Do you keep up with the latest trends in Hollywood? I do because I'm a giver. No need to thank me, it's my calling.
Waist training is one of the latest fads. My official statement on this trend is as follows:
Just.
Say.
No.
Here's a little secret for you, Beyonce had a great body before she had ever heard of waist training.
Just in case you aren't aware of them, waist trainers (or waist cinchers) are supposed to "tighten your core, increase perspiration, release toxins, and metabolize fat". I guess the name Fat Smasher had already been trademarked, so they had to go with waist training.
Let's go through a few of those points:
-Just because your clothes are tight on your core does not mean the muscles of your core are being tightened. Once you unleash them from their bondage, they will flee back to their natural habitat.
-Darn right you are going to sweat! Jam me in a cat lady suit and I will lose 10 pounds of water weight pretty quicks. And you will lose your lunch if you look at me.
Stop putting my face on this picture!
Sorry for putting that mental image in your head.
Water weight that you have lost comes right back on when you drink water. This is the same reason that sauna suits don't work either.
Stay away from sauna suits too.
-On the plus side, sweating does reduce toxins so they got that going for them.
-You won't lose fat. Your fat is being shoved and crammed into different regions of your body. It's still there, it's just probably behind your ear or some other weird place.
