Yes.. weight loss!!
Sometimes we need to stop and look at the BIGGER picture. The idea is to feel better in order to do more with our lives.. not just get skinny.
I think if something is working, even psychosomatically, go at it!!!

Honestly certain things you can't post in here you should just YouTube it because some ppl just aren't gonna have nice things to say . Goodluck ❤️
Nice? I'd rather have people answer my question directly than feed me a bunch of lies. You can workout without the waist trainer.

The effects are primarily cosmetic, and not necessarily due exclusively to dehydration, although the results are limited in duration following extended use.3

The purpose of shapewear is to improve appearance. "looking nice" is the goal..4 -

So how do you know the best worked since you used it for years while working out? How do you know it wasn't your actual workout that caused your results (hint it was)10 -

Sweating makes a person feel more energetic?
Absolutely!!! Getting rid of any excess water in your system cleans your system. It's kind of hard to imagine because working out in the beginning makes you feel tired, or when it's really hot, it can make you feel really tired. But it's not an immediate response.
The reason many people use a sauna is to sweat out toxins. They feel tired at first, then after awhile, provided they don't put the toxins back in, they feel the difference!
Same with a good workout. Workouts are even better because you get the benefit of sweating it out, stretching it out, and building yourself up. Again, you may not feel it immediately, but we feel the energy come in time.
Sometimes it's hard to imagine something exhausting and uncomfortable ever giving us energy, but you know, the more you exercise, the stronger you get, and you wake up with more energy.. common sense stuff right? It just takes patience and perseverance.
The girl who posted about wearing the sweat belt 10 hours a day, that's perseverance, I don't doubt a minute she feels a difference with that kind of dedication.
You'll never know how it feels till you try it.26 -

You still didn't answer the multiple questions about what these toxins are that are being sweated out with the help of a waist trainer.7 -

You mean dehydration?
And what toxins?
Yeah, no. I like to stay hydrated and keep a calorie deficit for actual fat loss. It's not about a number on the scale for me, or looking temporarily thinner. I'm in this for the long haul.11 -

YouTube is a legitimate source of information?
Okay.7 -

Thats not a peer reviewed page... It's just woo.10 -
That doesn't answer the question. You'd be hard pressed to find someone on MFP who doesn't think exercising (which produces the sweat being talked about in that article) is a good thing.
Your claims about the waist trainer and the "toxins" that are supposedly sweat out is what is being questioned.
Also, peer reviewed journals are your friend.6 -

You need to drink plenty of water when you work out or go in a sauna.. so no, I'm not promoting dehydration, nor am I saying to do this instead of healthy eating. I'm saying it's ALL good8 -

Still wondering what these toxins are....
Generally, sugars, alcohols, salt, any other weird things they put in our food that our bodies have a difficult time processing and we hold onto longer than we should.. just look at the back of any packaged food item.
Theoretically, that's a huge reason Americans and Europeans have so many problems metabolizing.30 -

Sodium is a toxin? Like the kind found in almost every "natural" food that the earth can produce?The sugar in a banana is a toxin? Cause the sugar in a banana and the sugar in a donut are the same chemical compound and I feel just fine when I eat either one of them.
Also, since you said theoretically I'm assuming you have a peer reviewed medical or scientific journal which posits this theory.8 -

I personally have seen waist training when done consistently and correctly, be a great tool for slimming your waist. But I think its something you would need to do for as long as you wzmt your wsist dlim down,I think eventually it goes back to normal. There are plenty of corset,/trainers on you tube who have alot of knowledge on them. I want to purchase one from Orchard Corsets, but this is a corset trainer, after I lose some weight. I have a rectangle/straight dhape,so I would like to gave just a little definition there. I'm sorry you got eaten alive for asking a perfectly Innocent question.10 -

It makes the wearer look like a toothpaste tube smooshed in the middle. It does not change your natural shape.8 -

Those arent toxins.... Because if they are, I should be Spiderwoman by now.... Or at least She-Hulk.7 -

Sugar and salt are not weird things added to our food. In fact, they occur naturally in many foods. If fruit had a label you'd see sugar as one of the main ingredients and no one added it to make you fat.9 -

Your body actually processes all those just fine (thanks liver and kidneys). If you had toxins in your body you'd be hooked up to machines at the hospital. The diet and weight loss industry have sold you a bunch of nonsense concerning toxins. You may want to start questioning anyone and anything claiming you have toxins you need to get rid of.
A huge reason Americans and Europeans have so many health problems is that food is more convenient than ever and we are less active. Consider your grandparents lifestyles compared to yours.12
