Specialist Fabiola Josefina Lopez Pantoja said that using pants, girdles and even plastic bags to lose weight while exercising does not achieve that goal and, on the contrary, is harmful to health.
He indicated that many men and women go to the gym or exercise outdoors or inside their homes “with pieces of plastic under their clothes, more often at the height of the abdomen, believing that they will burn more calories or that there will be a detoxification that speeds up weight loss, but it"s just a myth “.
The physical education teacher attached to the Social Security Center of the IMSS Jalisco said that sweating does not eliminate fat, but is a reaction that the body has to regulate the temperature.
“What will make the use of plastic clothes or plastic girdles is that the body heat rises and far from losing weight the person is going to dehydrate and oxygen will be lacking in their cells,” he said.
In turn, the director of the Unit of Family Medicine 54, José Luis López Macías, said that symptoms similar to those of heat stroke, such as nosebleeds, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, fainting and even may occur. , in the most extreme cases, coma.
He noted that although sometimes people could detect the reduction of measures after using some of these clothes, “the reality is that water was lost, not fat, so that those centimeters will recover with the passage of days “.
He invited the population to use comfortable clothing and materials that allow free transpiration, as well as being constant with exercise, hydrate with simple water and maintain a balanced diet, to achieve an ideal weight effectively.
