Best Answer

The idea of wearing a plastic bag on your body in order to lose weight more quickly whilst exercising is a complete myth. Because plastic does not breath like clothing fabrics, no air gets to your skin where it would normally evaporate any sweat and reduce your core body temperature. Wearing plastic limits this effect and so does not allow your body to cool down, causing you to sweat more and become dehydrated. As water is an essential part of the fat burning process, the less you have of it, the less fat you'll burn therfore you may lose partially more weight through sweating temporarily but any long term weight loss will be vastly reduced as you will not have burnt off as much fat

Most people wear a bra while they work out because it is more comfortable to have your breasts supported. If you are doing light exercise or have small breasts, you may be comfortable without the bra and that can be a healthy choice. Check in with your doctor if you aren't sure.
