Many people today are working to find out the best method to lose weight. Then again, being able to discover a diet plan that can work for you is hard to find. A very important factor you need to comprehend is that a diet that works for one person might not operate for another. So you have to know what your getting into before you begin one of those diets. This can provide you enough info to learn if this is something which is suitable to your needs. Read more here https://truehealthreport.com/xtreme-fat-loss-diet-review/
True Ems doesnt cut through fat very well but does help to stimulate muscle if you dont have too much fat in the way, The wraps are a joke lol
Anyone who makes money for doing this type of stuff have tried to do scams to make more money.
Thank you for an informative video. I follow your channel and I appreciate what you do. I however partly disagree with you when it comes to Electronic muscle stimulation. I am saying partly because most devices on the market a suggesting a quick fix which excludes consistent hard work and healthy eating which is misleading. I, myself have seen tremendous results with EMS as a personal trainer for Bodytec & Body20 in South Africa. We use Miha devices with Cardio and Strength programs, the clients actually do basic exercises e.g squats and many more. We support our clients through a group of qualified nutritionists and all trainers are qualified. We also encourage our clients to take a holistic approach to fitness and we use an Inbody Composition analyzer that shows consistent muscle growth and reduction in subcutaneous & visceral fat. People with different conditions that have been told they can’t lift anything at the gym are improving their fitness levels. To dismiss a concept in 30sec I think is a bit harsh and coming up with statements like “it’s a lie”, “it doesn’t work” is rather not entirely true.
Know what’s crazy? if we didn’t cripple science with religion we’d probably have the technology to lose weight from the couch
He was struggling through the whole thing. He knows he’s guilty.
What about the whole body vibration machine?? Have you done any research on them. Not as an only weight loss tool but in addition to diet and other exercise.
I heard that the POSITIVE or CURVY women sue these company, because they did not have the size for those women
The irony of this video is destroying space and time the irony of this irony is video destroying
the ems stimulator you must use it with a light work out. doctors have used it and it’s highly effective. the problem is people aren’t using them properly and then they don’t work. also they’re not dieting to support their bodies properly. I’ve used it and gained results
That’s so shitty! Sorry that you got wrapped up in that mess:(
I lost 20kg in 1 month and half, with just training in the gym with Saitama Method.. its show some result
That is SO scary….you almost have to have some kind of liability insurance to protect yourself from these things…especially because you might never know if a fan hadn’t told you.
Okay I was just telling my boyfriend how I wish this world could be more honest…we are so on the same page. If you’re crap you’re crap, be honest and work on it, if you’re awesome then be honest…just do you…
Thank you for telling me about he electric impulse devices I was going to buy an an stimulator but wasn’t sure on it until I saw this video
People should know that have to put in some work when using this items common SENSE and eating right. These items are just extra.. Detoxing Works It Works.
MattDoesFitness bought some of those products and tried it. Completely useless stuff
People who cater these products are those who do not want to waste energy to lift a weight or stretch their muscles… They just want to sit and eat something while watching tv and believe that they are loosing fats… Idiot people
i’ve tried the ab stimulater and i ain’t gonna lie it works but you still gotta keep a healthy diet and go to the gym to keep it in shape
You’re awesome! Thank you for your honest educated advice. Unfortunately, it’s not going to stop dummies from buying these useless products lol
Wish I could try the program but I don’t by my own food or have a gym membership
I have had an ab belt for about 3 years now. I have to say it does work well BUT I mainly use it on my rest days from working out. As you mentioned it doesn’t help you lose weight or gain muscle in the ab area, but, I can attest that it is very effective in helping you tone the ab area. That is if it is used with a good workout regimen and a good diet.
The sticker electronic pulse device I did it religiously and once it broke i gained weight and jad a chronic back problem. Once you stop for a bit the muscles get really weak
I’m already pretty toned, on a relatively consistent healthy diet, and frequenting the gym for a healthy amount of time, yet I’ve been struggling for a while to make any dent in toning my six pack, would an electric ab trainer help me progress any faster?
Just watched this a few hours after ordering my ab stimulator����
Or perhaps something to boost my metabolism and a laxative( with Docter consultation) and the muscle stimulation to strengthen my abs and help burn fat within 3 months
Yes kidneys, liver detox the body but they can only do so much! You kind of failed also to recognize vegetables and fruits that help those organs get healthier which then would perform better and detox your body! U can have a fatty liver and vegetables would help it heal by start cutting the fats around the liver! Like beets, beets help to clean your blood, oxygenate it, and feed your liver!
Dang, I remember those tweets. Another wild layer to the story is that the photos she posted of ‘herself’ were stolen from a feeder fetish model.
who the heck believes what they see oh! the quick fact there is hidden sugar in food products
Are you tired of false promises for this six pack abs? Are you tire of products costing thousands of dollars but do nothing? I know I am and when I tried the gym I felt dead after a day. Well look no further the answer is here! If you call us in the next 10 minutes we’ll deducted $49.99 off of your six pack. That’s $49.99 off our offer just for you!!
