Some people go on a diet. Others go to the gym. But in Japan a more novel way of losing weight is fast gaining popularity ââ¬â wearing fat burning underwear.
A growing number of Japanese men and women keen to lose weight are slipping into underwear which claims to burn hundreds of calories a week, simply by wearing them.
Perfect for exercise-shy food-lovers, the MXP Calorie Shaper Pants are made with non-elasticated material that the company claims can make muscles work extra hard while walking or climbing stairs.
The new underpants, from the Tokyo-based Goldwin company, claim that the average 10 stone man who walks 90 minutes a day while wearing them can lose 210 kilocalories weekly ââ¬â the equivalent of half a litre of beer.
Key to the technology implemented in the underwear ââ¬â which cost ã23.52 (Y2,940) and are currently only on sale in Japan ââ¬â is a resin which is printed on fabric to prevent it from stretching.
The extra muscle strength required to balance the tension in the resin during normal walking activities results in effortless loss weight, according to a spokesman for Goldwin.
