Dylan Armajani: Run Past Your Goals and Find Yourself
'I Have 20 Times The Energy I Used To Have'
Would you get your ear stapled to lose weight?
Posted on Nov 6th 2007 9:15AM by Bethany SandersI've heard people joke that they need to have their jaw wired shut or their lips permanently glued together to stop themselves from overeating -- but having your ear stapled? That's a new one.
Ear stapling is procedure based (loosely or not, I can't quite tell) on acupuncture. A stainless steel staple is attached to the earlobe (ow) and left in place. Supposedly, it cuts down on hunger and sugar cravings, allowing people to eat less and feel satisfied.
Sound too good to be true? It probably is. Ear stapling infection rates are high -- 20% -- and finding an certified person to perform the procedure can be tricky. Why not just listen to your body instead? Eat lots of fruits and veggies and lean proteins, and get out and move a little each day. Sounds a whole lot easier than putting staples in your ears. What do you think?
