Question by ♥TheBeatlesAreEternal♥: i love lucy?
okay so i was watchin i love lucy the other night and lucy wanted to be on fred’s show as a dancer and so she had to lose like 15 pounds so she could fit into a size 12(equal to a size 2 in today’s standards) and so she was sitting inside of something that she called a “human pressure cooker”. i think its something that makes you lose wieght. so my questionn is: is there actually a human pressure cooker in real life that you sit in and lose weight? or was that just something that was made up? i don’t think that it was though. and could someone tell me what its called today because i searched up “human pressure cooker” and didn’t find what i needed. thanks.
oops i accidentally said fred. i meant her husband ricky. sorry.

The FDA declaired that they are hazzordous to peoples health and made it so you can’t use them anymore, but it was only a quick fix. The principle of it is to drain all the water weight much like what fighters do before a weigh in. It just dehydrates the body and muscles making them shrink in size and you lose the weight fast. Anywhere from 10 to 12 lbs in a day, but it is dangerous and should only be done if you need a quick fix, or if you are a pro fighter and need to drop down to be in the right weight class.
It’s called a sauna, which is from Finland. It is healthy to use it but it has been proven that you don’t lose weight from it. You only lose water weight because of sweating.
