Is it true about stapling your ears can help in losing weight?

Question

A guy at my husbands work did that. He got it done by a dr and said its supposed to help lose weight and stop smoking. If its true, how does it work?

I'm not looking for me. I go to the gym regularly and am doing just fine. But when he did that it was so weird to me, i had to ask. Too painful looking for me. Its right in the center of the inside of his ears.

Answer 1

It is supposed to be like acupuncture and it works on some people. Maybe it is just the placebo (sugar pill) effect. Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note-- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Learn how to nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat.

Answer 2

Putting staples in your body seems like a last resort to loose weight. Why go through the pain when there is a easier and more obvious way to loose weight. Use the four finger diet. Put your index and thumbs together to form a circle. Anything in the circle is what you eat. Only one serving to a meal. Balanced meals will help.

Answer 3

thats funny=you should eat a balanced diet and not seek alternative ways to try and lose weight that in the end doesnt really help at all

Answer 4

...this doesn't seem very scientific! The only way to loose weight is: exercise, good nutrition, good eating habits, no junk food, no soda, or, even better: moderation. There are no miracles, just common sense.

Answer 5

Yes it is true. It stimulates the zone to the stomach to where you don't feel hungry. The stop smoking zone is usually on the arm.
