Their justification for wearing one overnight is that the additional hours in the waist trainer maximize waist training benefits.

A waist trainer is the modern day corset. It’s worn around your midsection to create the illusion that you have an hourglass figure. There are three primary types of waist trainers: Everyday trainers. Designed to be worn under clothing, these waist trainers typically provide compression with a latex core and hook-and-eye closures.

Sturdier than an everyday waist trainer, workout waist trainers usually have a latex core. Many are designed to be worn outside clothing. Steel-boned trainers. More traditional in design, these waist trainers are reinforced with flexible steel boning and typically include tightening laces in the back. Most waist trainers claim to shape your waist into a sculpted silhouette or help with weight loss. Are the claimed benefits of waist training true? Although not supported by the medical community, proponents of waist training claim that waist training garments can result in: An hourglass figure When the waist trainer is put on and tightened, many people feel that it gives them a more attractive figure with an impressively slim waist, accentuated bust, and curvy hips. The concept is that if you wear the waist trainer for long enough periods, your body will be trained to maintain that shape. This claim has been widely disputed by doctors and medical organizations. They suggest that waist trainers don’t provide long-term shaping benefits. Better posture While you’re wearing a waist trainer, it’s likely that you’ll maintain good posture. There’s a concern, however, that wearing a waist trainer too much may weaken your core muscles which could lead to poor posture and back discomfort. Decreased appetite The claim for a decreased appetite is based on the waist trainer putting pressure on your stomach. If your stomach is compressed, it’s likely that you’ll reach a feeling of fullness faster than if your stomach was not being squeezed. Weight loss Although there’s anecdotal evidence of weight loss during waist training, it is most likely due to fluid loss from perspiration. Waist trainer side effects The concern about the side effects of waist training is the potential for physical damage. Compressing your midsection can: force organs like your kidneys and liver into unnatural positions

impair internal organ function by crowding

reduce core muscle strength

cause rib fracture

deprive you of oxygen, possibly by reducing lung capacity by 30 to 60 percent

restrict lymphatic system

create digestive tract blockages

promote acid reflux

How many times should you drink coffee to lose weight?

Drinking four cups of coffee daily could reduce body fat by about 4%, according to a recent study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers.

hsph.harvard.edu - Four cups of coffee a day associated with modest loss of body fat | News

Drinking four cups of coffee daily could reduce body fat by about 4%, according to a recent study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers. The finding comes from a 24-week investigation in which 126 overweight, non-insulin sensitive adults drank daily either four cups of regular coffee or four cups of a coffee-like placebo beverage. The study was designed to determine if coffee consumption reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Previous observational studies have linked drinking coffee with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, yet coffee’s effects on blood sugar metabolism have not been well defined. In the current study, coffee did not affect the study participants’ sensitivity to insulin – the hormone that regulates sugar levels in the blood. The study did yield an unexpected result: Drinking coffee was associated with a modest loss of body fat. According to a January 13, 2020 HealthDay News article, Derrick Alperet, a study coauthor and research fellow in the Department of Nutrition, and colleagues think that the fat loss may be due to the caffeine in coffee increasing the drinker’s metabolism, which may burn more calories and cause a decrease in body fat.
