New Trend: Waist Trainers; the next worst thing in the industry.

When it comes to celebrities, people follow. If they wear certain clothing, eat a special diet, or endorse any product, people will buy.

Sometimes celebrities choose great companies and products, but most of the time, they are looking to make $$$ and will sacrifice whatever moral they have left in their souls to do so.

So here we go, it's time to bash on yet another ridiculous fad - The Waist Trainer.

If you don't know what a waist trainer is, its a device that resembles a corset from the early 15th century. The theory behind it, is your body will eventually mold into an hour glass figure, as the waist trainer promotes "shaping" and toning" effects to your body.

When you combine people like Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose and women on Instagram that post pictures like these

                                     

No wonder women would jump on this trend in a heart beat. Now lets look at the cause and effect with this contraption. 

I found this picture below to give you an idea what this promoting posture does to your insides. I am not sure who is responsible for the photo, but it gives a glimpse of what goes on when your body is strapped to this crazy device. 

I can't stand behind the intestines in this photo, but the rib cage and diaphragm I can. When you put yourself into this straight jacket your ribs go with it. Your ribs have slight movement in them; they move freely when you inhale and exhale, if your ribs are limited in motion, you wont be able to take a deep breathe in.

What happens when you can't breathe? You pass out....

There are numerous reviews and stories about this waist trainer where women have fractured/broken ribs because it was strapped on too tight; and passing out as they could not breathe efficiently

This whole idea of spot/fat reducing doesn't exist, but some how people believe it works. Sure squeezing the crap out of your love handles for 3 hours could make it appear smaller, but the next day you wake up, you are back to square one.

Why would you put yourself "in a such an uncomfortable position" (that was a Kim Kardashian quote BTW...) when 1. You should be comfortable with who you are, your flaws are what makes you perfect and 2. If you want your body to change, its dedicated hard work, there is no easy way out!
