i have never heard of this. i am interested in more details on what this is and how it is supposed to work. i do remember they used to sell rubber pants that were supposed to help you lose pounds but it only made you loose water and once you drank all the "weight" you lost came right back.

If this is one of those muscle stimulator type things, then all it is doing is sending a very small stream of electricity to cause the muscle to tighten, which would not burn calories at all, it would seem, as the electricity is causing the muscle contraction, not an effort by you! You only use calories when you are expending energy. Lying down having some electricity shot into a muscle wouldn't be the same thing it would seem. This will tighten muscles up, but it is not exercising at all. I wouldn't consider this is to be a form of exercise and especially no think that any measureable amount of calorie expenditure is being done. You would do better to get out and move your body in some fashion to use calories. just my two cents. karen (open rny, 9/6/01, 297/145)
