Shut Your Mouth For Weight Loss
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- I couldn’t believe it when I first saw this on Twitter, but researchers at the University of Otago and out of the UK have created an interlocking magnet device that attaches to your teeth and prevents you from opening your mouth more than 2mm, restricting you to a liquid diet. This theoretically helps you lose weight. It’s real, and I had to speak up.
Read their full statement here: www.otago.ac.n...

I would never...
YES
@Krunxz Bro you lying
Hi
@Krunxz I subbed and liked
:0
I was scared that Mike was endorsing this for a sec...
Sameee
He would never 😂😂😂😂😂
Me too
Girl me too. Had me a lil nervy there😖🖐
I thought he was losing his mind I was like what next is he gonna start prescribing essential oils to his patients 🤔😳😂😐😅🤣
Other issue with this “fix”: You could still drink soda and milkshakes with this dental lock. Just cuz it’s a liquid doesn’t make it healthy
Exactly. Those 2 are notorious for being liquid calories and crushed with sugar. Cutting soda outta my life had made me lose weight without even doing anything for a decent period of time.
PengwengUnicorn; That was a *big brain* moment 🧠
I didn't even think about sugary drink✨
I'd still try to eat chips with it and stuff
@@cassira1233 same.
and if you really wanted to you could put any food in a blender lol
"The design is very human"
the design :
"There are not adverse consequences with this device"
Honest as a career politician
Lol right? Milkshakes are liquid. I could liquify a GD pizza and drink it of i wanted. I dont see how liquid diets will trigger weight loss, as people with already bad eating habits are likely to still consume high calorie/ low nutrition foods.
Ah yes the all liquid sugar diet
I mean if you compare it to the other options out there like a balloon or a lap band he's not wrom
I did everything right and they dentalslimmed me
Oh yes that’s just irrefutable of course; the facts speak for themselves, truly
"There are not adverse consequences with this device"
Never seen such a big lie before
true
you again
Yo wassup man
I've seen you around TH-cam so many times
I'm scared...
It’s him again
Next big diet trend: surgically remove your esophagus, intestines and stomach. You will get immediate results, and you can watch your body fat slowly go to 0 within your last 3 weeks of life
OMG sign me up
They already do the stomach removal
i’m gonna be totally honest with you that sounds amazing
I think you can live without a stomach.. I watched a video and you can do it Atleast I think
Let's goo! (゜o゜;
this is literally the modern equivalent of that doctor who sewed a guys mouth shut for weight loss in the 10th century after losing his throne i think.

