Its Amazing to see what people around the world do to lose their weights. Its truly insane to see people that can go that limit to lose their weight.
Stomach Stapling
People will go to insane lengths to lose extra weight, including these really extreme methods. Some of them don't even work and many of them are downright dangerous!
Rather than put in the work and diet and exercise, many extremely overweight people will opt to get stomach surgery done. One of these methods is called stomach stapling which involves excising much of the stomach away and only leaving a tiny pouch that can hold about an ounce or so of food. It basically forces you to only eat small meals so you have to lose weight. The surgery is very dangerous however and many people get infections afterward.
Urine Injections
Some people are so tired of being fat that they were willing to be injected with urine: other people's urine. Pregnant women's urine to be specific. And it worked! One woman lost 43 pounds in 5 months via this method. The trick is that the urine contains a hormone, hCG, that makes your metabolism speed up.
Running From Paintballs
Are you overweight but have a hard time motivating yourself to exercise? A paintball company in the UK started a program for people just like you! You pay just 199 pounds for a 10 week class. For that money you run an assault course and employees will shoot paintballs at you to make sure you keep on moving! They ensure you will burn 800-1000 calories per workout.
Nasogastric Drip Tube
A doctor in Florida actually came up with this extreme weight loss method. It involves inserting a tube into your nose and down into your stomach. A liquid solution of fat, protein and water adding up to 800 calories a day drips constantly. It works by inducing ketoacidosis, a process which burns fat. You aren't allowed to eat anything else for the duration of the diet. The doctor who created the method claims that you can burn up to 20 pounds of fat in 10 days.
Imaginary Gastric Band
Why go to extreme weight loss methods when you can just trick your body into thinking you did? It worked for Marion Corns! Just look at her results! She paid a therapist to hypnotize her into believing that she had been given the gastric band surgery. After five sessions, she claimed her stomach felt like it was smaller and she was full after eating smaller amounts of food. She immediately began losing about 3 pounds a week.
Painful Tongue Patch
Do you compulsively overeat no matter what you do? Dr. Nikolas Chugay has come up with the weight loss method for you! He sews a polyethylene mesh patch onto his patients tongues so that it is painful to eat solid foods, forcing them to only be able to eat a liquid diet. Over 60 people have had the patch sewn onto their tongues and they have lost an average of 20 pounds each in the month he leaves it on.
Spend a Week at High Altitude
If you want to lose weight while eating all the food you want and not exercising, all you have to do is move to an extreme elevation. A study was done on 20 overweight men who spent a week at an altitude of 8,700 feet. They were told to eat whatever they wanted and not to exercise more than a leisurely stroll. They lost an average of 3 pounds that week and kept an average of 2 pounds off for a month after returning home to normal elevations. Unfortunately further studies showed that the benefits wear off after living at high altitudes for 6 months so simply moving to the mountains won't help long term, but a visit every once in a while might!
