The Claim
In healthy adults undergoing 10 sessions of abdominal functional magnetic stimulation over three weeks, rectus abdominis muscle thickness increased by an average of 5.98 mm and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness decreased by an average of 4.35 mm, as measured by MRI, suggesting a potential non-invasive method for localized abdominal remodeling without significant weight loss.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A non-invasive technique using magnetic stimulation on the abdomen, applied over three weeks, was associated with an increase in abdominal muscle thickness and a decrease in underlying fat thickness in healthy adults, without major changes in overall body weight.

What the research says
1 studyThis study used a special magnetic device on people’s bellies 10 times over three weeks and found their stomach muscles got thicker and the fat on top got thinner—without them losing weight overall. So yes, it supports the claim.
