Do herbal body wraps really work or do they just cause you loose water weight?

Herbal wraps aren't meant to help you lose weight, even though some people try to makes those claims.  Herbal wraps are to help you detoxify, to renourish and remineralize your body and to improve skin quality.  If you do lose weight it's because you sweat inside the wrap.

The way it works is that it makes you sweat a lot.  All you are losing is water weight that will come back after you eat or drink.  You probably aren't in danger of dehydration, though.  \n\nThe only thing they are really good for is if you want to lose an inch or two for just a short time, like if you're going to a party or something.  Wear one for an hour or so while you work out, or wear it to bed.

no they dont. at first you think that they do. but the only thing they do is to dehydrate you even more than you were( which is the initial cause of your problem) andit will cause kidney damage in a matter of time.\n\nthey slow your metaboism down. so quite frankly, i have to tell you what happened to ME. i used them so much. i lost the water weight i intended to, and surprise. i had sever edema after only use of 4 weeks. im still struggling to get rid of the excess water. also it damaged my heart and kidnies. so dont use them. drink a lot of water, which will hydrate you and thus will help you get rid of the excess water weight\ngood luck

Saunabelt just removes water-weight.  Make SURE you're drinking water.\n\nYour body needs some sugars and fats to function.  Please don't hurt your body.\n\nExercise and eat small portions of healthy foods.

The whole Maxman group is bogus.  They are just selling an herbal supplement.  Now they admit that they won't provide miracles, but I want to emphasis that nothing they are providing will has really been tested to show any real results.  I would recommend a multi vitamin, healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and eliminate any smoking if you want that maximum blood flow to certain parts of your anatomy.

What a sauna does is make you sweat, which gets rid of all of the moisture in your body, making you dehydrated. While it is okay to do this occasionally, if you don't replace the fluids that you've lost from sweating, you can become chronically dehydrated. This can lead to serious health problems not only with your skin and hair, but with your kidneys and bladder as well. \n\nSaunas do not help you to lose weight. You only lose water, which to remain healthy, you have to replace. This is the equivalent of weiging yourself with a wet shirt on, and then weighing yourself with a dry shirt on. Obviously the wet one will weigh more. \n\nThe healthiest way to lose weight is to eat sensibly and exercise in moderation.

Herbalife products work for many people.  I've tried them and I like the wild berry flavor.  I've lost 15 pounds in a month with a combination of shakes and exercise.  Some people will initially lose inches around the waist before they lose any weight.  Being consistent (such as allowing equal time between meals and shakes) plus light exercises will help.  The pills sometimes made me nauseous.  I asked my distributor and he recommended something called "Herbal Aloe Drink".  Herbaldietshop.com has a good weight loss FAQ if you are concerned about your program. Good luck!

I agree with riptyde, and by the way your symtom also sound fimilliar, i used to have a friend who have the same problem until she noted that she wore the wrong type of bra, try some hormone pills and get some bras with beter cuttings (i dont know how to check on the cuttings) \n\nand this also can happen if you sit too much! sitting after meal will cause these problems... got and take up swimming and marathon, these are the cheapest lose weight methods!

Everything is bad for you if not used in moderation. Also anything you use to change the way your body naturally functions cannot be great for you. It is OK to use, but not for long periods of time, and not in excess. Best results are seen from hard work and healthy eating. Pills, drinks, and magic are not good solutions to weight loss. If your not sweating to shed pounds, your not doing it the right way.

Only water weight, which means your going to gain it right back as Soon as you drink anything...so no. Sorry. Would be nice though wouldn't it? \nInteresting note that kinda contradicts the whole sauna thing: Drinking cold water burns slightly more calories then drinking warm or room temperture water because your body has to use energy to heat it up and maitain your overall body temperature. That's key, your body has to use more energy then it takes in to loose weight. You aren't using any energy in a suana. Just sweating off water weight.

This question comes up all the time on here. No they do not work. If you read small print they only claim to aid weight loss. You still have to exercise and eat healthy which works on its own. People must be made to understand, fat takes time to build up and time to lose. Its hard work but that is the penalty for overeating and eating Junk. Adverts are always Glossed up, dont be taken in.\nPlenty of water to wash out your toxins, plenty of healthy\nfood, no salt, no sugar, no fat, no so called Diet Plans and lots of exercise to Burn off your Fat Store. Think about  the time it took to gain the weight, its always quicker to lose it. Most important: Be honest with yourself about your eating habits, some people, and they know who they are, always cheat or give up to easily. Nobody ever said that losing weight is easy. Its not, you have to work at it.                 Good Luck

I do not think so!\n\nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nAnyone who attempts to lose weight by reducing calorie consumption experiences feelings of hunger and fatigue. Hoodia diet pills attempt to reduce those feelings, making it easier to stick to a low calorie diet and therefore lose weight. As with any weight loss plan, only people who are in good health should use hoodia diet pills and they should be used in conjunction with appropriate diet and exercise. Because thirst is suppressed as well as appetite, it is important to remember to drink plenty of water. Most experts recommend eight 8 ounce glasses per day to maintain proper hydration. Other than thirst suppression, there are no known side effects associated with hoodia diet pills and they are probably a much better choice than diet pills containing stimulants.\n\nI tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1.

Didn't work well for me. Side effects - didn't really notice any. I was nauseated quite a bit though. Pro's vs Con's - most diet pills can work but only temporarily and they are not healthy for long term use. I had to make a change as I had to loose weight. I discovered that a natural and healthy approach is much better as I have tried all kinds of plans, diets, pills, etc (I'm 45). I just started a natural and healthy "No Diet Weight Loss" plan along with a healthy and natural high energy drink and I have lost 24 pounds and 2 3/4" in my waist in 31 days (Today being my 31st day on the plan) with 0 side effects - However, the choice is totally up to you and no one else

I took Trimspa for about a week... and I'll be honest... I lost weight.. but I was in the bathroom at least 10 times a day... I think it makes all your supposed water weight come out to make you feel lighter.  If you have a job to where you can run to the bathroom every half hour... then go for it! I'm a bank teller.. and sometimes it's kinda hard to get away from my station.  Also, another thing... when I took the pills, which was usually in the morning before work... I felt as if something in my chest was burning right after I took them.  I'm not sure if it was because they were going down my throat or not... but it was SO scary! And sometimes I felt like I was having chest pains! It's not a nice feeling... but people are different! All I can say is try it for a few days... if you like it... keep going.. if you don't... STOP! That's what I did.  It was great I lost a few pounds but the feeling I had when I took them and the bathroom breaks was not worth it.  I'll just stay chunky.  My fiance loves me for who I am.  Good luck hunny! :)

no.it will only make you sweat out water weight that you gain back the next time you take a drink.saunas are good for cleansing the skin and for aches and pains
