I was recently asked for advice on waist training and dieting to reduce waist size, I thought the response might benefit a number of readers who feel they’re a little on the large size for a corset:
Hi, you can corset train at any size and while it won’t cause you to lose weight directly it will restrict your food intake by putting pressure on your stomach. This means you’ll feel full much sooner, allowing you to eat what you want but in smaller portions – like a gastric band but without the surgery and a lot more glamorous! Putting on a corset will automatically streamline your shape removing the rounded tummy too. You can train your waist at any size but excess body fat will slow down the process.
I suggest using a corset along with some light exercising every morning, nothing that involves joining the gym or even leaving the house. I’d recommend a ‘step’ machine, they take up virtually no space and mean you don’t have to leave your bedroom. I have one with a handle in my room but that takes up a bit more space; putting it near a wall, table or chair so you can place a hand out to steady yourself if need be, works well. Getting a skipping rope is a lower cost option but only if you have a decent sports bra already! The trick is not to make a big thing out of exercising, if you feel it’s a big change you’re more likely to give it up, that’s why joining the gym so often doesn’t work; it’s a big change and we’re creatures of habit. Just pop it out in the morning when you wake up (before eating or drinking as a night’s empty stomach means your body will break down your fat reserves to fuel the exercise) and just do 5 minutes before you shower, put your corset on and get ready for work etc – I send text messages while I’m on mine or watch TV.
After a week, move up to 10 minutes, then 15 the next week then 20 the next and stay at 20 minutes. 20 minutes’ light sweat is enough to seriously break down fat and will speed up your metabolism. A higher metabolism means you’ll burn more calories just going about your day-to-day life and the corset will lessen your food intake. Again just don’t make any big changes to your normal routine, no calorie counting or cutting out foods, just eat till comfortably full and don’t force yourself to finish something.
I can give you more advice on corset training, or you could find somewhere near you so you can browse and get a feel for them; you’ll need a good quality underbust with a cotton coutil lining to wear either under or over your normal clothes, depending on your fashion tastes and always wear a cotton vest under the corset to stop sweat from your body making it dirty.
Let me know if this was useful, feel free to ask me more questions, Scarlett x

and should i be wearin a tank under it daily?
Thanks alot!
Don’t exercise in your corset! Take it off for exercise, put it back on after you finish/shower. Yes wear something cotton under your corset or wear it over your normal clothes – depending on whether its an outerwear corset or not obviously 🙂
How-do-you-do, just needed you to know I have added your site to my Google bookmarks – gonna get me a corset, this is a fab way of loosing weight!
This is brill advice, thanks
Hi, Great post, thank you, i like your theme also! Good sexy for corset training
Youre so cool! I dont think Ive read anything like this before. So good to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. Thanks for starting this up. This blog is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. Good job for bringing something new to the internet!
This was very helpful information. I have yet to purchase another corset(I have no money) and I think I can adapt this information to my own weight loss chalenges.
Terrific post. Thanks.
I HAVE GIVEN BIRTH AND NOW MY WAIST IS BIG. CAN THE CORSET HELP ME REDUCE IT?
TINA It definitely can, the sooner after birth you start the better! I only wish I’d started sooner after my little one – otherwise everything spaces out and waist size settles at a point larger than before pregnancy, a corset belt or underbust are a good choice – obviously an overbust while breast feeding is a bad idea 🙂
I’m a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me with corsets. Thank you
This article was recommended to me by a friend. I have to say, glancing at this was of value. I will tell more friends about it as well.
I am wanting to begin corset training. How do I find someone in my area that is properly educated and has accurate information and make sure I get one that will fit correctly for what I am wanting to do. I would also like information on how to make a corset.
Hey I was wondering, if you go to the gym already, I’m guessing you shouldn’t wear a corset there. What if you work out for an hour or two a day? I guess you take the corset off for that and shower and put it back on?
Oh, and can you wear the corset outside of your clothing as well as on the inside?
Yep, inside outside, as long as it fits properly. Your sposed to wear an undergarment anyway – a chemise or a seamless tube top. Otherwise your perspiration gets into the corset fabric.
I don’t go to the gym personally, but when I exercise – as should all tightlacers, I take my corset off, same goes for showering etc. If you exercise for that long you can wear a waist corset or training belt, just to keep your internals in shape.
This is very interesting. I think I might give it a try.
Right on !! Damn Im getting hooked on your blog 🙂
I have been to your port before. The more I read, the more I keep coming back! 😉 (and I love diets, I’ve tried them all, the corset diet sounds so girly, will so try it)
remarkable stuff thanx Such a usefule blog…wow !?!!!!
