Neoprene Belt?

Options
So, after reading through a few topics here, I have learned that you can't 'target' fat burn in any specific area. I was curious then, if wearing my neoprene belt during cardio was pointless? My husband wears one all the time when he works out. I know it makes me sweat more in my midsection - is that the only benefit? losing water weight in that area or am i missing something? Are the benefits the same as sitting in a sauna - only for your midsection? or does it have any long-lasting benefits as well?

    The slimming effect comes from the elastic band and strong Velcro strap and any loss of inches in the waist can only be attributed to exercise and a reduced calorie diet.

    and

    What neoprene waist trimmer products will do is cause sweating. Sweating can decrease fluid stores in the body and thus show some negligible water loss. This water loss will not be substantial enough to cause significant weight loss even over extended periods of use.

    So in other words.. it is pointless to wear? lol
