Slimming belt: how to use it, wait for effect or upset

When it comes to losing weight, women do not have half measures. They use all the “heavy artillery” to achieve their cherished goal - first they try to sleep longer to eat less, and then they tighten their belts, sit on a rigid diet, go to the gym, and even buy home exercise equipment for running, use a rubber harness in exercises for the beauty of the hands ... Well, at least they say so.

But the girls on TV assure that you can do without all these tricks, just wearing a belt for a couple of hours a day for weight loss.

Understanding the effectiveness of devices for “easy” weight loss is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Manufacturers sing praises to their goods. Professional athletes confidently criticize them. And confused users do not know who to believe. True, meanwhile, is somewhere in between. Therefore, it is worth trying to find it by analyzing all existing points of view and forming your own.

The principle of operation of the device

In fact, all devices of this type, regardless of the brand and complexity of the internal mechanism, are designed to compress the problem area and warm it up. Manufacturers are advised to simply put on a belt around the waist or abdomen and do sports or daily activities. As a result, fat cells supposedly begin to melt. But in reality this somehow does not happen. What is the reason?

The fact is that at the time of great physical exertion, the muscles release energy. Heat - in other words. The function of the body is to neutralize the allocated amount of heat and bring the body temperature back to normal. A difficult task is designed to perform sweat. Standing out and evaporating, it cools the body and thereby normalizes the temperature. That is, the hotter inside, the more sweat (moisture, water) the body will secrete. So the wet belt, taken after an intense workout, contains sweat (i.e. water), and not burnt fat, as many would like to think.

5 types

There are five types of slimming belts, each of which has a specific feature. In the device alone there is a vibratory massager. Others work like a portable sauna. And the third ones - they shock their carrier.

Classics of the genre

The classic device consists of a fabric base on which special pockets are sewn. They are designed to accommodate cargo. A simple accessory allows you to control the load, which the athlete can personally increase or decrease. The main thing is not to overdo it in your aspiration, because the load, developing muscles, strikes the joints.

Mobile steam room

Sauna belt is a device inside which is a special material designed to reflect the heat coming from the human body. Thus, the device supposedly positively affects the belt-covered areas of the back and abdomen, causing them to lose weight quickly and efficiently. Manufacturers claim that the mobile sauna burns body fat. According to them, the device guarantees an amazing effect. But in reality, everything is not as joyful as we would like.

When the temperature rises in a problem place, the speed of metabolic processes from this, contrary to the assurances of belt manufacturers, does not increase. And the following happens absolutely: the fat remains in place, and the cells heated by the device begin to lose the water contained in them. Simply put, they are dehydrated.

Electric shock

Miostimulators - this is another name for a type of weight loss belt. They cause the muscles of a person to contract, in the literal sense of the word striking them with an electric discharge. The electric current generator is powered by a conventional battery. And the electrodes hidden inside the device “give what they deserve” to the problem areas of the body. The advantages of a belt with a built-in muscle stimulator are that it is very effective in the fight against muscle dystrophy. The device is widely used in rehabilitation centers. But exclusively by medical prescription and under supervision.

Magnet and massager in one bottle

Magnetic massage belt has a very intricate structure. It consists of massage elements, a variety of miniature magnets, a generator that distributes electrical pulses, and several electric motors. This whole miracle system is designed to work for the good of your body constitution, forcing it to become closer to the ideal.

Sellers assure that the vibromagnet accessory effectively fights osteochondrosis, eliminates the “orange peel” from the surface of the body and leaves no chance for radiculitis. Technically complex, and therefore very expensive vibromagnetic device can be replaced with regular massage and morning exercises. The effect will be similar, and the cost - much less impressive.

Aspen waist effect

The corset belt, according to manufacturers, is designed to make the waist disfigured by fat cells thin as in youth. You need to wear the accessory under clothing, taking off only for sleep. But be careful: squeezing the skin leads to a violation of the outflow of blood. Cell nutrition is getting worse, and this can lead to significant health troubles.

Model Overview

The cost of a favorite device losing weight depends not so much on the promotion of the brand, but on the internal structure of the device. The table provides a comparative analysis of the most popular models, indicating the characteristics of each of them and the average cost in the Russian market.

Harm and contraindications

Below are three reasons why you should refrain from using the device.

1. General overheating. The device heats the skin, and with it the internal organs of a person. Long-term use entails overheating of the whole body. The result may be a deterioration in general condition and a total decrease in performance. If you aim to lose weight and get in shape, well-being is unlikely to bring you closer to a dream.
2. Blood vessel pressure. When wearing the gadget, there is a strong pressure on the vessels - as with a flagellation. This means that in the cells of the body, concentrated in a problem place, oxygen in sufficient quantities simply ceases to flow.The result of poor blood supply is a sharp reduction in the breakdown of fat, even with intense physical activity.
3. Effect on respiratory function. Crushing the waist entails respiratory distress. The amount of oxygen delivered to the body decreases, inhibiting physical activity and thereby slowing down the process of eliminating fat cells.

