In his Weighty Matters blog of today, Dr. Yoni Freedhoff discusses the latest non-fat fad to enter the California mainstream – the Chugay tongue patch, sewn onto one’s tongue for 30 days to “make chewing of foods difficult and painful” and encourage a liquid diet.
Ouch. That’s a high price to pay (not to mention the high cost of such a cosmetic procedure!) for weight losss. What will they think of next?
The answer to that question is “Anything”! Yep, that’s right, if the public wants to lose weight in a quick and (relatively) painless manner, then someone out there will find a way to give the consumer what he/she wants. There are thousands of weight loss products out there that state they are a “healthy” and “fast” way to shed extra pounds. And they may lead to success in the short-term. But these quick fixes will never replace the weight loss results that behavior change and hard work will produce.
