Crazy celeb diet tricks: Ear stapling
Ear stapling
Stomach stapling or 'lap-band surgery' has been around for a while now. This is an operation undergone by very overweight people whereby the size of the stomach is drastically reduced so as to make eating large quantities of food very difficult. This usually results in dramatic weight loss.
'Ear stapling' is a current diet trend whose only similarity to stomach stapling is in the name. Ear stapling is done by medical practitioners who insert a staple into the cartilage of the ear on a pressure point which is supposed to affect and suppress appetite and cravings.
Does it work?
Results are VERY mixed. There are a number of reported ear infections from the insertion of the staple, and some people complain of the staple making their jaw sore, which makes them less inclined to eat.
However, actual weight loss seems pretty hit-and-miss and could be accounted for by the placebo effect.
