Extreme Weight Loss: Get a Tongue Patch and Lose 50 Pounds

This new extreme weight loss method suggests that you can lose 25 to 30 pounds in just a month, and possibly 50 or more in just two months. But how far are you willing to go to meet your weight loss goals?

This Beverly Hills doctor boasts that all you need to do is sew a patch onto the surface of your tongue. And because the patch is so uncomfortable, it makes it hard to eat. Forcing tongue patch wearers to eat a liquid low-calorie diet. Dr. Nikolas Chugay's weight loss plans include liquid drink recipes, psychological treatments, and much more. The patch is the size of a postage stamp and is secured to the top of the tongue with just six stitches.

Patients recover immediately after the patch is removed and he says it cheaper, safer, and less invasive than the lap band. Watch the video below with the doctor's explanation of his services and more on the procedure.

Possible negative side effects include:

• Speech difficulties
• Trouble sleeping
• Swelling of the tongue

“At the start, you can’t even move your tongue for the pain. I’ve tried to eat solid food but it’s impossible,” says Yomaira, speaking from her family home in Charallave, an industrial conurbation on the outskirts of Caracas. “It’s a huge inconvenience, but I’m doing it to feel better about myself. I was very fat.” - From the Time article: The ‘Miracle’ Tongue Patch: Beauty-Conscious Venezuela’s New Extreme Diet

Possible positive effects:

• It teaches you discipline
• Teaches you to eat differently
• It costs $150 in Venezuela, a lot cheaper than weight loss surgery

Personal notes:
Alternatives to this may be to staple your own tongue instead of getting the patch sewn on (do not do this, it is just a joke). Or just force yourself to live on smoothies for a month (probably a better alternative to either of the aforementioned, but talk to your Dr first), and if you give in to temptation and find yourself going for solid food just take a hammer and hit yourself (also just a joke).  In 2013 Venezuela, this is the new weight loss fad and the preferred gift for a 15-year-old girl's birthday present. Hmmm...
