    You guys are disappointing.
    I gave an FDA approved example and didn't get a peep on it - Coolsculpting.

    What I'd really like to see is a before/after where they only treated one side of the belly, so I could discount normal weightloss.

    I'd also like to read of someone trying this with popsicles from their fridge, forgoing the exorbitant fees.

    The effect is not terribly pronounced, but it does work. You can accomplish the same thing through regular ice baths (skin temperature needs to be cooled to approximately 50 degrees F). The cool (har har) thing is that this actually produces apoptosis of white adipose tissue (i.e. kills fat, doesn't just "shrink" it). Anecdotally, I was able to get abdominal fat down to ~8%, with overall body fat of 11%, so the effect can be significant with time.

    I'm starting to wonder if that has something to do with how I carry my weight. From 16-21, I was outside A LOT with less than adequate cold weather gear. Almost all of my visible fat is in my face/neck or visceral.
