LOS ANGELES (WTVD) -- Weight loss trends tend to go in cycles, but corseting is back in fashion.
Women have started wearing a corset-like device under medical supervision to help reshape their waist.
Doctors say you might eat less because it is tight, and it is also sweaty business because you can lose water weight.
The corset is worn about four hours daily to start and on the first set of hooks. Over time, it can be made tighter.
Experts warn this style of slimming could weaken muscles or cause digestive problems.
