Slimming Body Wrap..

I was looking through a booklet I got from a spa I got a facial at months ago.. and I noticed they had a body wrap (115$) that promised 4-13inches lost with each session.. They say if you keep up with diet and exercise the inches wont come back..

So my question here is.. DOes anyone know anything about these body wraps?.. Better yet, anyone who has ever had one done with their results???

Thanks!

Wrapping one's waist with saran wrap the night before a taping is an old military trick.  For those of us with skinny necks, it's a lifesaver because it will take an inch or two off- unfortunately, it's temporary.  I think it's just because you're sweating out water from the area. 

I had a friend who recently tried one of these wraps: She said it was fabulous if you want to look gorgeous in a dress for an event, but the inches do creep back on quite quickly.

Thats what I was thinking would happen.. They say its done in a series of 6, you keep up with diet and exercise itll stay off... but  was a little skeptical, and at that price, I wanted to make sure..lol..

Thanks!

so what they're saying is that if you eat less and exercise more for six weeks, you'll lose weight?  shocking!

LOL!

I see a local spa has an 'algae body wrap' .. is this the type of thing it is ? Or is it a specific type of wrap?

Thanks!

No, if you eat less and exercise more and give the spa $115 every so often you'll lose weight. What good is being thin and healthy if your wallet is still bloated and stuffed to the gills? 

How funny you mentioned this wrap.  Yes, out of desperation 5 years ago, I tried it.  The one I did was the kind that they wrap you in ACE bandages from head to toe.....you literally look like a mummy.   They then put plastic bags on your feet and make you do light movements on a machine that resembes a "gazelle" workout equipment.  While you are moving your arms and legs back and forth for about an hour, the assistant drenches you in some kind of solution.  That's why there are plastic bags on your feet....to catch this fluid.  

They measure you before and after and it somehow seems to work.  I lost 8 inches but it eventually found it's way back home!

I won't waste my money on it again.   I just had to try it to get into a dress!
