The most barbaric weight loss treatment of the day goes to the "Chugay Tongue Patch," a postage stamp-sized piece of mesh that's surgically attached to your tongue to make eating painful.
The tongue patch, which is supposedly taking Southern California by storm—10 people have it--remains in your mouth for a month, a daily reminder that you shouldn't eat. During that time you can get all your nutrients through a liquid diet "full of vitamins and nutrients," according to the press release.
The tongue patch inventor is Dr. Nikolas Chugay, the medical director of the Chugay Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, where “genetics don't have to stand in your way."
He says that patients report losing 15 to 30 pounds in a single month. But would you expect anything else when you’re on a liquid diet? The weight, meanwhile, is sure to return the minute you start eating solid food again.

Whew! When I readthe title of your post I thought you were going to be an advocate for such a cop out weight loss scam. Ok, I got it out I feel better now :)
Seriously though... What a dumb idea for anybody to consider actually trying. This is the opposite of being healthy rather focusing on the superficial results of being thin.
Dumb. But thanks for reporting it!
