I have seen these "clinics" pop up in my town and I'm wondering if they even work. It's probably removing water weight, which is not trully losing the actual weight...but I was wondering if it's worth in a pinch if you need to get on those jeans or tighter shirts. I have also seen pretty good deals on sites like groupons, etc for 1 hour session.

That's exactly what it does, and I have no clue why anyone would pay for that. You can accomplish the same thing with some trash bags and duct tape.

Do you mean the things where you soak your feet in the gunk and it pulls "toxins" out of your body?????? I don't think those are legit.

No, I'm talking about basically wearing a plastic trash bag around your body to sweat out extra water weight. Still pretty pointless IMO as the only reason we ever used them was back in the football and wrestling days when we needed to make a weigh in.

By the way, I thought they were magnets you put on your feet to pull out the toxins? Those things always made me laugh.

Well, losing water weight does have some utility for some people, losing excess water CAN lower blood pressure. Water is attracted to both sodium and sugar molecules.....reduce the amount in your body and you will lose a lot of water.

And yeah, the magnets pull tons of toxins out of your body, and cash out of the wallet.
