Day 12 -- forgot my Slim Belly!

Today was unremarkable in Slim Belly testing land except I forgot to tote it into work so I had to do the lunch walk without it. I felt like I was getting shortchanged on my exercise!

So I HAD to do a two-a-day to make up for it. I did a round of KenpoX (one of the P90X workouts) with my friend after work tonight.

Is it working?
I didn't measure my waist this morning but, honestly, my tummy and hips look a little smaller when I am in my clothes (and out of them but maybe that's TMI).  And I lost a bit of my weekend weight. At this point I am feeling really good about the system. I have seen changes in my waist and belly for the first time in years. Years!

How does it work?
I am not the most technical or scientific person around so bear with me as I give you a simple explanation. The idea is that we don't get as much circulation in our fat as we do in other parts of our body. The belt massages the area it's around, increasing blood flow to the area which, in turn, increases the body's ability to break down the fat and carry it away in the bloodstream. 

There is some evidence, according to what I've read, that massage alone helps your body break down and eliminate fat. Here's an article about that -- but there are plenty more. But the experts at Slim Belly System say the way to make it work is to wear it while you're doing cardio exercise.

More information
In some of my previous posts I've added a link to a news story about the system and the official Slim Belly page.You can also like them on Facebook here. And YouTube's got a video about it here and it helps if you speak German, which I don't. But you can see the European system that's been in use for years. And you can find some testimonials from some people who tested the system at a gym in Philadelphia here. There are more links to info, news and testimonials about the program on the Slim Belly Facebook page.
