Does ems (electrical muscle stimulation) help you burn fat or just tone your abbs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither really: Ems has been around a long time and if really helpful would have supplanted real exercise by now. Toss it to the side, eat better, and get some exercise. Keep it around for bell's palsy or swallowing problems from a stroke i suppose but any significant results are likely not due to having that strapped on.
