The Claim
Functional magnetic stimulation applied to the abdomen over 10 sessions within three weeks is not associated with significant changes in body weight in healthy adults, suggesting that reductions in waist circumference and abdominal fat thickness observed during this intervention are not due to overall 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 abdominal stimulation technique used over three weeks did not cause people to lose weight, meaning any reduction in waist size or fat thickness was not caused by losing overall body weight.
See the scientific wording
Functional magnetic stimulation applied to the abdomen for 10 sessions over three weeks was not associated with significant changes in body weight in healthy adults, indicating that observed reductions in waist circumference and abdominal fat thickness are not attributable to overall weight loss.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that using a special magnetic device on the belly made waistlines smaller and fat thinner, but people didn’t lose weight overall — so the changes weren’t because they lost weight, just because their belly got firmer and leaner.
