There's no evidence that a body wrap will help you lose weight. While you may be down a few pounds after using one, this is mainly due to water loss. As soon as you hydrate and eat, the number on the scale will go right back up. The only proven way to lose weight is through proper diet and adequate exercise.
In one 12-week study, 45 dieters lost an average of 11 pounds (5 kg) by replacing 2 meals per day with healthy meal replacement shakes ( 1 ). In...

Read More »When it comes to losing weight, there’s definitely not a shortage of ways to go about it. From extreme diets to the latest fitness craze, Americans are desperate to drop their pounds. So, it’s no wonder that new products hit the market every day. Body wraps are one of the more popular products claiming to help you lose inches, drop weight, and tone up your loose skin. But how can a wrap do all of that? We explain what you need to know. How do body wraps claim to help you lose weight? Like most weight loss products, body wraps claim to be “the answer” to your battle with the bulge. And depending on the type of wrap, the claims range from losing a few pounds and inches in 30 to 90 minutes, to several dress sizes over a longer period of time. While they can make your skin feel nice and smooth, the idea that a body wrap can whittle away inches from your waist or thighs is debatable. Most of the claims are anecdotal and come from people who have tried using body wraps for weight loss. It can be difficult to trust these results because you don’t know what other methods they’re using to lose weight at the same time. Some people use a neoprene body wrap, which is similar to wrapping plastic wrap around your mid-section. The makers of these wraps claim that you lose weight by increasing your core body temperature. In other words, you sweat a lot — especially if you wear it while exercising. This can cause you to lose water weight, so if you hop on the scale immediately after using one, the number may be less than it was the day before. But is this even safe? Not necessarily. Here’s why: When you sweat, your body loses fluids. If you’re not replacing those fluids you can become dehydrated. Plus, raising your core body temperature can lead to overheating, which isn’t always safe. Other types of body wraps Other methods of using body wraps include treatments you can get at a spa. The person applying the wrap may be a massage therapist or esthetician, but they can also just be an employee trained in using these wraps. There are many different types of body wraps used at spas, including: heat wraps that require you to apply heat cream on your skin and then wrap your body with a plastic film
