Compresses and deforms your organs

Wearing such a corset for long hours is not only unhealthy and uncomfortable but it may also be a major cause of deforming your organs. Such diets are like quick fixes but mostly don t work. In fact, wearing a corset for long periods can restrict your breathing,’ says Deanne Panday, fitness expert.

Disables you from consuming healthy foods

Pooja Makhija, nutritionist and clinical dietitian, explains why this concept of weight loss is a big no-no, A corset won t affect the size of your stomach, it can only help to contract the epidermis layer. The only way it can work is by being really uncomfortable to wear, thereby not allowing the person to enjoy their food. It might also reduce blood circulation to the lower limbs resulting in cramps or numbness. Read more on Corset diet: Weight loss without exercising or dieting?

The Hundred Exercise
