A member asked:

What are these belts they say in ads that you put them on ur waist and u will sweat and u will loose lot of weight? is it real? i think its a fraud

Fraud: exercise will make you sweat and will cause weight loss from adipose tissue (or fat), and will have the added benefit of making you more fit. A healthy diet also helps by preventing an overweight problem from becoming worse