For only 199.99 you can have six pack abs in just a few hours. But wait there’s more! Well put in some pain killers for an extra $19.99!!!
That’s a total cost $169.99
Now I bet you are wondering what I’m selling well look no further. I’m selling 1 buff tattoo artist. Yep that’s right 1 buff and tuff tattoo artist that will show up at your doorstep with a cattle prod and a proper tattoo kit. So if the running doesn’t slim you down at least the tattoo will help you!
I’m sorry, but the EMS is proven science. They use them in rehabilitation therapy centers, they are for muscle toning, and strengthening. And if an obese person is using them to lose weight, news flash: diet and exercise. I have been using electrodes to stop my hyperhidrosis, and it worked it is proven science.
Oops �� I actually bought the Chinese toe rings and of course it didn’t work. Way too uncomfortable ��
I’ll be honest, I got bummed out when you brought up detox drinks. The other products, I understand fully, but detox drinks? I thought those were at least a competent saving grace.:'(
I disagree, with the detoxing. Lemon in warm or room temperature water will aid in weight lose! Drink it all day long mixed with a gallon of water.
So, I’m lean.
The ab stimulator will work… right? I mean, I still work out and eat clean but will it accelerate my progress? I’m curious, can someone clarify please?
Thank you.
I bought the ab toner becuase im working out at the same time and dieting I know it dosent burn fat but, muscle in turn burns far and calories. This product does not give abs but does help tone your muscles. The detox method is also a amplifier to remove harmful toxins from your body. This does not replace the liver but makes you liver work less to maintain on your body. So in turn what you said is partialy true. Checkmate fitness video!
They just jesloud that Were doing it the easy way Unlike them who did the hard work theyre jealous they never
I have the muscle stimulators, do they help if you work out regularly? I’m a professional trainer myself, and it feels great after doing my upper workouts.
The EMS electro pads do work and lots of people say they have seen results. Like it is an additional step with working out not the whole workout. Just like eating correct food is part of working out. The whole use electricity to stimulate muscles has been around since the 90s. On the surface yeah its a gimmick toy. But if used enough and on routine there are results.
As for cellulite, yeah I agree there is no cream or what not for that. BUTTT there is a laser heat fat removal treatment you can get done that will work. I tried that myself and it does work by tricking the body into thinking these fat cells are dead. Then you urinate them out. I did see noticeable results around my stomach using it after a month.
I use tens unit while I’m not fat but it got me a 6 pack in a couple weeks but true you have to be not fat or over weight
Are the ab belts good if you exercise as well and already lean
Wow! Very unfortunate that this can happen, but thanks for the advise and information. Sending lots of love ❤️
The electric ab I got in supermarket for 20…. THEY DO work I sit on sofa used one daily.. In 2 weeks I had some fat losses and the mauled toned better… Feels like sit ups except I’m sitting watching TV. I do agree they are more for toning then belly fat loss.. But through supermarket one works perfect
I was going to buy fat burner cream but after watching this video I realize that We get body of our dream by Workout and diet ( by struggling ):-)
Finally a video about this! People in this world are so lazy and waste so much money ��
How about those treatments on spas or cosmetic clinics, like freezing the fat or using hot therapy? I tried once and I could see some results but I’m trying to keep a healthy diet so I’m not sure what actually worked.
I have no respect for this guy…he’s become a snake oil salesman! Shame on him!
I hope he was my dad so he can teach me to work out and get more abs
Watch my dad read this and send me out to orphanage
There is a new product out there…The burning fat oil.You just apply it to the area and then you light it up.You can use it while sleeping or watching tv etc.You are literaly on fire.I have tried it for 4 months.The results are amazing.
Scratch that, what i really want to ask is would the Six pack simulator help if you workout while wearing it
i know there is a lot of people that need help so i can say how i did it, i had a punching bag right in front of my bed or i got one and i weighed about 390 so i just punched it and of course people called me fat but i used it and now i weigh about 230 a big jump i just started air punching intel i started sweated a lot and i did that intel i got faster at punching so i tryed the bag and it hurt like hell lol but i kept on doing it and now i don’t need no gloves and my hands look like bare claus see people if you put your mind to it it will come true… and i did this my self but i was thinking about using this program just to get some more results tho.
I Igallop looked as though they were riding Male genitals lmao
clearly you cant spot them eather
toning belt thumb nail
(aka no where does it state its a weight loss product,or a muscle build product)
it states tone
meaning it tones what muscle you have into looking more firm and being more definded
fyi fatty diet here and ill vouch the tone belts work
So I heard my neighbors parents uncles nephews cousin used a cock ring that lost him 50 pounds and gave him stage 69 leukemia
Well no shit the ab belt shocker thing wont work for fat loss because it’s meant for toning people who already have slight abs.
