Exercising up a storm and dieting like mad not<br />

your favourite ways of getting that dream bod?<br />

Join the club. Yes, some say that nothing beats good<br />

old cutting down on carbs and hitting the dreadmill, but<br />

that’s not going to stop us from looking for the perfect<br />

weight loss shortcut. Here are a few that require zero<br />

effort — all you have to do is lie there. Fab.<br />

The one that busts cellulite while<br />

lulling you to sleep.<br />

High Care Intermittent Compression<br />

Therapy (ICT) from Shou Slimming<br />

WHAT IT DOES: This 30-minute treatment uses<br />

compression in intervals to mimic air flow and massage<br />

strokes to help with lymphatic drainage and water<br />

retention, and reduces the appearance of cellulite.<br />

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE: A therapist will wrap your problem<br />

areas — mine was stomach and thighs — in an<br />

DAYS<br />

air-pressure suit. For the next half hour, the suit<br />

inflates and deflates in relaxing rhythmic movements,<br />

which improves blood circulation and speeds up<br />

detoxification. It all feels like a really relaxing massage,<br />

and I’m lulled into a deep sleep barely 10 minutes into<br />

the session.
