    The wraps are a temporary fix at best - they don't make you lose weight, eating at a calorie deficit will do that. But if you want to lose some water weight before a big event they might be worth considering...

    Save your money. Do a calorie deficit with exercise; it's free.

    they don't make you lose weight all they do is temporarily compact your skin to give the illusion. Cut your calories and exercise, shy of getting surgery there is no short cut.

    Usually with those you have to drink your own freaking weight in water. So all you're really doing is losing water weight, which you can accomplish with just the water and not the wrap.

    They only make you lose water weight and it is temporary. Save your money. I went to a wrap party with my friends and had one done. Yes, I lost an inch but it came back with a couple days. If you really want to wrap yourself and try it, save your money and buy hemorrhoid cream and plastic wrap. It accomplishes the same thing.

    Have (sic) anyone tried doing a body wrap on there (sic) stomach to lose weight.
    So you're 20% of the way to your goal, have another 60 lb to go.
    You've made a good start. :smiley:
    Keep eating at a calorie deficit (500-1000 cal below what's needed to maintain your current weight) and exercising at least 30 minutes per day. :sweat_smile:
    That's what will produce lasting change, and that's what you want. Change your life for good.


    "Most weight loss occurs because of decreased caloric intake.
    However, evidence shows the only way to maintain weight loss is to be engaged in regular physical activity."

    I've done a wrap a few times and I saw results each time. It wasn't a sweat wrap, it was a cloth wrap that was infused with botanical ingredients. It was recommended to me to drink half my weight in OUNCES of water for 3 days after which is roughly 4 large glasses for me, (probably the amount I should be drinking on a daily basis anyway). It's a deep hydration wrap that tightens the skin and reduces cellulite- really popular among people with loose skin that they can't get rid of. The ones I did aren't supposed to be looked at as a "lazy quick fix" but more as a way to enhance a healthy lifestyle. Or maybe as a way to kickstart a healthy lifestyle. I mean heck, if you can loose 3 inches while doing nothing, wouldn't that motivate you to start a healthier lifestyle and/or workout routine to keep it off? Wish i could figure out how to post my before/after pics on here

    A wrap is not tightening your skin, and it does not remove cellulite. I mean honestly, where do you think it's going? Adipose babies?

    Can you cleanse toxins with a wrap? Are they the same toxins that you get from eating unclean food? And if oil pulling removes toxins from your mouth/throat, can you just add oil to your unclean food to cleanse the toxins? Or maybe wrap the food before you eat it?

    You realize this is temporary, right?

    I like that. I like to wrap my food with wheat products. I haven't noticed it making the food skinny, but it sure tastes good.

    Sorry, let me re-phrase. The wrap I tried improves skin texture (tightening and toning) and reduces the appearance of cellulite with it's deeply hydrating formula. Its like 13 x 21" and it's considered a cosmetic product so it doesn't claim to make you loose weight. Actually they're really not that pricey at all at around $15 each. Results last 2 - 6 months.
    Even loosing weight and gaining muscle can be considered "temporary" if you're not keeping up with a healthy lifestyle.

    $15 dollars might feed your family for a week in the coming zombie apocalypse.
    Save your cash or spend it on something your family enjoys.

    A body wrap will make you sweat and shed water weight which could easily be done by drinking plenty of water, anyway. Save your money and eat at a calorie deficiency so you can burn the fat pounds away. The best thing you can do for yourself is invest in a food scale and a set of measuring cups.

    Save your money. If these things worked, everyone would own one.
