Looking to lose a few pounds? Are you into medieval torture? If so, this might be for you!
There’s a new weight loss product called DentalSlim that LOCKS your mouth SHUT using magnets. It goes on your top and bottom molars, and only lets you open your mouth 2 millimeters, forcing you to have a liquid diet. (WTF?)
It’s basically like having your jaw wired shut, which was actually a weight loss technique used in the ’70s and ’80s. Seems a bit extreme to me. Kind of reminds me of a chastity belt, except for your damn mouth.
If you are a barbarian that’s into torture, then this might be for you. Hey, we all have fetishes. I’m gonna do a hard pass, and just cut down on the Twizzlers if I want to drop a couple pounds.
Oh… 7 people actually volunteered to test it out. Apparently it works. They lost 14 pounds in 2 weeks. So a pound a day.
Otago and UK researchers have developed a world-first weight-loss device to help fight the global obesity epidemic: an intra-oral device that restricts a person to a liquid diet. Read more: https://t.co/eLhXwipiqs pic.twitter.com/Of6v3uvVbX
