A member asked:
Will running a mile or more in a plastic suit once or twice a week help me lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: Running a mile or more, once or twice a week, will help a person burn calories and lose weight as long as she doesn't eat or drink any calories back right after running. The type of clothing doesn't matter, but wearing a plastic suit on a warm day can overheat her body. Lose the suit.
