I know excercise and healthy eating helps you lose weight, Im just curious, could wrapping my belly in saran wrap before I work out help me? If so, will I be burning more fat or is it water weight? I recently had two babies(toddlers under 3). I can't lose my baby belly even though Im losing weight everywhere else.
Please don't judge me like people get alot, I am doing this healthy,serious answers only. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately saran wrap will just make you sweat more and any weight you lose will be water. Some people say that sweating when you exercise makes you lose weight. It does if you're aiming to lose water but it doesnt affect the fat. Sweating is just a sign that you're hot, when you exercise it can be because you're converting some of the extra energy from breaking down the fat into heat energy. It doesnt work the other way though- you cant burn fat because you're sweating. Being hot for long periods of time actually lowers your metabolism and you burn less energy! The way to lose more weight (from fat) is to gain muscle because the muscle is what uses up the energy in the fat, therefore the more you have the more energy you burn. I'm not saying turn into a bodybuilder but balance your cardio exercise with resistance and weights. "baby-bellies" are usually more from loose skin and muscle than fat. All skin has a certain layer of fat underneath it, especially in your abdomen, hips, thighs and bottom so when you pinch it it will look like its all fat but it's really just doubled over - think like when you fold a slice of bread in half. Make sure you're doing the right exercises to strengthen your abdomen and tighten the muscles back up as you probably know they stretch and go out of shape during pregnancy. Unfortunately the same happens with the skin. You can help it regain some of the elasticity it used to have through moisturising. There are creams on the market but they tend to have limited effects. If when you get back into shape with the rest of your body but your belly doesnt then I think the only option if it REALLY worries you is surgery but it's quite drastic and it should only be if you want it. I can guarantee other people dont notice your tummy as much as you do. I hope that helps to some extent

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

No - that is just one of those fad diet tricks. Eating right (with small portions and six-seven times a day) along with exercise is the only way to lose weight. I should know, I lost 50 pounds that way, and am now pretty buff! The only way saran wrap could help you lose weight is if you use it to wrap up leftovers instead of eating them! Good luck! Your goal is achievable!

Saran Wrap will help you lose weight only if you use it to keep the food wrapped and away from your mouth.

Many people have used saran wrap and swear by it for weight loss. It does help you sweat more. Exercise and sweat helps burn fat. I don't believe this is The only answer to weight loss, but there's no reason not to try it. Make sure you are eating healthy foods, no fats, avoid junk food, and eat small portions of food at least four times a day. Drink lots of water before and after your exercise session.
