Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Since some don't know about these types of belts: - Batteries? No - Magnets? No - Electricity? No This is basically a cloth, Velcro belt with a rubber inset that has grooves. The principle is simple: it provides basic back support (but not nearly as good as actual back supporting belts), and it acts as a sweat catcher for your midsection. If you workout while wearing such a belt, especially cardio or other intensive workouts, you will sweat 2-3 times the amount in that area. More sweating = slimmer waist, in theory. But you must be aware that this assumes that water retention is the source of some of your fat. This is true with most women, and why they can slim themselves easier and faster than men. For men, fat is generally the result of (A) genes, (B) salt, (C) poor diet and (D) water retention, in that order. While I'm generally slender, the males in my family have all been fat, thus the genes are there, I just have to push harder to fight them off. This belt is not a miracle worker. THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES TO WEIGHT LOSS. You must exercise, you must adopt a clean lifestyle including diet, and you must commit to a plan. The belt simply helps with some of the sweating that you need to keep the weight down. I would also stress that you should keep your liquid levels up when in any workout regimen; water and simple fluids, and lots of it. You're going to sweat; you need to replenish those fluids, and by working out you help put them in the right place (i.e. your muscles) instead of the wrong place (i.e. your belly).
