Anyone Tried Wearing Slimming Leggings? ... that help "burn" calories as you walk?

So, I recently brought these slimming leggings from this HK seller on soompi.
Apparently, these leggings help you burn 625 kcl per hour just by walking.

Has anyone ever tried this? Of course you need to eat right and exercise, but maybe wearing these leggings help?

Thanks for any replies, and apologies if a topic like this has already been opened.

That is a good question. I was thinking about purchasing them, but I had second thoughts because I wanted to know if they really work or not too. @___@

If you had the motivation to walk for an hour regardless, why would you be looking for gimmicks?

My gut reaction is that that number is severely exaggerated - like it's for a really heavy person walking really fast. I don't think an average person walking around on a daily basis will see much effect.

I know that wearing the leggings alone wouldn't help you lose a lot of weight, I'm asking people if they've ever tried it and helped with weight loss.

The ones I brought were $17... I think it's pretty cheap if it does what it says.

do you have a picture of it? i never know such a thing existed.

my legs are full of muscles will it work still?

but to your question, i'm not entirely sure. gimmicks like these are often exaggerated and don't really work like they say it does.

625 kcal per hour just WALKING? That's a lot. O_o I'm extremely skeptical. I really don't think it works.

Yeah, I know. But the advertising seems to be EXTREMELY truthful... plus, it's made in Hong Kong (I think) with like this special material. Another soompier said that she tried it and she almost lost one inch off her waist in a week... plus, the seller is whitelisted a lot, so I'd doubt she lie.

i think it works because they make the material super super tight

then you can hardly breather and to walk you must exert twice as much effort because all ur muscles are squezzed into tiny bits

then as you stagger and huff and puff eventually you will lost weight

canyou post a pic?

i have some. i got mine from japan.

its definately not as effective as i thought it would be. for many ppl that have used it and commented on it (on some taiwanese site i went on) said that it did not work for them
AT ALL.

personally im not sure... mine did get a bit slimmer (i think... hopefully its not just mental satisfaction to myself...) BUT i also regularly do the FAMOUS raising-your-legs-90 degree thingy too... so im not sure which of the two is the one that works.. or if both...

Those leggings don't help burn calories at all; they just squish the fat into other parts of the body, just like Play-Dough.

The advertising company wouldn't be doing a good job if it seemed extremely untruthful. mellow.gif

hmm...
i got a pair.. from taiwan..

and it did make my leg and thighs skinnier.... visual effect first... instantly slimmer, but i have worn it as much as i can and have found it is quite good... my legs definitely went slimmer, (more gap between my thighs!!! but my calf.. it is a bit big at the calf.. so there is nothing to squish the fat.... ), but maybe it is from my diet as well... not eating much fat and carbs these days....

so i dunno.... maybe i should try not wearing it and continue my diet and see if it works.. but i am wearing it... and maybe it just doesn't make me hungry and fuller easier.. coz mine is tight at the stomach area as well lol

which seller of soompi selling it cux i want a pair. I walk and stand a lot @ my work, may be this tight material could help me with the circulation and prevent yucky veins popping up on my leg, like compression socks biggrin.gif . The compression socks are only up to calves and the regular stockings are too soft and thin.
I will love you 'til Louis Vuiton go ON SALE
