They might work if all you want is a temporary reduction in belly size for an event. They draw water out of your midsection. It's not lasting and it's not fat loss.

Do not buy them, whatever you do. That's all kinds of scammy.
I've made my own before by rubbing olive oil (or coconut oil) on my legs then coffee grounds, then wrap with saran wrap. It sounds weird but the caffeine is supposed to reduce cellulite. Plus it's dirt cheap so even if it doesn't work at all, you didn't waste a lot of money! It's so messy I don't do it often but it does help short-term.0 -
Please stop and seek professional help.
First it was a thread on how to lose weight when you are already underweight and now it's wraps? Please, please, PLEASE stop your relapse in it's tracks and go see your health professionals.0 -
Save the saran wrap for your leftovers.0

Makes about as much sense as putting a shop vac to my biceps to make them bigger. Sorry but I just don't understand how people think fat loss involves anything but fat loss and don't want to reduce calorie intake at the same time. Off to the sauna to melt away my fat while eating a jelly doughnut.0

Oh, I thought this was going to be about spa treatments like seaweed wraps. I've never done that and was interested in what people had to say. I am a little sad now.0

Let's talk about those instead.
I did one of those spa ones for moisturizing ages ago when I'd just moved and my skin was freaking out and super dry. It was basically massage + person covering me in lotion + a nap. I had super soft skin afterwards, it was amazing (also a kind of once in a lifetime thing... mostly I use Aveeno lol).0 -
I was on the beach this past weekend for the Sea Festival. There were a bunch of booths set up for people to sell their wares. I walked past one of these wrap places with signs all over stating that you could lose a bunch of weight with wraps. The two gals running the booth were very very overweight. Quite obese. If that's any indication....0

Sorry, I was thinking about the ones that they wrap you in tight cellophane for compression, my bad. Never occurred to me that it could be about skin therapy. All I ever think about here is fat loss and deficit, carry on.

I hate those wraps and waist trimmers or whatever they are called, gives a false impression on results by promoting wearing those things without any type of exercise or diet will give you results. Worst part is ppl actually buy them and believe it haha0

Yes well, after reading @z304 's description it could be a REWARD for weight loss

They work GREAT but don't follow the directions that come with it.
Follow these:
> wash and dry your midsection and back
>take wrap out of package and spread out on kitchen table
>next go to your pantry and remove all junk food items like chips,cakes and cookies
>place gathered items into wrap and wrap up tight
>throw wrap containing items into the trash
>when you go back to the store don't purchase any items like you threw away
> hang in there, you should see results soon0 -

They help you lose water weight, that is all. It's a scam to help the lazy think they are losing weight, because they notice a small difference in the mirror/picture.0

Sure, waste food AND saran wrap. That's a delightful idea.

It's not just Saran Wrap it is a super secret formula that has been proven effective in Broscience medical studies.
I mean really, if it was just Saran Wrap and mineral oil do you really think people would be paying upwards of $100 a wrap?0 -
Um Thanks all of u for telling me I'm lazy ... It was simply a question as I'm actually not allowed to loose any more weight (my bmi is 17.6 ~ underweight) and was wondering if there were other ways of looking slimmer as I'm still incredibly unhappy with my body and thought it might be healthier than risking my weight dropping any lower. But thank u guys for that great advice...CancerSurvivor2014 wrote: »They work GREAT but don't follow the directions that come with it.

If this is trolling you need to put a little more work into your game.
Perhaps you should act a little less like a Tumblr member, and be a bit more light-hearted when it comes to sarcasm.0 -

If you are a healthy weight, yet still feel soft or not as lean/toned (sorry to use that word MFP) as you would like, you need to add muscle mass. I might suggest you read up on recomp, or, if you can mentally handle adding fat for the end goal of a leaner you, bulk/cut cycles. There are great threads in the Maintaining Weight and Gaining Weight sub forums that can give you some insight.0 -

You are taking everything said in here too personal. No one here is calling you lazy. You are not the target demographic for body wraps. It's for overweight women who don't want to eat right and exercise.
If you are trying to look leaner, try focusing on weight training. If you're only looking to look leaner for a day, for an event, try looking into lowering your sodium and water intake the week of the event. You might want to google how wrestlers cut weight.0
