My wife wants to try the "Instant Tummy Tuck she saw on an informercial" apparently it is a band you put around your waist with a "magic Fat Burning cream" that is supposed to help shrink your stomach. Has anyone tried this? My wife wants one, to go along with our Diet and excercise. She has a friend who says it works, but since it is a Infomercial and they never work like they say I wanted to see if anyone else has used it before I dish out over $40 bucks .

    I have never used this, nor heard of it, but I can pretty much guarantee you it is not going to work. There is no "magic fat burning cream." The only thing that will help your wife is diet and exercise.

    If it's what I think it is, it's a band that sends electrical impulses to your muscles and zaps them into working out while just sitting around. The magic cream is probably a caffeine cream to help tighten the skin. May or may not work. If you leave it on too long, you can really exhaust the muscles and have trouble moving around!

    I saw the commercial it is not one of the Electrical belts, it honestly looks like those slim waist spandex that people wear to make themselves look slimmer.

    My theory on these things is that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And if it sounds like an easy quick fix, it's probably a scam. Personally, I think you would be throwing your $40 away.

    If $40 made everyone "magically" lose belly fat - everyone would be slender... no?

    Obviously.

    Presumably the point of the thread is that his wife needs to hear common sense from a bunch of random strangers, instead of believing her husband who is smart enough not to be deceived by ridiculous false claims such as this.
