Ask the Expert: Wear Sauna Suits for weight loss?

Can wearing a sauna suit, plastic wrap or rubber jumpsuit help me to lose weight? And can I use an electronic stimulation device instead of doing hundreds of sit-ups?

Simply no, there is no substitute for your own effort. These suits are usually made of a material that holds in body heat, causing perspiration. The perspiring leads to dehydration and a temporary body-water weight loss, not a fat loss. Overheating is not only useless but also dangerous.

The amount of electricity needed to stimulate a muscular contraction equal to doing one sit-up would inflict more pain than anyone could tolerate. No device develops a better body without any work on your part. There is simply no short cut to weight loss.

Blessings on the road to health!
