Trying to take off the inches.?


Question:
I am trying to take some inches off my waist. I walk 6 days a week for 45 to 60 minutes roughly two and a half to five miles a day (depending on my mood) with a backpack weighing 30 lbs. Which I have been doing for 3 weeks. I have been told that plastic wrap around the waist would help aid in taking off inches. What I want to know... is this true? has anyone ever tried it? If so, what were your results? also, Is it safe?
Real answers please.

Answers:
The plastic wrap myth has been around for decades. The plastic wrap will cause the area to sweat and lose water content so it appears to be thinner when you take a pate measures to it. However, over night when you body replenishes your cells with the necessary moisture the skin will plump up again and go back to it's original size. Thats how slimming creams work.

It not healthy to remove the moisture from your cells and can be harmful it you continually do it, so skip the wrap (all wraps)

The only true way that you will take those inches off of your waist is through a health diet, cardio (which you are already doing) and some targeted exercises.

Although targeted exercises won't help you lose fat around the waist you can firm and flatten with exercise. One of the best for your ab area is the bicycle, followed by push aways (very similar to the bicycle) and reverse crunches. Forget about standard crunches and sit ups, you have to do way too many.

Weight Loss Facts:


Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.

You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK.

You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.

You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

What about Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig Dieting Plans?

Weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers (and Jenny Craig) usually involve slower dieting progress over a longer period of time, since such programs generally promise only 2-3 pounds of weight loss per week. Also, programs such as Jenny Craig usually involve buying special meals and/or dietary supplements during the initial phases of the program. While some people may like these types of dietary programs, we prefer a dieting plan which focuses on faster weight loss, such as the Accelerated Fat Burning Program shown below...
