Does anyone know if it actually helps burn fat faster?
Absolutely not.
I would stop this behavior immediately for potential health reasons.
I was thinking the same thing!!0 -
Being a Mom..and since the OP is at the tender 18 of age.....I'm ordering you to stop right now!! There is no benefit to doing this and YES it is dangerous. Stop.0

Makes you sweat, nothing more. In hot weather you increase the risk of dehydration and heat stroke.
I also heard that if you wrap your belly in saran wrap while working out it will shrink your tummy faster. Does that still put you at rise for dehydration and heat stroke? Dying to know! Thanks!
Shavon- I can't imagine this is good for you. There is, however, a MUCH SAFER alternative called Zaggora Hotpants. They are workout pants that are designed to make you swear a lot in your midriff, thighs, etc by insulating it and keeping it warm and they make you sweat. I'm not 100% sure if this works or how well it works, but its safer than Saran Wrap because it actually lets your skin breathe. I would keep EXTRA hydrated in any case.0 -
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, STOP doing EVERY single thing you see on Dr. Oz!0

Unless you need to make weight before a bout or some sort of competition where you have to weigh in ...in order to compete...I don't see anything wrong with it...
but to do it that just so you can change the number on the scale to make you happy...NAHHHHHHH0 -
I heard that wearing adult diapers wile lifting can help you out too. Does anyone know if this is true?0

Yes. Don't do it. It will only "shrink" your belly by sweating out all your water. You'll put all the weight back on as soon as you drink some water. It's absolutely pointless and dangerous.0 -
I can't even figure out how someone wears a garbage bag...

If we all agree that sweating more does not help weight loss, can we all agree that that Hot Yoga (Birkim??) is also no more beneficial than regular yoga?
Nah, that is more about warm relaxed muscles releasing toxins through sweat, and you are encouraged to hydrate!!! It's also about the atmosphere.0 -

Yes! You should run to walsmart and buy some today!! Get some Alli, carb blocker, and HCG there too.0 -
Is the garbage bag empty or full?
Then I guess body odor won't be the problem if the bag is full.
To the OP, it is a dangerous practice. Sweating, and thus evaporation, is the body's natural defense to cool off. You are preventing that from happening with the plastic wear! You continue this practice you will end up in the hospital or worse! It does absolutely NOTHING in weight loss!0 -

Only if you have to take a dump and you have limited time between sets.0 -

Garbage bag + fat blocker = epic0

ABSOLUTLEY! I do it all the time - I prefer the Hefty Cinch Sak, but I've learned from experience to at least wear a thong and some self-tanner underneath. Works GREAT. I weighed 340 3 months ago and look at me noW. Just a few trash bags away from my GOAL. Oh .. those nasty hospital bills - those will be paid soon. Not a problem. Oh .. and my mental disorder that has resulted? Barely noticeable. REALLLY. Not a problem. I'm SKINNY and all it took was a box of trash bags from Costco.0

The whole trash bag, plastic sweat suit thing is very dangerous. I personally know from experience that the plastic sweat suit gimmick is just that, a gimmick if you're looking for weight loss. At one time I had one of these sweat suits. I put it on with only my intimate undies (bra and panties). I set out in 90 degree weather on a 2 mile walk. IT TOOK ME DAMN NEAR 2.5 HOURS TO REACH HOME!!! About half way through, I began to feel very sick and dizzy. Sweat was litterally pouring out the sweat suit. Of course the route I took had next to no trees big enough to provide shade. I found one and stood there for approx. 30 minutes waiting for the "OMG, I'm gonna die out here" feeling to ease up a little. Now I know what you're thinking, take off the suit...right. Remember: only my intimate undies are underneath this damn suit. So, after I begin to feel like I'm on death's lawn, not its doorstep anymore, I continue on home, at a new born fawn's pace. I finally get home, strip off the plastic sweat suit, collapse on the living room floor and sleep for 2 hours. My boyfriend coming home and exclaiming "What the hell...what's wrong with you?!" woke me up. :huh:0

Seriously, there are people out there who need to wear a garbage bag to sweat like crazy? I am absolutely soaked every time I leave the gym. I sure don't need a garbage bag to help me along.0

How bad is it that it took me until the end to realize you were being sarcastic? Does that reflect on me or the current state of humanity?0 -
I was going to make a comment.....but then I thought about it and decided it wasn't worth a strike.0
