Do Body Wraps actually work?

This morning I had the opportunity to read a question on yahoo about whether or not body wraps work for fast weight loss. To me it's quite interesting how many things keep coming out to help people lose weight faster then ever. What is even more interesting is how people run to buy certain products because it's easy and requires them to do little to no work at all. But let me ask you...

If it's true, that body wraps work while isn't everyone using them?

Grant it there are people who like working out and most of us are LAZY. Yes, I know it because it's difficult for me as it is for you to get a workout in. But again, why isn't everyone using them?
The reason is rather simple. They don't work!

Body wraps can help you lose inches in a matter of hours, this is very true. But go and eat some food and drink some fluids and POOF, there goes the inches piling right back on. Body wraps help you lose water weight. Now you might say, hey I just want to lose weight... and if that's the case then great you can do that.

But there's a big difference between losing weight and losing fat. You can lose water weight and look exactly the way you look now with no difference. The only thing that changes is what the number on the scale says. But that's not what you want.... You want to have a flat stomach, toned arms, nice shapely legs and glutes that just have people screaming "OH MY GOD".

Let me stop you now from investing in weight loss gimmicks that simply will run your pockets dry. I'm sorry to say it but in order to get something as special as a toned and healthy body will require work. And I'm not talking about the light variety either. You will have to bust your ass to get results.

But you want to know what?

It will be well worth it, when you try on that new dress, or that new pair of jeans and see that they fit. Better yet go get your old clothes and burn them because you are now SEXY and fabulous as Wendy Williams would say.
