Will Slender Toning Belt Be Effective To Tone Up The Belly Fat?
Hi my mum just recently bought a slender tone belt . She has quite a big stomach although otherwise she doesn t seem too over weight. (Sometimes mistaken as pregnant). However after using the slender tone for a few days she has noticed her stomach seems bigger and a lot firmer. She is quite upset and doesn t really know why this has happened. Is there a physiological reason for this? Or is there an underlying problem?
