Maintaining a healthy weight is incredibly important to your body. Through out time new surgeries have emerged such as, gastric bypass, and lap-band. While these surgeries have the ability to limit your food intake and help you lose weight, they aren’t always a solution and can sometimes lead to other serious issues. The newest surgery on the market made me do a “double take!” To my surprise, my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me, this surgery is not a joke! Watch the video below and be horrified (WARNING!! If you have a weak stomach avoid the video)
The video is long so if you want to skip to the patch go to minute 2:00.
This patch which is sewn into the tongue makes it difficult and painful to consume food. The patch forces the patient to literally starve themselves. Despite warnings the surgery can cause nerve damage and complications swallowing. The patch costs roughly $1,500 dollars and another $250 per month for liquid vitamins.
Unlike other weight loss surgeries, this one can be easily reversed by removing the patch after the weight loss has been achieved. However, nerve damage could be a side affect that’s not worth risking.
While many will go to any extreme to shed weight, this version of dieting based on slow starvation and a forced liquid diet isn’t the solution! Gimmicks will always be gimmicks, you must find the source or your issues with food and make time for exercise.

If you haven’t watched this show already, then it’s time you start! Last season Jamie attempted to change the eating habits Huntington, WV. However, his efforts were met with mixed reviews. The local radio station bashed him for trying to change their ingrained way of life. This time around Oliver with be attempting to change the whole Los Angeles school system. His goal is to challenge the LA school district so students have healthier food options.
We went to LA for two reasons: one, I didn’t want to go back to the next unhealthiest town in America, ’cause I didn’t want it to be seen as a format; two, there’s enough good sh*t going on in California, genuinely, amongst a lot of bad stuff. From a blatantly strategic point of view, if we can make any form of change in California . . . if anything happens in law . . . anything we achieve there will go across the whole of America (source).
After watching the trailer, it’s obvious that no mater where you live food can be the enemy. I would have thought that sunny California would be more apt to change their food options then Huntington, WV. It’s seems that’s not the case at all. I’m sure this will be a VERY interesting season! It premiers tonight, at 8/7c on ABC.

When the Nintendo Wii first arrived on the scene the world took a sigh of relief assuming that this device would get their kids (and themselves) off the couch. However, as people lined up to buy this interactive gaming system they were soon let down by it’s slow processing speed and glitched games. Next came [...]
While watching a tv show I was amazed as I saw scientists grow completely NEW organs made from their own genetic code. I watched as they slowly nursed growing cells all the way through life as they eventually multiplied into full blown organs and appendages. “And you can see here the mold shaped like an [...]
Over time research has found that diet soda is not only toxic it’s also addictive. Research is now finding that diet soda is causing increased heart attacks and strokes which may be due to the amount of sodium. The study was preformed in LA with 2,500 people. Of those participants, the people who consumed diet [...]
Years ago several of my co workers were raving about this new muscle gain supplement. Soon they were all growing rapidly. However, I noticed that all of them began to become short tempered, mean and aggressive. Now, this harmless over the counter supplement has been taken off the shelves. I saw a clip on [...]
In a previous article we revealed who we thought was the male mystery trainer on The Biggest Loser. However, we hadn’t figured out who the female mystery trainer was. While surfing the web for a “2 time golden glove winner,” we found Cara Castranova. She seems to fit the silhouette shown in the picture and [...]
I had a feeling this was coming. However, I don’t blame her for leaving the show. The high stress of the show and having to deliver tremendous results on a consistent basis can be really taxing. Jillian Michaels, now 36, has decided that it’s time for her to move on and make a difference in the world [...]
