According to my doctor, there is exactly one and only ONE way to lose weight on a long term basis, eat less and exercise more. The fat on your body is like a bank account. If you deposit more than you withdraw, you gain. If you withdraw more than you deposit, you lose. Time to start counting calories, eat from a well balanced menu (consult a nutritionist, or a program like weight watchers or Jenny Craig) and exercise more. Then all you have to do is adjust the calories you eat to be less than what you burn and over time, done on a daily basis, you will slowly but surely lose weight, to the tune of 3500 calories per pound of body fat. You do the math. At first, your weight may not change much (or may even slightly go UP!) even though your calorie balance is negative, because you are shifting fat into muscle and muscle is more dense than fat, so your measurements may change while your weight stays pretty much the same for a while, but then, as your muscle mass levels off, you will start losing weight at a faster rate. Things like what you say, wraps, dietary supplement pills and the like are all temporary... if they do anything at all, that is. It never ceases to amaze me at how many people want that silver bullet to drop ten or twenty pounds overnight without having to do any real work to accomplish the goal...
I tried a seaweed body wrap at home before. I read about it in a magazine---and I went out and bought all this seaweed at a health food store and bought a stockpile of shower curtains--that's what I wrapped myself in. Every day for 2 weeks I slathered mushy--fish smelling seaweed all over my body and wrapped myself in a shower curtain in the bathtub for 30 mins to an hour. I don't think it did anything except make me stink like fish......seriously.....
sounds like bull... maybe when it's done you might sweat a bit, maybe it will draw minerals and water some excess salt, might clean your body from extra dead cells. you might lose a few pounds, but next day they'll be back...
