Hey,
Just wondering if anyone has tried Slimdome, and how it worked for them. They have a groupon for it in my city today, and I was thinking i might try it just to give me a little boost before my sister's wedding. But I'm not sure that I actually believe that sweating and lying down can burn 600 cals in 40 minutes. Sounds a litte fishy.
Thanks for your input!

    Sounds like garbage from what I just read of it. Don't waste your time and money.

    I have never heard of it, the only thing I have heard of that makes you sweat out alot of calories are sweat lodges, and those you have to be so careful in.

    That's bogus as well. When you sweat....calories are not expended at any rate over and above normal. You are losing water from your body, that's all, that's why it's dangerous...heating yourself up and losing hydration. This does nothing for fat loss.

    Agreed. If it sounds too good to be true it is!

    Any loss is likely to be mostly water and will regain very quickly!

    That sounds fishy and seems like the only people that would waste their money on this are lazy ones.
