Saran Wrap while exercising?

Question

So my mom used to wrap Saran Wrap around her stomach while she exercised and she lost a good bit of weight, but she also didn't eat. My mom and I both have a problem where we don't sweat from exercises. I can run/walk 3 miles in a day and I don't sweat, so I'm not losing any weight. Is wrapping Saran Wrap around your mid section okay to help you sweat and lose weight? I want to lose weight but I want it to be in a healthy way. My mom lost weight but didn't eat and exercised multiple hours a day after not exercising for 10 years.

Answer

Sweating isn't the reason your mom lost weight. She lost weight from starving herself and working out 10 hours a day. Both of those are not healthy. You can work up to working out that much, but shouldn't start out at 10 hours a day if you are a beginner. Eat properly and mix cardio and strength training. You may not get "results" as fast as your mom did, but you will eventually. And you will be healthier and your results will last longer.

Answer

It's just like a sweat suit. Just stay hydrated.

This is what it do inside on rainy days.

Answer

Yes its ok BUT i recommend adding in a moisturizer under the saranwrap to help with itching and making the skin supple its what i use to do.  I loved bio oil but it go expensive and there wa5a another product i used that a group on fb recommended.  Also STAY hydrated if you are sweating you need water!  Dont leave it on for 5-6hrs at a time or at least talk to your doc about an appropriate time limit.

Answer

It just makes you lose water weight or dehydrate your skin faster.  No real weight loss to it. That goes with eating right and exercising to burn calories.

Answer

Sweating only makes you lose water weight, not fat, which will come back once you hydrate again. Not eating anything and exercising is how your mom lost weight, but I guarantee if she was not fueling her body she lost more lean muscle mass than she did fat. Your body consumes both when you work out, but you need to fuel your body to keep and gain muscle. Your body cannot rebuild and repair muscle unless it gets the proper nutrients. If you are running as much as you say you are, then something else needs to change if you are not losing weight. This means your food consumption may not be on track, or you also need to incorporate weight training. People love cardio because they think it burns the most calories and fat, but if you build muscle then you will actually burn more calories/fat in the long run. A body with lean muscle requires more energy to get through the day than a skinny body that has less muscle mass. My body was in the best shape when I did both cardio and weight training.

Answer

My husband does saran wrap on top of preparation H. Wraps it tight and sleeps like that the week before a p.t. test

Answer

If you have the same workout routine every day, your muscle memory kicks in and you basically are doing nothing for yourself. Your muscles think that these actions are normal everyday activities and you will plateau. Wrapping saran around you will make you sweat more but it will only be water weight you lose, it will come back as soon as you are hydrated properly. Stay hydrated. Don't starve yourself. You'll probably gain weight before you lose any.
