However, strapping an ice pack to your stomach or to the targeted area won't yield the results that you want. Additionally, this can be dangerous, because applying an ice pack to bare skin can, and will, cause frostbite, which can lead to a multitude of issues that require further medical evaluation and treatment.

Many of us only feel our best if we look our best. Excess body fat may cause us to feel self-conscious about our physical appearance. If diet and exercise don’t seem to be producing the results that you want, you may grasp at straws trying to find a solution that produces results.

Debunking Methods That Don’t Work

Freezing off your fat is a method that has gained popularity over recent years. The idea is that the colder your body is, the harder it is working internally to heat itself up, burning excess calories along the way. However, strapping an ice pack to your stomach or to the targeted area won’t yield the results that you want. Additionally, this can be dangerous, because applying an ice pack to bare skin can, and will, cause frostbite, which can lead to a multitude of issues that require further medical evaluation and treatment. Cryolipolysis, which is the fancy name for fat-freezing, only works if the fat layer itself is specifically targeted. Again, an ice pack applied directly to bare skin for an extended period of time can cause serious medical issues to both the skin layer and the underlying muscle. Only specific modalities, like CoolSculpting, should be used in an effort to reduce pockets of fat via freezing. The CoolSculpting technology specifically targets the fat layer in the human body, while effectively protecting the dermal and muscle layers. Plus, in order for fat-freezing methods to become effective, they typically need to be completed a few times.

What enzyme breaks up fat?

Lipase Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.

mountsinai.org - Lipase Information | Mount Sinai - New York

Most people do not need additional lipase. However, people with the following conditions may find lipase supplements helpful.

Celiac disease

Celiac disease is a condition in which gluten (a protein found in grains) damages the intestinal tract. Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, weight loss, and fatigue. People with celiac disease must follow a strict diet that is free of gluten. Pancreatic enzymes have been studied as part of the treatment for celiac disease, however, it is not clear how much they help. In one study of 40 children with celiac disease, for example, those who received pancreatic enzyme therapy (including lipase), had a modest weight gain compared to those who received placebo. The weight gain happened during the first month. Taking pancreatic enzyme supplements for another month did not lead to more weight gain.

Indigestion

In a small clinical study of 18 people, supplements containing lipase and other pancreatic enzymes helped reduce bloating, gas, and fullness following a high-fat meal. These symptoms are commonly associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). So some researchers speculate that pancreatic enzymes might help treat symptoms of IBS. No studies have been done to test this theory.

Cystic fibrosis

People with cystic fibrosis, an inherited condition that causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus, often have nutritional deficiencies because mucus blocks pancreatic enzymes from getting to the intestines. Taking pancreatic enzymes as prescribed by a doctor helps improve the nutrition they get from food.
