Does wearing the plastic sweat gear really make a big difference in how fast you lose weight?

no, it causes you to lose more water and overheat. you aren't really losing fat. as soon as you replenish and rehydrate the water will be back in your system. This can be a dangerous way to drop weight for an event.

No. The weight loss is all water. Athletes use the technique to make weight for competitions. Permanent weight loss is best done by proper diet and exercise.
