The advertising of Xtreme Power Belt , the new abdominal belt that I have often seen on TV, prompted me to look for more information about this product, which in the description they make in the advertisement made me suspect that it was not a really useful help for those who wants to reduce the belly, but as always I’ll let you judge! First of all, what are we talking about? We are talking about an abdominal belt, “Xtreme Power Belt”, which secured around the waist tends to tighten it with a compression action , in the wake of other similar products that appear as real containment bands or bustiers. There is a recent boom in bustiers: the fashion of the bustier, which began with starlets of the caliber of Kim Kardashian, like many women who have problems with a protruding or relaxed belly, and who with a corset, however uncomfortable, since it squeezes you mercilessly, can feel sexier, almost Victorian ladies.

Obviously, the question of compression is not only aesthetic, but also effective: in fact, if you compress the waistline, and you do it every day, this obviously tends to shrink, so it is true that the cm is reduced . Too bad it is very dangerous, because compressing the belly means suffocating the spine, internal organs and visceral fat in a smaller space, which suddenly find themselves in a comfortable room all crowded into a closet. Thinking that this is healthy is beyond all logic. The fashion of corsets, not surprisingly, was one of the most dangerous fashions that women have followed in the past, not to mention what can happen to the spine.

Now, in the case of Xtreme Power Belt we are not talking about such a tight corset , but about something that contains and compresses to a lesser extent, and in greater safety, also supporting the back: on this thing of compression, the product deserves. an orange traffic light. Several users on Amazon complain that the lower back is more supported than the abdominal one, which is not completely contained by the belt. So if you have a downward protruding belly, Xtreme Power Belt is definitely not for you. If, on the other hand, you have a wide waist, the compressing effect of this belt can probably reduce your waist size. The effect, alas, disappears. If you always keep the belt on, that is, if you continue to use it, then there is no problem. But as soon as you stop using it, what was stored in the closet will come back out. It is the problem of compression as an aesthetic intervention: it only works momentarily. Those fewer cm are not effective, the fat mass has remained unchanged, and so are the tissues. They are just more compressed.
