Vegetables
Vegetable Protein
In addition to vegetables, it is also advisable to incorporate vegetable proteins, such as soy, miso, and tofu into your diet after your surgery, as they contain essential amino acids which help your body recover from surgery, build muscles, and burn fat. Rice and legumes such as beans are also sources of vegetable protein but are not as high in amino acids.
Fruit
Fruit should also be consumed regularly after liposuction, as it is high in fiber and antioxidants, which help your body to burn fat. Apples, apricots, bananas, peaches, oranges, strawberries, watermelons, citrus fruits and pomegranate in particular, are recommended. In addition, avocado can help reduce your cholesterol levels, burn fat, and has anti-aging effects.
Green Tea
Green tea works to reduce body fat and prevent the development of excess weight by lowering cholesterol rates. One to three cups per day, steeped for two to three minutes, are recommended.
Fish & Seafood
Fish and seafood, which are low in fat but high in protein and iron, are excellent choices following liposuction, as they aid in your recovery from surgery. In addition, they contain B vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids, which help to encourage the growth of new tissues, prevent inflammation, digestive disorders and high blood pressure. Salmon and tuna, in particular, are recommended due to their high Omega-3 content.
Lean Animal Protein
1-3 servings of lean animal protein, such as chicken, turkey, or extra lean ground beef, are recommended each week. In addition to providing your body with the necessary protein, lean meat is also an excellent source of iron and vitamin B.
Low Fat Dairy
1-3 servings of low or non-fat dairy products, such as yogurt or milk products, are recommended per day as they contain healthy bacteria which lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases good cholesterol (HDL).
Healthy Fats
Nuts, seeds, avocado oil, and extra virgin olive oil all contain healthy fats, such as Omega-3 fatty acids and monounsaturated fats and should be incorporated into your daily diet. These healthy fats help to encourage the body’s absorption of nutrients and lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure.
