Do shaker plates help with weight loss?

My friend just bought a 'shaker plate' and is asking me to try it, claiming it helps with weight loss. Do shaker plates really help with weight loss, or is it just a marketing gimmick? I'm a bit skeptical.

Honestly, shaker plates look cool in reels but they don't do much for weight loss. I tried one at my college gym and it just made me feel dizzy lol. Better to stick to simple dancing or running if you want to burn calories.

I've been looking into the science behind these vibration platforms lately. From what I read, they can help improve bone density and muscle tone, but they aren't a magic fix for burning fat. You still need a proper diet plan for that.

Because of my thyroid, my metabolism is very slow and I am always looking for weight loss tricks. I asked my doctor about shaker plates, and she told me to focus on regular thyroid tests and medication instead of relying on gadgets. Proper hormone balance is what actually helps with weight.

Please be very careful before using these shaker plates, especially if you have joint issues, a weak back, or any implants. It is highly recommended to consult a physiotherapist or doctor first to ensure the intense vibrations won't cause any internal injury.

My cousins advised me to buy a shaker plate for weight loss, saying it worked wonders for them. However, when I asked my orthopedist, he advised against it due to my mild knee arthritis. It is always wiser to trust your doctor's word over popular trends.
