Q: I have seen about one 'sauna' belt.U are supposed to just wear this belt and lose points from ur belly area just in a matter of 2 weeks.You only wear this andu do it.In work,in a walk,reading a newspaper or doing everything.Theirs invertors claim that it can burn around 600 calories an hour and this cause with the hot it produces it makes u sweat a lot and in that way u lose fat from the area u spot with it.Also they say gym is not enough cause u need to make too much so u can sweat so much.It shows also people who have lost fat from their belly area with it only in 2 weeks.What is your opinion on this?Can sweat burn so much calories?Is this perhaps only water loss?It really sounds too good to be true isnt it?!

A: It's complete garbage. Sweating by itself will never ever make you burn fat, it just makes you lose water and leaves you dehydrated. After you're done sweating you'll (hopefully) drink enough water to replenish the water you lost and will be back at the starting point. This belt along with many other 'fat-burning' contraptions is at best a total waste of money. And it worst it'll dehydrate you enough to actually jeopardize your health.

THERE ARE NO GOOD SHORTCUTS when trying to lose fat. It's very simple to do and just requires knowledge (which I try to provide on this site), patience, and discipline. If you got those three things, you can pretty much count on being able to lose up to 50 pounds of FAT (not just 'weight') per year AND keep them off afterwards. Do the right thing and you'll be thanking yourself the rest of your life.
