I work in a country where it is 40 in the day. I heard that you can lose more weight by putting a cut out garbage bag under your shirt to sweat more. Has anyone done this? Or know any results.

Hmmmmmm ok, no your not going to lose weight like that. Seriously its just going to make you very dehydrated, which can lead to delusion.

I have never done this personally, but my husband says it does work. When he was in high school on the wrestling team if him or a teammate needed to drop a few pounds to make it into a weight class they would jog with garbage bags taped around them under their clothes. It is just water weight though, and it does come back.

You'll lost water weight. However as soon as you drink something you'll put it back on. It's not worth the risk of dehydration. You should make an appt to see a nutrionalist for safe and smart methods of weight loss.

I think there may be initially, but you have to be careul about how much water you are retaining also, or the sweating isn't going to do you much good. If you cut down on sodium intake, this would probably work.

it will cause you to sweat and you will only loose water weight you could become dehydrated also
so it really doesn't work because as soon as you drink something it will put the water right back in to you

it would work, but you only lose water weight. The next time you drink, you will gain it all back. So its really a lost cause. You want to lose fat weight not water weight.

I think the concept of sweating more to lose more weight is correct, but I don't think you'll lose a significant amount of weight for it to be worth it.

If might make the scale read less, but you're losing pure water weight and its not healthy or even true weight loss

wrestlers use it to drop weight quickly for weigh ins to wrestler at a lower weight, but actually it is just your body's water you are losing and you need that, espicially if you are working. I say just work harder to work up a natural sweat!

Been there, tried that and you lose water weight, but the minute you drink water, it just comes back on
