this thread needs more posts :]

i stopped doing it for like a few weeks and now i really regret it T________T
ima start doing it again today :]

gotta get ready for auditions xD


people that think this is a fad..
ever heard of a sauna? its almost the same concept.
of course you not gonna drop 10 lbs just by doing this..
we exercise and eat healthier when doing this

[ritzy!]

when we're done..i'm assuming you sweat..since a lot of ppl are you are saying that..
then can we take a shower again? LOL @_@;;

[wonderfullness]

It sounds like a hot tub. I'm not sure how, but I heard from a few people that sitting in hot tubs for more than 20 minutes is unhealthy. I wonder if it's the same with Ban Sin Yohk Diet?

[Gubuki]

I recently got back into doing ban sin yohk this month. So here's my review:

I recommend it to anyone who has bad skin. It helped improve my skin condition a little. It's probably because when your body sweats during the ban sin yohk, you also sweat out a bunch of toxins, or so my aunt says.. I lost a little weight after doing ban sin yohk, which is also probably due to A) burning calories and helps me to fall asleep better coz I'm so exhausted!

Remember to moisturize with lotion after you finish.

Also? After scrolling through various comments like "this is a fad", I feel the need to point out that ban sin yohk isn't meant for you to lose weight. I was able to lose weight but I diet and exercise too. Ban sin yohk is more for health benefits than weight loss.

where do you buy it? i really want to do it~

[jinhee]

^ buy what??? you do it in your bathtub....

[EmTeex]

Are you suppose to be sweating quite a lot?
its kinder weird how i started sweating wen i decided to put my arms in the tub as wel o__o

[rinhime]

^ buy what??? you do it in your bathtub....

well, you have to have the powder or pouch thing to promote more sweating and de-toxing.

I want to try this, but I feel weird if I start taking baths because everyone only showers >>; They would be wondering why I would want to take baths all of a sudden..

What kind of board does everyone use on top of their bath tub? Do you guys really just find a piece of wooden board?

[X u e]

I shall try this tonight without getting shouted at.

Then again, you still lose sweat when the water begins to turn cold? o-O
Weird...

Also, I don't quite like the idea of having my skin being all shrivelled up afterwards if I were to spend 40 mins in it o-o
I just hate having prune-y skin > < !

Max I would be able to cope in it is 20mins - 30mins.

[epikxbang]

okay, so i'm actually in my tub typing this, with my laptop propped on a chair, & what i can say is ...
I FEEL LIKE I'M DYINGGG~! i barely have any enery to type this hahaha x]
- this better work!

[happiisunshin]

*sighs* I really wish I can try this out but my bath tub is broken meaning the metal piece where it stops the water from draining is broken.

Noooooooooooooo!!

[chopstjcks]

this is soooo strange .__.
i think i have a high hot water tolerance xD
the water was sooooo hot
it felt hot to my hands at least
but when i got into the bathtub i didnt sweat at all ._____."
not one SINGLE drop of sweat
i even added some water of the water boiler before cause it didnt really seem hot to me


AISSH whats wrong with me xD

[kamilia]

I don't get what so many people have against exercising...

[LUX.]

Hm, isn't this just like a sauna? Losing only water weight and not fat? Wouldn't this dehydrate you such that you'd need to drink more water, and ultimately gain it back?

Any soompiers who've tried it, succeeded, and succeeded in keeping off the weight?

[Vivii]

this sounds interesting... gotta try it out ASAP

[MIS0HAPPY]

i tried this just to see how well it worked. i totally felt the sweat,
and got a bit exhausted after 15 minutes. my skin feels refreshed
and soft now though, which is a plus.

probably won't do this again due to me having to pay for water bills. :')

[yuki fiore]

my experience:

IT WORKS it definitely works.
i did it for 3 weeks in june before i visited minnesota.
i did it for 30 minutes everyday (minus weekends) in the morning after breakfast.
(i tried it before breakfast and i noticed i got more light headed)
i filled the tub before i got in. that was a pain.
i would start sweating right away. but anyways...
after the 3 weeks i was 8 lbs lighter.
but then again i also ate healthier too.
i ate 3 meals a day and drank a lot of ice water.
i cut out junk food. once in awhile i would slip and eat a cookie or something.
but yeah this is not a fad diet at all.
and it does really truly work. you just need to be consistent.

[termination_override]

This may be a dumb question, but do you take a *normal* bath/shower before or after doing it? because I'd be kinda weirded out by laying there for hours not completely clean.. Pls lmk ^^;;

[iyagi]

^alot of people take a quick shower after the bath to get rid of the sweat lol.


I did this for a while, and it's really good for you body (: relaxing, and the sweating makes you feel really good lol. Though if you're not hydrated enough, it might be uncomfortable. In my experience, I lost like a pound from it, but that was only because I didn't do it for an extended period of time.
