Doubt it will help you lose weight... at best it MIGHT help tighten up your ab muscles but that seems to be a bit of a stretch... the product says you n eed to have ahealthy diet and lifestyle, so tehy don't seem to think the product will help a person lose weight...

even if you were to tone a flabby tummy, if there's still a layer of flabbiness, it's not going to help much.

It's been said before, it'll be said again... Diet and exercise are what helps you lose weight.
 
Oh man, I'm sorry to shoot down your idea, but those things are junk - probably why so many people are selling theirs. The "stimulation" of your nerves is really just a series of short ELECTRICAL SHOCKS to your belly! They're not enough to hurt you or anything, but it'll be as effective in helping you lose weight as a tin foil hat.

If you are serious about losing weight, then you need to take a hard, honest look at your life, and find out what about it made you overweight in the first place, and then fix it. Fix it right, and fix it forever, not just until the extra weight is gone.

I hope you decide to come back for a second, third and thousandth post, because along with a good lifestyle, this forum is a great social support to help you out. There are tons of great people here to help you with advice and cheerleading :)
 
I also have a similar question to this!!

I have seen these machines- Mostly used in movies that take place in the 60's where a woman stands on a treadmil like thing, but instead of running, there is a giant band that goes around her back and connects to the machine... And it like... Vibrates. Anyone know what I'm talking about? My Grandma had one. I have no clue what they do- I always used to think they were a joke!

-N-
 
I had one of those things (meanwhile it broke down, cos they are bad quality). It does absolutely nothing to help you (well, at least in my case it did nothing). If you really want to strengthen your abs I suggest you start exercising. Doing 100 crunches a day will certainly help you more than those belt :) Trust me, I have tried both belt and exercise and exercising is guaranteed to work while those belts are... well... useless (at least they were for me). Hope you find my insight useful :)
 
Can MP3 File help ?

Thank you all for your advices,
I strongly believe there are alternative ways to lose weight other than diet and exercises .
I personally know some people who eat a lot and don't exercise and they never get weight , and even more , one of them told me she eats a lot and eat all fattening food just to put on weight, but it never happened
However I fund a product at eBay , and the seller claim it will help , it is in fact MP3 file ..:confused: :confused: :confused:
So I'd like to know your opinion about it as well ,



Thank you again ,
 
People like that have a fast metabolism and don't gain weight- they are lucky... for those of us unlucky - diet and exercise are the way to go -- if there was a magic formula or a tape or a machine that allowed a person to lose weight - there'd be no overweight people...

Yep, just like Maleficent said, those people are very lucky and have a fast metabolism. I myself had a classmate back when I was in highschool who was eating 3 times as much as I was and he was all skin and bones and I was fat. Some people just have too much luck lol. And again, from my own experience, there are no alternative methods other than diet and exercise. Well, there is always the option of a gastric by-pass, but that means surgery and to my knowledge doctors only recommend it in extreme cases. Hmm, I also remember I read somewhere about a "ball" which they put in your stomach and fill with serum. The ball fills your stomach half-way (or more) and you can only eat a lot less than normal. But all these alternative methods are somewhat intrusive to your body, and for most of us "mere mortals", who were not blessed with a fast metabolism like the people you mentioned, the best and only option to losing weight is diet and exercise. ;)
 
DAMN those naturally skinny folk, they will never understand the strife, the torement!!! JK. About the electronic belt, some people are shallow heartless jerks that will do anything to get rich, anyone who says there is any other way than diet and exersize to get healthy wants your money! Sorry. But you have got all kinds of support here in doing things the old fashion way! Nice to meet you, I look forward to cheering you on!!!
