The products don't work, but the plan may. Of course, the plan would work just as well without the product, which is nothing more than a psychological crutch. Some devices are also promoted for weight loss. These stimulators can be dangerous when used incorrectly. Hazards include electrical shocks and burns.
Body wraps are another favorite gimmick of the quacks.
The wraps are worn around part or all of the body, sometimes preceded by the application of a cream or lotion. Furthermore, experts consider them dangerous because they can cause severe dehydration and circulatory problems. There are no magic foods, pills, wraps, diets or wands for losing weight. The only way to lose weight is to consistently eat fewer calories than the body needs and uses. But teenagers should be cautioned about excessive dieting.
