    I don't think it will work, cuz in order to lose weight you need to burn fat by exercising.... with just that wrap you are just pressing all your fat to make you look more thinner, but you ain't losing weight at all

    Uuhh.. no. It only make you sweat, which is making you lose body water, but not that much. But once you drink up again, you'll gain that lost water weight again. If you want to lose weight, eat right and do exercises.

    yah.....it onie helps u to squeeze all the fat together and looks a tad thiiner....and u sweat more too....once u replenish by drinking water.....ur weight increases back....my sis went to marie france be4 and that is how they get all their client to get instant weight loss in 2 weeks.....by lowering their water percentage in their body....If u wanna continue losing weight at marie france after that initial few weeks...u will have to sign up to their freaking expensive multiple month plans....Wat a freaking good way to make money

    no way, it would keep all that sweat mixing with your skin
    and your dead skin cells can't go anywhere

    oh it's jst gross thinking about it






    some people believe that since your grow and heel during sleep
    that you can alter your shape a little during that time
    so if you wrap like your stomach, your stomach wont have room to grow bigger
    BUT doesn't mean the fat just disspears
    it will just end up somewhere else

    um, i'm going to get a lot of hits against this comment aren't i

    It's bad for your body... It's like going to the sauna

    All the fluid comes out of your body... You feel sick, dehydrated and that's why you loose the kilos of water.

    A lot of the bodybuilders, boxers, jockeys go to sauna's to loose weight before say, a weigh in. During that time they literally are sick because of the lack of water in their bodies. After weigh ins they have to drink all the fluids back

    You would just lose a lot of water. You would regain it very quickly after you drink water.

    probably a pound or two. you basically just lose water in your body from sweat. Not worth it though.

    Probably better to have a planned work out schedule and have a limited calorie food intake. No processed foods. Eating small meals frequently through out the day is better than eating full meals.
