    Making yourself sweat more does nothing for you except dehydrate you faster. You're not helping yourself by doing this....at all. Sweat does not equal calories burned.

    It does nothing but cause extra sweating. No extra calorie burn, no toxin removal, no nothing. Maybe a rash?

    And everyone will laugh when you walk into the gym sounding like a bag of chips.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: om nom noms Fritos™

    LOL nope not to the gym.. just here at home. in the gym I just wear my reg. gym clothes.. what about a tummy sincher while working out ??

    Well I'm pretty sure it's safe for sandwiches, so why not the body. It will probably keep you fresh until lunch time. But I hear you shouldn't put it in a microwave. So avoid stepping into any human-sized microwaves.... seriously, even if some web page tells you that sitting in a microwave will help you burn belly fat fast.

    You sir, are a winner. :laugh:

    I would only wrap my body in plastic wrap as foreplay.

    How about...

    Just workout without all the crazy shizz attached???

    It doesn't work. The workout itself is what works.

    Why would you bother with that? Hold your abs in tight while you work out. THAT will do something more than any of this other nonsense. :drinker:

    From my understanding, and I'm no expert mind you, wrapping in plastic or using sauna suits doesn't burn calories, but what it does do is force your body to accelerate it's metabolism to cool itself off.

    I will try and give you a blanket statement to help you out:

    Outside of liposuction, you cannot do anything to cause your body to lose fat from a specific area. You need to burn calories through diet and/or exercise or a combination of both and your body will burn fat where it chooses to.

    No garments, plastic wraps, or even specific exercises will allow you to influence the location of fat oxidation.

    Not exactly. It doesn't increase your metabolism...it simply makes you overheat and sweat more. Actual exercise will increase metabolism(temporarily) and cause your body to sweat to cool itself. Wrapping up only makes you more overheated and lose water at a faster rate.

    I've hear of people doing it to loose inches to pass taping in the military but there is more to it then just the plastic wrap and it's only a temp fix.

    sweat loss is not fat loss. saran wrap and tummy belts only make you sweat. as soon as you drink something you've replenished everything that you lost - and you still have all the fat you had when you started.

    if you like wasting money and using more products that don't biodegrade and therefore will be with us forever - then continue to wrap yourself.
