Sounds extreme: A safer low cost approach to weight loss is to eat 6 small meals a day composed of fresh vegetables and high quality low fat proteins with colorful tart fruits. Avoid sugar, processed foods, and fruit juices. Lower your stress, get a good night sleep and move through the day. A fifteen to 20 minutes walk 4 times a day or dancing to music inside for the same amount of time . Have fun!

Yes!!: Not approved by government/ fda but many articles in medical literature show its efficacy in 75-80 of patients that are treated with it. Company hopes to seek government approval in next few years. Main issue now, is insurers won't pay for it unless fda approved!
