I : I really don't think that a belly binder does much, except give you some abdominal support. I doubt that it will cause you much trouble as long as you can breathe comfortably with it on. 50% of your breathing is with the use of your diaphragm (abdominal breathing). It may also may any heartburn worse after eating. If it makes you more comfortable and likely to exercise than i think you should try it. The thinner waist of your friend is more likely from working out 4 days a week for 3 months. That's probably the real key to her success. Best wishes.

Cardio Mix: If you have adipose tissue that you'd like to lose then consider an increase in cardio and a balanced diet. However, do not always do the same exercise or you will increase your risks for stress injuries. Mix things up with running, biking, swimming, or circuit training. Ultimately you need to burn more than you consume. Best of luck!
