Anyone who has tried to lose weight knows that it's a challenge and, sometimes, a frustration. The thought may even cross your mind that you'd do anything to drop a few pounds.
But you'd have to be really nuts to try the newest diet gimmick: the Chugay tongue patch.
According to Dr. Chugay's Web site, "During a reversible procedure that takes less than an hour, the patient is fitted with a custom patch for the tongue which makes chewing of solid foods very difficult and painful, limiting the patient to a liquid diet."
Ouch.
A tiny, painful patch, sewn onto my tongue? No, thanks.
Of course, the surgery is probably effective since you CAN'T EVEN CHEW. Sure, maybe a liquid diet will help you drop weight fast, but that's because you're consuming hardly enough calories or nutrients. Sad, and definitely not healthy. And apparently, the few patients (or "victims," if you will.) that have tried it reported a weight loss between 15 and 30 pounds, waaaaaay more than what is deemed healthy.
The upside of this procedure is that it is, in theory, both completely horrifying and absolutely hilarious.
What's the craziest diet gimmick you've heard of?
