Hey, does anybody wear those sweat/fat/tummy trim belts? Im talking about the one with the rubber inside that you wrap around your stomach?

I never miss an exercise with it and it makes me sweat around my stomach A LOT after a good workout, but I was wondering if it really burns fat?

My waistline went down pretty quickly using it.

Just interested in opinions (if you guys even know what im referring about lol)

I'm not familiar with the belt you're referring to but I think you are asking if making your abdomen sweat will cause fat loss.

The answer is no. First off, you cant spot reduce. You can only work at a deficit and fat comes off from all over the body. Also, sweating just means loss of fluid, all of which will be replaced when you hydrate after the workout. I'm guessing it was a good diet and hard work that led to your fat loss :tu:

no offense, but it's just another ridiculous gimmick people sell. It may make you hotter, and hence you sweat more, but it's just water loss, not fat.

It's just water loss. It reminds me of those funky 1950s mechanical things that you put a belt around your waist that was connected to a machine that made the belt jiggle around that in turn made your waist jiggle. Somehow it was supposed to make you lose weight. :D

Odds are your waist has shrunk because you've been dieting effectively.

Not validating the product, but doesn't the body spend more energy when it has to vent out heat? Perhaps just not to an influential enough degree.

Thanks for the responses guys. i figured teh samething that it is not actually burning fat. But ill keep running with it, I guess its a mental thing lol

I think the general consensus these days is that the body expends more energy heating up when it's cold than it does cooling off when it's hot. Sweating isn't that calorie-intensive a process.

if it keeps u working out, then keep using it.

Of course, as mentioned, it's not helping you do anything but lose meaningless scale weight. You dont' want to lose water weight; you want to lose fat, and it won't do that. If anything it would probably increase your liklihood of deyhyrdration, or at least under hydration.
