Anyone tried a sweatvest?

[Fairy.]

I'm cutting jan, to be honest I highly doubt the claims are realistic but has anyone tried this while training, Basically a bin bag around you just curious the claims do make me laugh tho...

They say...

LOSE UP TO 2Lbs IN ONE SESSION

Training in a Sweatz Vest doesn?t simply make you lose body fluids, it starts a chain of events in your body that lead to dynamic weight loss. Here?s the science?


Producing one gram of sweat requires 0.568 kcal. A moderately conditioned person can easily sweat off between 300-800 kcal when wearing a Sweatz Vest while exercising. 500 grams of sweat consumes 300 kcal, which is equivalent to running 2-3 miles. While the weight of the water lost can be regained by drinking water, the calories consumed will not be.

Metabolic rates increase 100% for every 10C rise in temperature. An increase in temperature from 98.6F to 104F while exercising in a Sweatz Vest should increase metabolism by about 30%.

Detoxifying the body helps in weight loss. People who have unsuccessfully tried many diets often find success with Sweatz vests because they are able to eliminate chemicals stored in the fat cells. This makes weight loss much easier.

Sweatz Vests balance your body. Exercising when wearing a Sweatz Vest causes Profuse Sweating which effectively reduces heavy metals which have been directly related to metabolic imbalances in the body causing poor digestion and weight gain.

Sweating decreases fat-stored toxins. Often weight loss cannot be accomplished unless lipophilic toxins are first removed. Exercising when wearing a Sweatz Vest can accomplish this.

Burn 600 extra calories in one short session. Although weight loss due to perspiration (water loss) is quickly regained sending more blood to the capillaries and converting fats and carbohydrates results in as much as 600 calories burned during one short Sweatz vest session.

Sweating is a work out in itself for your body. In fact, a 30 minute sweat creates roughly the same amount of perspiration as a 10 kilometre run. But your body doesn?t simply lose fluid whilst sweating, it rids itself of the toxins that actually prevent your body from losing stubborn fat.

It takes more energy to sweat, so the more you sweat wearing a Sweatz Vest the more calories you can burn off.

It's bogus for the most part. Granted that "theoretically", thermal stress does have a metabolic effect and does have an influence on energy substrate usage patterns and hormonal responses - all leading to increased overall 24 hour energy expenditure and lipolysis, what they fail to mention is that dehydration presents a problem itself. Proper hydration is important to support fat metabolism since dehydration can impair the liver's role in fat metabolism. Dehydration can also increase cortisol levels. They only tell you one part of the bigger picture.

sounds like bs

The same strategy of running around the gym draped in garbage bags to make a weigh in... in10city has it right. Not only is it a skewed perception on weight loss for the intention of selling a product, it's also dangerous.

yeah, sounds like you could over heat and dehydrate real easy

I used sweatvests, I put one on, Then a vest, Then a tracksuit top, Do 30 mins on the running machine (4.5km) and sweat my ass off, And I seem to be getting shreadded the more I do, Yes hydration is important, Which is why you drink lots of water before, during and after a sweat run

Unless you are trying to make weight for a fight, there is no point to this....

It seems to be helping me loose my beer gut, My training went tits up due to personal issues, And ive got kind of fat and lost my abs, Doing 3 sweat runs a week is defiantly working, Helps do more in a short space of time