Relative benefit

The effectiveness of the device is in question. The benefits are not proven. The harm is obvious. Is it really these devices - a complete deception, impaled on an advertising hook? Everything is not so clear. Professional athletes with a specific weight category can and should use the device. According to the rules, weighing does not take place just before the competition itself, but some time before it. Many professionals at the time of weighing have extra pounds. The neoprene belt allows you to "squeeze" water out of the body in the shortest possible time and "fit" into the desired weight category. To compensate for the loss of fluid caused by intensive training in tandem with a belt for weight loss, athletes simply drink enough water.

Proper Fat Burning

Hateful for many, fat is a source of energy for the human body. That is why our body constantly accumulates fat cells - so to speak, on a "rainy day". For example, you ate an extra bun or aromatic kebab above the norm, and your body is even a little happy about it. He, like a hamster, makes reserves, accumulating them in problem areas. Unfortunately, a person is not able to change this algorithm. But it can wrap it in a channel convenient for itself. You will be surprised, but to do this is quite simple. Fat can be “fed” to working muscles, which will turn extra pounds into energy.

When a person is training, his muscles require intense nutrition. The body knows this and forces the circulatory system to collect fat cells from the whole body and deliver them to the places where they are vital at the time of training - into the muscles.

Skin care when using the device

If you, having precisely weighed all the pros and cons, decided to try the device for losing weight on yourself, do not neglect the rules of skin care during the use of the belt. This will protect yourself from pain, discomfort and unpleasant sensations that worsen the quality of life. There are only four rules.

1. Not on a naked body. In no case do not wear a belt on bare areas of the body. Between the device and the skin there should be a “gasket” of natural fabrics. It is best to cope with a body made of cotton, which will not fidget on the body and certainly will not come off the site being processed by the belt at the most inopportune moment.
2. Baby soap and soft sponge. Going to the shower after a workout, treat the area of ​​the body under the belt with a soft foam sponge. Pre-moisten the sponge with water and apply a little mild baby soap on it that does not dry the skin.
3. Skin treatment. In the process of wearing a miracle belt, tiny acne or diaper rash can form on the skin. Do not ignore them, but process them regularly. As an antibacterial and drying agent, a weak iodine solution is suitable. Lack of treatment is fraught with serious suppuration.
4. No to cellophane. In no case do not turn around before putting on your belt in cellophane, as the "experienced belt users" or "professional athletes" offer to do on numerous online forums. The cellophane film will not allow the skin to breathe. And the buffer that is formed between cellophane and the skin will turn into fertile soil for the propagation of pathogenic microbes.

The story of the miraculous device is a fairy tale for gullible adults. The advantages of the belt for most of us are very doubtful. And the list of contraindications and warnings is too long to close his eyes to it.

For some reason, I was always skeptical that such things could help you lose weight. But it's true! I am very glad that I acquired this thing. But I am attaching some tips to this review. In order for the belt to work, we need to make our body fry under the belt. What are we doing for this? Just shake the press. So please, don’t spare yourself. If you really want to remove excess on your stomach, then squeeze the will into a fist. As for me, I put it on a T-shirt, after classes I remove the belt and see that the shirt (where the belt was) is wet, even squeeze the belt as well. The effect is visible after the first lesson! I want to say that losing weight is not easy for anyone, you need to work. And the belt helps you sweat and, accordingly, lose weight! I wish you beauty and health!

He helps me in another. It happens that you get up in the morning, and the body hurts, and the lower back and back are like stone. In such cases, the belt is very good at saving. I dress him around the lower back, but so that the vibrating protrusion does not fall on the spine itself. I turn it on for 5 minutes. Then I grow along the spine on the right side, so that it does not fall on the spine itself, and turn it on for another 5 minutes. Then the same with the left side. No more. The device has warmed up.

But this is enough to let the pain go. It is advisable to massage before and after drinking water, as it is written on the box with a belt. I think with this massage belt, as probably with any massager, you need to be careful for people who have health problems, of course they have many, but it’s better to read on the Internet about the restrictions under which it is impossible to use the belt.

The belt is good for body shaping, helps to remove the sides. You should not wear it on a naked body, it is better on clothes, because when you play sports, it gives the effect of a sauna, your body sweats, and, accordingly, after training, the shirt is wet. I sometimes forget about the manufacturer's warnings. And I wear a belt for more than 2 hours, but everything was in order with the skin, so I do not panic. This, of course, is all individual, and you need to personally test the reaction on the skin. Indeed, many may have prickly heat. But still, such clothes should be worn no more than the prescribed time, because the skin does not breathe. Therefore, I only wear it when I train.

I don’t know how exactly that belt was that I had. Apparently this is a neoprene belt. I bought it at the pharmacy. It is conveniently fastened with Velcro. Wide enough. I did not feel any super effect from its use. Therefore, she gave it to her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law is very happy. He dresses it every day for several hours. Says her waist has become thinner.
