has anyone heard of - or done - the corset diet? I just came across that today, and it looks rather, ummm, interesting.

    Corsets are rather uncomfortable. I couldn't imagine lifting or running in one.

    I had to google it.......hilarious!! The website says you don't have to eat less, but then it says you wear a corset so that you feel full and eat less. Sounds legit.

    Think of the corset like an external, removable lap band. A properly adjusted corset squishes the hell out of your insides - that's why with enough wear, you actually can change your organs' placement and body shape. Look up corset training.

    I have never heard of this as an actual "official" thing.

    I wear corsets for my man. He loves them :blushing: But I have noticed that I eat less when I'm wearing one when we go out to dinner. So when I know we are going out to a calorific dinner or a party with lots of nibbles I will wear my waist cincher and it helps me recognize when I'm full and not eat anymore. I don't do it all the time and I don't tighten it to the max, but it helps.

    I know "everything in moderation" and I know "one bad day won't ruin everything" but its a useful tool.

    So for me its a double win, happy boyfriend, happy me:flowerforyou:

    today was the first time I've heard of it. I can see where it would help you eat less, especially when going out or when you know there will be lots of food that you want! however, I can't stand tight! my spandex shorts are about all I can stand! we'll see if this becomes a legit thing! thanks for the comments!

    I really hope it doesn't become a legit thing.

    Corsets for dress up? Yay. Corsets for dieting? NO.

    You know I had to look...she is rather disproportionate...

    Corsets that are worn so tight that they squish organs and break ribs are unnecessary and unhealthy and Thank God we don't live in the Victorian era anymore.

    I always wear my corset, though it is sadly 20" now.

    Mammy says I can't get back to 18.5" again, but I just won't get old and fat before my time. I just won't have any more babies!

    If I could just find my slippers with their new ribbons.

    I'm going to be late to see Melanie.

    Technically yes. There are training corsets for men.

    I think the gent in the picture however should have gone with red leather though instead of pink lace, from a fashion perspective.

    As a side note, CorsetStory.com has an amazing selection of corsets, for you know...things.

    I do like wearing corsets, and I did notice wearing one I didn't eat as much. However, as another poster said, it's much like wearing an external removable lap band. If you ever went without the corest, you would go back to much of the same diet. I do like the idea of wearing one when going out for a heavy meal. That sounds like a plan. Then again, we are talking about wearing a corset once a month or so for 4-5 hours rather than every day.
