ADVICE...
Is it true that you can have a body wrap that
guarantees inch-loss and it actually stays off?
There are several body wraps that are claimed to produce inch-loss. Not
all of these claims are guaranteed though, so it is important that you do
your research and ask always if the results are guaranteed and for how long.
Some wrap techniques may increase your metabolism temporarily by increasing
your body temperature and, possibly with the use of product, stimulate
cellular activity. This can produce inch-loss, but often it is the result of
water loss. Water loss will produce immediate losses; however, it cannot be
guaranteed for an extended length of time.
There are wraps out there that guarantee a minimum inch loss (such as 6
inches, for example) with a 30 day guarantee that those inches can stay off.
This is guaranteed providing you don’t gain weight in those 30 days, which
makes perfect sense. These wraps do not produce water loss. In fact, after
the two-hour wrap it is not unusual for you to have gained a slight amount
of weight on the scale due to the body taking in much needed fluids and
extra minerals. With that being said, there are still visible inch-loss
results on both the measuring tape and in the mirror. This type of loss can
be maintained!
Wraps generally work by pulling toxins out of the body through the skin. The
skin is your biggest organ of elimination so taking the burden off your
liver and kidneys and releasing toxins through your skin is ideal. The more
toxins you have in your body, the harder it becomes for the lymphatic system
to filter properly. This results in more lymphatic fluid, which lies just
below your skin layer. When we reduce the level of toxins in this fluid and
in your body, this lymphatic fluid decreases and the cells then stay closer
together, thus providing maintainable inch loss.
For this process to take place, the body is wrapped mummy-style using warm
bandages soaked in a solution (mineral rich clay is a popular one). When on,
this wrap produces a poultice effect, where the toxins are drawn out of the
skin. Wraps are painless and actually even eliminates a lot of muscle and
joint aches and pains due to the rich mineral content and released pressures
surrounding the joints. And the general atmosphere while getting a wrap is a
huge stress reliever because during your wrap you are lying down, resting in
a cozy room with relaxing music, breathing in aromatherapy oils...picture
that while winning the battle of the bulge!
