Why Don't Pressure Training Diets Help You Lose Weight?
Pressure training, which became a boom a while ago, has left many women reporting:
I got no results at all from pressure training...
I actually gained weight compared to before...
I feel like I gained muscle in my thighs and arms, but overall I became bulkier and didn't lose weight...
Why do such phenomena occur?
The answer is very simple.
Pressure training fundamentally lacks the body functional elements necessary for dieting and body shaping.
The fundamental principle of dieting is to prioritize increasing basal metabolism, which accounts for 70% of the body's energy expenditure.
To increase basal metabolism, you must increase muscle mass. If you increase basal metabolism, muscles will automatically burn fat even when you're sitting still.
That's why increasing muscle mass is necessary for weight loss.
Now, let's examine pressure training 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.
Unfortunately, strength training in pressure training only has the "chemical element." This means that even with strength training, muscle mass doesn't increase enough to raise basal metabolic rate. When basal metabolic rate doesn't increase, dieting becomes very inefficient and it's no exaggeration to say that dieting cannot be achieved, as shown in the basic diet principles below. This is because muscle is the only organ in the body that burns fat. If you have more muscle, fat burns vigorously even when sitting still. Conversely, with little muscle, fat won't burn no matter how long you move.
Unfortunately, contrary to public perception, pressure training is just one training method among many. It's not the universal training that solves everything just by doing pressure training. In other words, pressure training alone cannot achieve body shaping and dieting.
To change perspective, pressure training certified trainers are like hairstylists who got color certification so they can do coloring, but can't do cutting or perming at all. Normally, shouldn't hairstylists who can do coloring, cutting, perming, and everything be the standard? To truly make someone beautiful, shouldn't being proficient in everything be basic?
Moreover, with pressure training, only the areas where bands are wrapped and feel numb are effective, so muscle only increases in the bicep area below the shoulders and the thigh area below the hip joints. However, it should be added that the arms and thigh areas affected by pressure training have proven to have remarkable muscle-building effects.
By the way, aren't the thighs and arms the areas where women don't want to build muscle?
Do you do body shaping to make your arms and thighs bulky?
Even though building muscle helps you lose weight, for women, the location is important.
Wouldn't it be meaningless if clothes no longer suit you?
Furthermore, a common problem with pressure training is bruising from internal bleeding where bands are wrapped. As you know, in the top model world, modeling agencies commonly prohibit pressure training due to its limited effectiveness and bruising issues.
Pressure training may have wonderful aspects for building muscle mass only in arms and thighs, but women who want to lose weight beautifully and do body shaping in a balanced way should completely separate this from pressure training.

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!!
