You will lose water from your tissues (temporarily) which might be just enough to put them in the proper weight category for the fight.

Your friend must have lied. You can't burn fat without burning calories. The only thing that i can think of close to that is when people wrap themselves up with some plastic similar to that and go in a sauna or just run and stuff and they sweat a lot. That does make you lose weight but none of it is fat, it is all water.
Boxers do something similar to that. They get a suit and get in a sauna to lose about 5 pounds to weigh in at their weight class.

It depletes the water from your system and could cause dehydation causing some of your bodily functions to shut down. You don't want to do this.

Oh yea it works... till you drink water!
If your like a model and you did that before a shoot I can maybe seeing the sense in it. But for normal people, no it doesn't work. Just till you eat/drink though it does! haha

only if you excersise with it on. but dont confuse this with body fat, alll you'll lose is water weight and that will only last about a day or so b/c eventually you will have to rehidrate your body...

no its all to do with fluid loss. you have to drink again later to replenish what you lost and then you'll be the same again as far as i know anyway. read tips on weight loss the natural way and exercise programs to better help you on this site

wrapping yourself makes you sweat more therefore losing more fat waste & toxin in your body
