, comes in. But before we talk about how it works its magic, let’s take a look at the habits that support healthy, long-term fat reduction.

Want to Reduce Body Fat? Start With Sustainable Lifestyle Habits

Your body thrives when you give it consistency. Crash diets or skipping meals may lead to quick changes on the scale, but those shifts often come from water and muscle — not fat. Instead, try incorporating long-term habits that support your metabolism, muscle tone, and energy.

Here are simple, science-backed ways to support fat reduction:

Prioritize sleep. When you’re short on rest, your body produces more cortisol, making it easier to store fat — especially around the midsection.

Eat enough protein. Protein supports lean muscle, which in turn boosts your metabolism. Aim for ½ to 1 gram per pound of body weight if you’re strength training.

Hydrate well. Even drinking six cups of cold water a day can nudge your metabolism higher.

Don’t skip breakfast. Your metabolism wakes up with you. Fueling early helps stabilize energy and hunger throughout the day.

Maintain a calorie balance that supports your goals. Eating slightly fewer calories than you burn is key to fat loss.

Be mindful of sugar and refined carbs. Excess sugar converts to fat quickly, while refined carbs can spike and crash your blood sugar.

Eat every three to four hours. Smaller, balanced meals keep your metabolism active.

Load up on veggies, fiber, and healthy fats. These nutrients help keep you fuller, longer, while supporting energy and digestion.

Train smarter — not just harder. Strength training builds lean muscle, and pairing it with cardio like running, rowing, or swimming helps maximize calorie burn.

These habits matter — but even the most disciplined lifestyle can still leave you with “that one spot” that just won’t go away.

As Dr. Will Kirby, Chief Medical Officer of LaserAway, explains:

“There’s this full spectrum of patients who would really do well… no matter how athletic you are you can still have a little pocket of fat that you just can’t remove.”

This is exactly why millions of people turn to CoolSculpting.

Why CoolSculpting® Is the Gold Standard for Targeting Stubborn Fat

CoolSculpting® is an FDA-approved body contouring treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells — permanently. It’s totally noninvasive, requires little to no downtime, and is ideal for those isolated pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise.

Here’s how it works:

CoolSculpting® uses a process called cryolipolysis, which targets and freezes fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. Those frozen fat cells are then naturally eliminated by your body over time.

What makes the results so impressive?

  • Visible, long-lasting fat reduction 
  • No needles, no surgery, no downtime 
  • Precision treatment for the areas that bother you most 
  • Natural-looking results that continue to improve for up to 3 months 

And yes — the results are permanent. As Dr. Kirby emphasizes:

“The results are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle which is diet modification and exercise.”

CoolSculpting works best when it’s part of a larger wellness routine, not a replacement for one.
 Dr. Kirby also notes:

“CoolSculpting again is best used as an augmentation treatment for healthy lifestyle modification — eating appropriately, exercise — so it really depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.”

How Many CoolSculpting® Sessions Do You Need?

Treatment plans are never one-size-fits-all. Depending on the area you want to treat and how much fat reduction you’d like to see, most patients need 1 to 3 sessions per area.

Dr. Kirby puts it perfectly:

“How many sessions of CoolSculpting do I need… it really depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.”

Your LaserAway clinician will create a personalized plan based on your goals, your body, and the specific areas you want to sculpt.
