With summer almost on our shores, women all over the weight are desperately trying to lose all the kilos they gained in winter.

While the logical way is to go to the gym and compliment with a healthy diet lifestyle, one woman has decided to take the shortcut and use a less conventional way.

Apparently this new method involves wrapping oneself in plastic and sleeping it out. According to the woman, the body will release toxins and burn fat faster than when one is on a treadmill.

The method has not been tested and approved and one nutritionist said its all nonsense and each year a ‘method to lose weight fast’ appears but it never works. “People need to understand there are no shortcuts to losing weight. You have to put the work”

Mzansi contacted the lady to find out if she did lose ant weight but she refused to reveal.
