Waist trimmers typically advertise that their devices aid in burning calories and losing weight.
FICTION for sure, but lets examine the facts.
- The rubber material used to make waist trimmers will cause you to sweat more profusely in that area.
- The temperature of your body and the amount you sweat are unrelated to the calories you burn.
- Your not burning extra calories because you sweat more.
Water Weight
Devices such as waist trimmers and sauna suits help to sweat in excess and lose water weight, but not calories to lose fat. Water weight loss is not effective because as soon as you consume water or any other drink the small weight you lost is quickly restored.
Losing Weight
You need to burn calories to lose fat successfully through a combination of healthy eating and exercise. You have to burn 3,500 calories to lose a pound of fat. Heart pumping cardio or aerobic exercises such as running, riding a bike, or stair climbing are great calorie burners.
Bottom Line
Waist trimmers can give the illusion of a tighter midsection when worn under your clothes., but it’s not necessary to put it on to workout.
Thanks for clearing things up��
ReplyDeleteGlad I can help! My sister actually wears one because she just had a baby and she likes that it helps hold her stomach in place while she's moving around during exercising, but not because she thinks it will help her lose any weight.
DeleteGood info! Love this. Just found your blog through instagram. Would love to hear your take on "Waist Training" and "Corsets".
ReplyDeleteDearly noted.
DeleteI am completely starting over my workout routine what would you suggest for beginners...again!
ReplyDeleteI really thought they helped. Even though my stomach has not changed, but only a little. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteYou are great and such an inspiration. I'm so happy you have a blog and IG fitness page. You help motivate me. :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to purchase a package online , but wasn't sure if it was worth it. Thank you for clearing this up. However I have been "prepping meals" for about a month now , ppl notice that I look a little slimmer, but the scale says that i am still the same weight. This week I've started going to the gym hopefully it helps in the scale #. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteRemember that you can be loosing fat and gaining muscle, and muscle can weigh more than fat and that may be why the scale hasn't changed yet. Keep up the hard work!
