    People do stupid things to lose weight. I prefer doing it right. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Or you know, you could just eat what you like in moderation and move more. People are so ridiculous, lazy and too rich.

    This is so crazy.

    Why would you inflict pain on yourself just to lose weight (that you will more than likely regain).

    There are some stupid fads in the world, this may top them all.

    They would've lost weight by sticking to a 800 calorie juice diet with or without that patch. Moronic.

    lol, the topic title made me think it would involve limb removal or something. :p
    It's not that weird, people get plastic bands clamped over their stomachs, if anything this is less invasive than that. Still, it's much better to change your eating habits and lifestyle than to just give up control for quick, uncomfortable (and likely short-lived) weight-loss.

    I find it ironic that the doctor from the Biggest Loser is pointing out studies that show how most extreme dieters who lose weight rapidly eventually gain it all back – and more.

    Wow for someone so motivated to lose weight im wondering why she isnt exercising and eating right. Not to mention the mentality these women are now in, i wonder if they will ever be comfortable eating normally again.

    Why? Yes its extreme weight loss on the biggest loser but the foundations of exercise and diet are also taught to these individuals so the chances of them gaining it all back with that knowledge is slim a few pounds maybe but all of it probably not. The tongue patch isnt something you learn and can stick too its a tool designed to give you results fast until you can eat again.

    There could always be those people who try and cheat by putting junk food in a blender too, if they needed their fix they're going to need their fix haha waste of money.

    yeah saw this on dateline a couple weeks ago also. If they wanted to lose 20lbs in a month for swimsuit season could of just done the 800 cals a day and saved 2 grand.

    There are many people with much more money than self control, so this method works for them. They are so weak willed that nothing short of instant punishment would work.

    Simple math.
    71 idiots x $2,000 a piece = $142,000
    Not a bad hustle..when they could do the 800 calorie thing for free.

    Losing weight is nice but getting fit is better and that takes time.:drinker:
