The Illusion of Passive Exercise: Debunking the Fat-Shaker Machine for Weight Loss

January 13, 2024

The fat-shaker machine is a type of exercise that relies on external force to assist in completing the movement, without the individual exerting much effort. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, exercise is the best method for weight loss. However, many people who want to lose weight are deterred by the need for regular, consistent, and intense exercise. As a result, the so-called "lazy person's weight loss method" - the fat-shaker machine - was born.


【Principle Behind the Fat-Shaker Machine】

The infomercial for the fat-shaker machine claims that it uses a principle of balanced rotation and low-frequency vibration. By shaking the body in all directions - forward, backward, left, right, up, and down - it creates an upward vortex within the body, causing the fat to be continuously absorbed by the lymphatic glands and then eliminated through increased intestinal movement. Additionally, the continuous shaking of the fat can supposedly lead to fat burning, resulting in weight loss in just 10 minutes.

【Illusionary Deception】

Even without understanding exercise physiology, it is clear that the theory behind passive exercise weight loss is absurd. If fat could be successfully shaken off and removed from the body, then how could other organs and tissues, including blood and viscera, be spared?

However, passive exercise for weight loss is nothing more than an illusionary deception. In fact, there have already been cases of individuals who purchased fat-shaker machines but not only failed to achieve weight loss, but also experienced adverse effects on their internal organs.


【Effective and Scientific Weight Loss Methods】

Obesity is closely related to economic development. In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, obesity is prevalent. Now, with economic growth and improved living standards, the wave of obesity is also impacting Asia.

Reason 1: The increasing number of obese individuals is primarily due to an unhealthy dietary structure.

As the pace of life accelerates, a large amount of high-calorie junk food has replaced traditional diets in the form of fast food. The long-term consumption of such junk food leads to excessive nutrition intake, resulting in obesity. Moreover, these junk foods not only have high caloric content that easily leads to weight gain, but also contain various toxins from modern food industries, which can cause other diseases.

Countermeasure: The first step in addressing obesity is to change the unhealthy dietary structure.

Reduce the consumption of fast food and junk food, decrease meat consumption, and try a more scientific vegetarian diet. If possible, regularly consume detoxifying meals, such as the employee meals provided by Qingniao Fitness, which have already been changed to detoxifying meals. By doing these, not only can you ensure good health, but also reduce the occurrence of obesity.

Reason 2: The occurrence of obesity is also closely related to the modern lifestyle.

Urban life is increasingly stressful, and work pace is getting faster. Many people are in a suboptimal state of health. Furthermore, with the advancement of technology, various means of transportation have made people increasingly lack physical activity, which is also why products like the fat-shaker machine have become popular.

Unhealthy lifestyles such as nightlife have also contributed to the outbreak of various lifestyle diseases. In this situation, the occurrence of obesity is almost inevitable.
