Body wraps and waist belts that shrink fatty cell are unfortunately not true. This is the common misconception for most people.

For centuries body wraps are seen as the remedy for losing weight in many expensive spas or weight loss shops!! There are those who even swear by it. Many say that they help in losing the body weight, even the fat and most of the times the inches as well.

Shopping network seem to be bombarded with products like wraps and belts. Some sell it as a price so nominal that every Tom, Dick and Harry can afford it. Some prices are exorbitant so much so that looking at the products you would say "Whew!! That is expensive."

Now coming back to reality! Does anyone even know what the difference between losing fat and losing inches mean? No it's not a trick question. Scientifically, as we see it, when the fat in the human body decreases, the circumference also drops off.

It is wise to know that the loss in terms of fat and in inches is just not the same.

Body wraps and waist belts surely do not reduce the fatty cells or even burn. No matter what the material is. It could be say rubber, plastic, bandages or such. No matter what you have wrapped inside you, could be herbs, minerals, or even mud, it will be of no help.

Remember that excess fat can be reduced only with something called "caloric deficit" which is better with reduced intake of food and a boost in activity. Ideally the two can be combined.The body wraps which do not include exercise or nutrition, is not worth all the trouble you go through. It's better to say NO to the sales executive, no matter how convincing he may sound.

Initially it sounds exciting when they say; lose fat in one hour, or even better lose fat without exercise or diet. As simple as it seems, it's just the opposite. It is wrong and surely not supported by scientists. When you wrap the body wraps around you. You only lose the inches.

The vendors fool the customers and get money out of them, and it is well known to them that there is a big difference between losing inches and fat!

Yes there is more, things like "sauna wraps" or rubber "wraps" are just a waste of money. Not one ounce of fat is burnt. An inch lost is just the loss of fluids.

Remember all these wraps and waists are more harmful than being useful.

Experts say that some wraps which are sold can unsafe especially because there is loss of fluids and excessive dehydration.

Last but not the least, body wraps and waist belts may just help in shedding a few inches, but trust me they don't shed a single might take off some inches or water weight, but they can't take off a single bit of fat. So its better to adhere to the golden rule: All that glitters is not gold!!
