saran wrap



Recommended Posts

ok I have an odd question...while working out does anyone wrap their abs in suran wrap?? :confused2: I see a few women at my gym that do this and being the odd duck that I am I wanted to try it. so I was just wondering if anyone does it and what does it do for you? does it help you suck it in? help lose weight in that area? can I do this with my thighs also?

lots of silly questions I know but if anyone has done this or knows anything about it I would appreciate the info.

My mom used to do this while she was working out, something about making you sweat more, or something of that nature, shoot, why not try it out, if it makes a difference, let me know.

I also had a friend would would buy like plastic suits to wear under her work out clothes, again, designed to make you sweat more.

I dont know what the validity of those claims are, but its very interesting.

Saran Wrap insulates you while you exercise, basically dehydrating yourself. People use it as a very temporary spot treatment, e.g. on the upper arms before an evening in a strapless gown. You "sweat off inches" (as it's advertised at the spas that offer it for about $150 a pop), but drink a glass of Water and those inches come right back. :biggrin:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
