Continuing from the previous post about spot reduction..There are several products on the market that "guarantee" fat loss around the mid-section. Advertisers claim they can target problem areas like the back of your arms, belly, thighs, upper back etc.
How do they "work"?
Check out this ad to get an idea about how they claim the weight loss actually occurs:

Advertisers claim it would make you sweat, sweat,sweat!It claims you can lose upto 1kg and 3cm in one hour! It is true! It does make you sweat! But you do not lose fat! You lose water! The product dehydrates you! You will put on that weight again as soon as you drink some water.
These belts do increase body heat and cause calorie loss, but you would be better off just going for a 30min walk instead. Also, problems like redness-scarring of the area where the belt is tightened are real.
In short, there is no substitute to good quality exercise and eating healthy.
