Waist trainer won't help. Your genetics dictates where you gain (and lose) weight, particularly fat and when gained rapidly. Unfortunately we can't choose where we lose and gain, though gaining slowly and doing strength training means you will gain muscle as well as fat which could minimise the "gut" gains a bit.3

Waist trainer does not work!

Slowing down the pace of weight gain and progressive overload will help too. At some point you can also cycle between a cut and bulk or do a recomp to help reduce body fat % from your recent gain.2

My waist trainer did a great job slimming my mid section. Whether it dehydrated the area or pushed fat in other areas I'm very happy with the results.0

If you're working on gaining weight and only working out a little, you're gaining fat, and the gut is one of the easiest places to gain. Hardly surprising.0

@MrsWashington82 @lplummer324 Hey y'all... Lol WAIST TRAINERS ARE THE DEVIL. Lls #Lies but anyways... Yes girl I started gaining in my gut a little as well which I expected since I was packing on some pounds. When I saw a few comments about waist trainers I bought one to try it out but honestly I haven't used it enough to know if it works for me. I do recall some mothers from my mommy n baby group swear by those things along with wrapping their bellies with Saran Wrap as well with great results so hey. I'm doing ab workouts more than anything as of now tho cuz that's one area I don't want to slack on. I go on YouTube and find different videos geared to my stomach and workout like crazy. And sometimes I do it with my waist trainer on sometimes without. However u do it girl.... Work Out! It's a must.1

Yesss! Im definitely gonna workout! Lol0

"Pushing fat in other areas" is not physically possible, without plastic surgery.1 -
The only reason I say this is because I was quoted by several members on various post who all claim, waist trainers merely push fat into other areas and dehydrate the abdominal area thus producing the effects of inches loss.htimpaired wrote: »MrsWashington82 wrote: »My waist trainer did a great job slimming my mid section.

I just ordered some new workout sneakers! I'm ready to get my lift on. I'm about 8lbs from maintenance so I'm very excited to get nice and toned. And yes I will be wearing my workout waist trainer...just like the one Kim K sports!!:-)@MrsWashington82 @lplummer324 Hey y'all... Lol WAIST TRAINERS ARE THE DEVIL. Lls #Lies but anyways...

Because Kim Kardashian wears it, it must work!

I think when someone says it's pushing fat into other areas, they mean temporarily, like with Spanx. Saran wrap just makes the area sweat so the effects are temporary.
I really think those that think they do anything do themselves a great disservice. If you have improved the appearance of your mid section that's all you and any workout you've been doing. And of course a large part of science, your genetics dictate your shape. No amount of crunches in the world will redistribute fat because you can't spot reduce.
Of course the way to test this is to not workout at all and wear the "waist trainer" (boy do I hate that term for these things) for a few weeks and see if it makes a jot of difference.0 -

I will say this about that article. They are using steel boned corsets and elastic corsets interchangeably. There is a difference in the extremity of damage potential frm each, with the elastic having far less (it's not really going to change rib cages or move organs etc, the Dr quoted is clearly talking about steel boned (or historically whale boned) corsets in that instance. But overall the advice is solid.0 -

They also said that what you eat matters for where the body fat is deposited. So much misinformation on both sides.0 -
Great job guys... However APETAMIN ROCKS! Lol-1

I skimmed most of it, and hadn't really put together the point you made about the doctor speaking about corsets and assuming those conclusions apply to waist trainers. It completely lost my attention (what little I gave it) at the point of my previous post.
OP, the waist trainer is shape wear. It will change your shape while you are wearing it, not permanently. There is also some concern regarding the overuse actually weakening the core muscles, which can increase your risk of back injuries.
Of course, the decision is yours.1 -

"Pushing fat in other areas" is not physically possible, without plastic surgery.
Meanwhile I'm still stuck on why we want to be "pushing the fat around."
