Why Don't Spa Diets Help You Lose Weight?
Some women may have had the bitter experience of attending spas but not losing weight at all.
Spa massage can make you lose weight by kneading muscles...
Spa massage can increase basal metabolism by improving lymphatic flow...
Spa pelvic massage can make you lose weight by improving pelvic condition...
To conclude first: physiologically, weight loss through spas is impossible.
Why Don't Spas Help You Lose Weight?
Spa massage diets, spa pelvic diets, spa leg slimming diets - physiologically, spa weight loss treatments have no scientific basis from the perspective of body mechanisms that enable dieting, fat reduction, or increased basal metabolism.
Please see the diagram below. To lose weight, you can only increase basal metabolic rate, increase activity level, or increase UCP/DIT on the right side of the equation.
It's easy to understand that the quickest approach to dieting is to increase basal metabolism, which accounts for 70% of the above.
To increase basal metabolism, you must increase muscle mass.
Let's examine spas from the perspective of "increasing muscle mass."
Muscle physiologically, increasing muscle requires the following two process conditions:
① Physical Process
Muscles have the property of adapting to gravitational environments. For example, just as astronauts return to Earth unsteady after space travel, muscles deteriorate in zero-gravity environments. Conversely, muscles have the property of increasing when subjected to loads that create gravitational environments exceeding Earth's 1G.
② Chemical Process
Growth hormone. Growth hormone is secreted due to low-oxygen conditions within muscles caused by muscle contraction and extension.
These two conditions are essential requirements for increasing muscle.
Now, do spas meet these conditions?
Unfortunately, they don't meet any of them. Muscle physiologically, it's impossible to increase muscle through spa massage or spa pelvic adjustment for weight loss purposes.
Let's consider one more aspect: "energy consumption (activity metabolic rate)."
The physical law states: "Object weight × movement distance = energy consumption." Since spa pelvic adjustment and spa massage involve no movement distance, there's absolutely no energy consumption and zero activity level.
In Japan, the spa industry developed rapidly from around the 1980s. It implanted the image of "spa = diet" in consumers' minds, responding to women's desire to lose weight and diet. Stories of "I didn't lose weight at all at spas," "only expensive loans remained," and "they pushed expensive supplements and beauty devices on me" became social problems several years ago. In fact, one major spa company went bankrupt because of this.
Sudden weight gain...
Not knowing how to diet, being unable to handle it alone...
Trying various diet and body shaping information but not losing weight at all...
The feeling of grasping at straws is completely understandable. However, there is no diet or body shaping that can be accomplished purely passively - doing absolutely nothing yourself while only receiving spa massage or pelvic treatments.
In America, "spa" means spa - that is, relaxation. In America, the advanced country in dieting, no women think about dieting at spas. The concept of dieting at spas doesn't exist anywhere except Japan. Don't you think this means that spas can't help with dieting?
Japanese spas often push expensive supplements or protein products when treatments don't work for weight loss. This is a method of temporarily losing weight by filling the stomach with protein or supplements as meal replacements.
When doing body shaping and dieting, wise judgment is necessary to avoid wasting your precious time and money.
Also, more spas are using pressure training and EMS with claims that they can increase muscle, but these pressure diets and EMS diets are far from proper weight loss methods. See here for details:

However, spas seem suitable for purposes other than diet and body shaping, such as beautiful skin, relaxation, and hair removal. Using spas according to your purpose is recommended.
Especially for women, it becomes quite difficult to lose weight beautifully without combining the following targeted area diet methods. Please be sure to check these as well.

Body Shaping Methods
Many women think they should do more lower body exercises to slim their lower body! Are you also focusing blindly on lower body exercises because you want to slim your lower body? However, if the form doesn't match your skeletal structure, your hips and thighs might actually get bigger with muscle development. This is the dilemma of lower body exercises - even though you're doing body shaping...
From the extensive model guidance experience of personal trainer Toshiaki Ozeki, who has the #1 track record in model body shaping, it has been discovered that top models have developed what are called "model muscles" - muscle areas that ordinary people don't have. If you develop model muscles, you can achieve a model skeleton and automatically get a model body type. With model muscles, you can achieve the same straight, linear model body lines as top models.
Does doing lots of abdominal exercises remove fat from the waist? If you think so, that's a big problem! To conclude, body shaping is not that simple. Conversely, belly fat can be removed and the waist can be slimmed without doing abdominal exercises. To change a body that's hard to lose weight, you need authentic women's body shaping that produces results.
Slender, straight, thin stick legs - so-called model legs - have become essential not just for models but for all women in today's fashion-forward world where showing legs is mainstream. While model leg body shaping tends to focus only on making legs thinner, the key point of model leg body shaping is creating the straight, linear appearance of the legs.
In model body type body shaping, we reduce overall fat, change the shape of areas of concern, adjust posture and skeletal silhouette to straight joint angles, and organize body type lines. We polish the model body type by developing the same model muscles as top models. Finally, we add model body functions to achieve perfect finishing - this is true model body type body shaping.
To slim and beautifully shape your calves, you first need to objectively determine the cause of your thick calves. Causes of thick calves include: ① fat accumulation causing thickness, ② muscle causing thickness, ③ a combination of both. For cases ② and ③, body shaping that reduces calf muscle is essential.
While "pelvis" has become a standard term in women's body shaping and women's diet training, there are endless consultations about pelvis body shaping: "I didn't lose weight in a feminine way," "I didn't get a slender model-like body type," "I didn't lose weight at all"... Aren't you fed up with body shaping that uses the plausible-sounding word "pelvis" to obscure what's really happening?
Women with good posture are beautiful and cool. Good posture alone makes you look slimmer. Everyone surely thinks so. Even if you work hard to lose weight and diet, if you don't have beautiful posture, you won't look slender and your body shaping efforts will be wasted, won't they? In authentic body shaping, we don't leave posture to conscious effort - beautiful posture is achieved through body shaping training that changes the underlying skeletal joint angles.
Have you experienced doing upper arm exercises to slim your upper arms but finding that your upper arms don't get thinner? Or dieting but your upper arms don't look thinner? You might hear that you should do lots of upper arm exercises because your upper arms are a concern, but you've probably already realized that doing only upper arm exercises has almost no effect on reducing upper arm fat or slimming them.
Do you really understand the body mechanisms for weight loss and the systems that enable dieting? Is not eating the best way to lose weight? Is exercise unnecessary for weight loss? Can you lose weight by going to diet gyms or women's exclusive body shaping gyms? Does cardio burn fat? Foods introduced on TV one after another and exercise books lining bookstore shelves... The honest truth is you don't know which ones are really effective!!