Hey, the bodywraps are great product, what are you talking about bro… Just kidding, just wanna make you feel bad LOL
Nice video, it makes people break away from the illusion that there is shortcut to lose fat, you gotta work hard for it:D
I’m actually using the ems one now and I tell you what you use it 3 times a day for 12 minutes and you feel it after 2 days if your 300 pounds it won’t work for you just jiggle you with some shocking
EMS ab trainers do have a purpose but as in the same terms as cardio, it should be used as a tool in a good workout/diet regime… doesn’t matter the product, all of these markets have deep pockets and aimed towards a certain type.
from treadmills for the people who dont like leaving home to supplements that promise weight loss or massive gains. everyone knows by burning fat or gaining muscle you have to work for it so every tool that is used is useless on its own from EMS trainers to protein shakes.
i remember vibrating plates first came out and the results were beyond belief in my local area, girls were going from obese to fit and were adamant these were amazing products, what they failed to mention because they believed the plates were losing the weight was when you sign up you are weighed and macros took, then you are given a diet before stepping on a plate so in reality this company was making money from tricking people into believing the plates worked when in reality it was the diet and was no different from any weight loss club that was around at the time.
“let me tell you how much bullshit is out there… But then please buy what I’m selling because I swear I’m legit”. This was just a long sales ad and because of that J won’t subscribe and I won’t click any links.
Plz hep me i’m just 16+ I’ve got a Ems EMS Muscle Stimulation Trainer is that good for my boys is it give some side effect pr something???
This guy has no idea about acetic acid kidney stones or anyting nutritional based, he is just spouting off nonsense and sadly there’s a bunch of fat people that are going to believe this moron and hurt themselves
Wow that’s crazy people seriously need help so sorry this happened to you darling
I Don’t want to avoid work out infact i would really love to but there is no time and no space for me to be working out ������
Thank you for sharing for this��and it’s sad that people are like that, sorry that happend to you, etc!
Is it bad that i still want to buy the abb strengthner because i am not fat
The only ingredient in those detox shakes that work is the water.
Quick question about the muscle stimulation, could I combine them with my ab workout to get to my goal faster?
So, the electric ab simulator has never been proven to work or NOT work? What I’m concerned about is that even if you are toned and it helps your abs, what exactly is it doing to your organs? Can electric pulses harm your insides?
You have to do exercise with a belt and eat well it just helps a bit. It’s not like having a burger and then doing this is logical you should explain this other view as well.
when I was a kid they put me on steroids I gain 120 pounds in 2 year. I went to from being a xs to xxl
You’ve been a trainor for over ten years? I’ve been training under a year and I look waaay better than you
But dont muscle stimulater help ease and pains? Because that’s why I bought one solely for my neck and lower back.
Hey there,
I just feel like I really need to tell you something. You are absolutely loved beyond any human capacity. Jesus Christ loves YOU and wants to know you. I care about your eternity and He wants you to repent. A lot of people have been deceived by the devil to think that sin is no longer serious and that all we need is to believe in God but even the demons believe in Jesus but yet they’re not saved… It is written that a friend of the world is an enemy of God. ” Let God be true and every man a liar”, most preachers are not preaching the truth that sin leads to eternal torment in a very real place called hell. There are too many people deceived into thinking that once you’ve said a prayer, you’re saved even if you continue living the same sinful life. God hates sin and it’s never stopped being serious. Sin leads to hell and I’d never want you to be deceived thinking that your good works of being a ‘good person’ will save you. We need Jesus, without Him, our good works are as Filthy rags according to the Bible.
Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart and is waiting on you to open to Him and believe that He is the only begotten Son of God. God is not willing that any should perish but all come to repentance. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Him. May God bless you and may you seek Him and truly repent and sin no more to become true children of God. Have a beautiful day ☺️
the person that gave you a thumbs down is probably the girl smh
Would it be good if I used an ab belt thing while working out? I figured it’d just give the effects of the workout a bit of a boost
Finally, people are starting to see this fraud for what he is. He’s a self-glorified Oprah guest.
the problem is he helps a lot of people and makes a lot of money…this is the reason for the witch hunt…
I work out for 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I do weights one day and cardio the next and so on, but I try to reach a goal of 500 ab reps every day that I workout. I just bought the ab belt to help my performance and ab sculpting, did I waste my money?
I bought a shake weight when I was I in my 20’s (please don’t judge me or leave a snide reply) and I thought it was gonna help me build more muscle in less time, in one word I was delusional, to say the least.
Actually, a couple of the products that you mentioned may not work “as desired” by couch potatoes, but they do have an affect on results and time to reach them…
Body wraps increase the core body temperature which increases metabolism…this means aerobic exercise effectiveness is increased when using them…
The EMT pads, when used during strength training, is found to increase the effectiveness of the workout and decrease muscle pain like a TENZ unit would…
But neither works otherwise except for the EMT pads working as TENZ units…
I came across this ad on insta couple days ago. They are called the bfr bands which u strap around ur upper biceps. They claim that by using the band to stop/slow down your blood circulation, u can lift less weight for more results. Would like to hear your professional opinion on this one.
Y’know given how popular these things are, you’d think there was at least one fat burning gadget that works. It’d be a best selling global phenomenon.
Lol ofc you dont lose fat using the the device dor abs…But it does train your muscles.
