Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2006sauna belt??
wondering about sauna belt... and i realize that even if it works, you can probably replicate it with two of those heating pads for your back... i've seen everyone scoff and say it's just water loss.... but i was wondering the following things: 1) is it just water loss? aren't you losing salt and minerals as well? 2) when you exercise and sweat, isn't that burning off some fat? can someone explain scientifically how this is different? 3) if you cook bacon, it's definitely giving off alot of fat in addition to water and salt? check the pan, that isn't just water. 4) if you cooked your belly fat, isn't it going to give up more than water? yes, i know the sauna belt is for suckers (replicate it for $15 if it works), but wondering why it wouldn't work to a certain extent beyond water loss? thanks in advance for enlightened responses! > wondering about sauna belt... and i realize that even if it works, you > can probably replicate it with two of those heating pads for your [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > 1) is it just water loss? aren't you losing salt and minerals as well? When you sweat, you sweat out salt. So, yes, when there is "water loss" there is also mineral loss. What difference does it make? > 2) when you exercise and sweat, isn't that burning off some fat? can > someone explain scientifically how this is different? When you exercise, you burn fat because the body is actually metabolizing the fat into a useable energy source. You aren't just sweating it out. > 3) if you cook bacon, it's definitely giving off alot of fat in > addition to water and salt? check the pan, that isn't just water. No sh.t.

If you have missed our review for the Velform Sauna Belt then be forewarned that there was nothing positive about it. To be blunt, these products are really nothing but a scam. Applying heat to one body part is not going to melt the fat away. Yes, at first you may lose a little weight and size on your midsection but that is because you have sweated water, not fat, out of your system. The bottom line is that there is not magic pill, magic workout program or even magic belt that is going to melt fat away. Most people do not want to believe this but it is important to point out that it takes a good diet and exercise program to achieve a great body. To be blunt again, it just takes hard work for most people to achieve their goals. Now some people are genetically gifted and can burn fat faster than others but the bottom line is that Sauna belts do not work for anyone. It is unfortunate that people get suckered into these types of gimmicky products and waste their hard earned cash on them. So, do we recommend the Sauna Pro belt, Velform Sauna Belt or any other Sauna Type belt system out there? Enthusiastically NO! We do not recommend these types of products at all! Their claims are false and anyone purchasing one of these gimmicks is wasting their hard earned money >> > wondering about sauna belt... and i realize that even if it works, you >> > can probably replicate it with two of those heating pads for your [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > oregonchick, that's for responding but you don't seem highly informed. > i think you're guessing just like me. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?p=735494 >> > wondering about sauna belt... and i realize that even if it works, you >> > can probably replicate it with two of those heating pads for your [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > oregonchick, that's for responding but you don't seem highly informed. > i think you're guessing just like me. Your body fat is not, unfortunately, lying around in your body like a lump of lard. It's held within fat cells so it can't just melt away. That your heart rate might be up a little may mean you lose a little more weight by your metabolism being raised but that is not the same thing. The only way the fat cells will give up fat is if the body calls on them for energy.

When you exercise, the energy comes from your metabolism, which may be burning your fat. When you heat the body using a sauna belt, the energy comes from the sauna belt and not from your metabolism, hence no fat is burned. > fat separates itself from the body at a very high temperature, but not > at a somewhat higher temperature.... leave lard out in the sun and it > melts. that's not 400 degrees or anything. How do you know that the fat in your body isn't already in liquid form? In other words, how does the hypothetical melting of your fat help anything? It still stays in your body. > oregonddchick, that's for responding but you don't seem highly informed. > i think you're guessing just like me. You might want to read up on metabolism and on bodily functions in general. Once you have the background, this stuff is not rocket science. > wondering about sauna belt... and i realize that even if it works, you > can probably replicate it with two of those heating pads for your > back... The problem is thermoregulation, the body will maintain the same internal temperature despite the sauna belt or heating pads. If one can manage to overcome this "problem", they have much more to worry about than excess fat. smchant22@yahoo.com <smchant22@yahoo.com> kirjoitti 29.08.2006: > 2) when you exercise and sweat, isn't that burning off some fat? can > someone explain scientifically how this is different? Your body sweats because it is hot. Sauna causes your body to be hot. When you exercise, you are in effect burning sugar, which is turned partly into kinetic energy and partly in the heat. The heat causes your body to be hot. (The sugar you burn in exercise may come from many sources. One of them is your fat: when other sources of sugar get emptied, the body takes some of your fat and turns it into sugar and some waste products that goes into your urine.) > 3) if you cook bacon, it's definitely giving off alot of fat in > addition to water and salt? check the pan, that isn't just water. True. > 4) if you cooked your belly fat, isn't it going to give up more than > water? Yes. You'd also die. |