Lmao same
Lowkey wanna try it ngl
@@chaoticdetectivepeachconsidering extreme coloric restriction can cause hormone issues, you might well get both!
@@chaoticdetectivepeachI'm trans ftm
I had an ed
This makes me unusually happy
Imagine having your doctor ask: “Hey do you wanna have a magnetic tooth implant that locks your jaw from opening more than 2mm to prevent obesity although starvation diets have no real place in the medical field? Just sign right there!”
If you want, you can pay with a credit.
I would buy this just to break it and return it to the dumbass, I MEAN DOCTOR
I mean. One asked me if I’d considered starving myself two days a week. So….
2mm seems so small, can you even use a straw? i feel like you'll even have problems drinking porridge and the likes
My question is how would you get it removed?
This will totally help me lower the amount of soda I drink!!!
As a nurse, I can’t believe this is even an accepted treatment.
@@jenjones9304 just do one meal a day then fast at weekend just liquid you will see the weight loss
@@jenjones9304 you clearly have no self control thats the problem you need to focus on not this.
They must have a pretty loose definition of "accepted"! This is 100% absurd.
Oh my
Get down off that high horse ma'am, doctors slice people open and cut out portions of their digestive system to get the same effect.
Magnets on the teeth seem a bit less invasive.
In reality if people would just grow up they would realize they don't need any of these things because all these things do is make you eat less you can do that without any medical intervention... just back up off the hog trough.
They looked at a chastity belt and asked, “What if it’s oral?”
Great minds think alike.. 😂
At least the chastity belt can be pretty kinky.
Like a chastity belt for anorexia instead of preventing sex. Instead of abstinence, it’s for fasting. An alternative to eating could be paternal nutrients or a feeding tube.🧪💉
@@zimmygirl777 It also prevents oral sex though.
Oh god this is gonna be a fetish isn't it
“There are no adverse consequences with this device.”
Psychological adverse consequences still count, PAUL.
Um, you can't chew? And some of those smoothies are chunky.
Imagine your parents forcing you to get this
These are the type of guys who probably don't believe in mental health issues or eating disorders to be honest. They radiate that vibe to me.
@@ginnyjollykidd just think about it man
You can only open your mouth wide enough to fit a straw in, you can't even use regular cups either only with a straw because the water would just end up getting stuck because it cant go into your mouth fast enough.
You wouldnt be able to talk, like at all, they say you would but you need a full range of motion in your jaw in order to speak
It would be a literal hell
@@SimonWoodburyForget let's not forget that you won't be able to effectively brush your teeth
So glad you're not endorsing this! The thing that i immediately thought was well, they may be skinny, but their teeth are gonna fall out from cavities since they wont be brushing and flossing.
"Health is not solely dictated by your weight"
And there are still people out there calling Dr.Mike fatphobic?
But weight is _a_ factor, and that's what many people refuse to accept, calling a fatphobic anyone who points out weight isn't just aesthetics.
@@gigimava he’s not saying that it isn’t a factor, he’s saying that health is not ONLY BASED on weight. For example, someone could have fast metabolism and eat unhealthy food everyday but still stay skinny. This doesn’t mean they are healthy just cause they’re skinny.
Probly
@@gigimava it is a factor but after working for more than a decade with cardiac patients; I noticed it can contribute but the number of underweight or normal weight individuals who had bad diet and habits outweigh the number of obese people. I expected most of my patients will fall in the overweight category but I was wrong. In fact, it is all about what you put in your body. Some of these people eat good food just binge or large portions which shows in their blood work.
someone said something nuanced!!! More like he was pressured by the fat activists!!😠😠😠
You could still totally cheat with that device. An “all liquid diet” could include soda, and milkshakes. So no, it is definitely not even a guarantee of losing weight on the thing and huge risks of malnutrition.
I mean some of my favourite unhealthy snacks are milkshakes, icecream and pudding.
What about chips they are Small Not so tall and can fit in w this device on
I had my jaw wired shut for a month and a half after surgery and had to be on a liquid diet. I drank so many smoothies and things but lost 20 lbs, mostly because the pain of drinking the fluids made me not want to ingest much of anything but water.
@@luiscastillo4984 idk if you want to eat chips with this on bruh
Exactly. I was watching this and thinking, "Does the inventor not know that milkshakes exist?"
Chest compressions

“Sorry hun, I’ve got lock jaw tonight” she says through gritted teeth
😂😂😂
She’s talking via chat apps or pen and paper because she can’t even speak anymore with her jaw locked up…
😂
That's about the only good use for this device that I can think of. Might leave a lot of partners kinda bummed out though... LOL. 😉
"If you can't use her mouth
There's always the young girl scout"
I feel like a device like this would be more successful at encouraging someone to develop an eating disorder way before it would promote a healthy weight loss journey. You know it’s bad when Doctor Mike starts cursing.
As someone with an eating disorder this would be my dream. Not a good idea for anyone that doesn’t already have one but for me this would be perfect
@@cherrymelonlps i used to have 2 eating disorders, and honestly this isnt good for ANYONE, either if they have an ED or not.

Mmmmmph bulging neck muscles 😍❤️🔥
and he looks FOINE 😏🥰😩
And his short video.
careful, you’ll awake the horny people
I already know that once they remove it, the bad habits will slowly creep their way back into your life
Slowly? The moment this thing was removed, I’d be devouring whatever solid food was in reach just to remember what chewing felt like.
It wouldn’t be bad habits it would be the body’s response to starvation. Binging is a physiological response to starvation
@@Ajehyit would impede on chewing after its removed too because your jaw muscles would degenerate
Isnt there evidence that your stomach stretches less after limiting your diet for a while, which is why fat people get fatter because their stomach expects to stretch more and more?
@@YatagurusuYes, which means you would likely just end up making yourself sick on food 😅
Omg at the beginning when he was announcing the product I was like, “🧐 doctor Mike can NOT be endorsing this” lol I’m glad. As he said, “what in the bewoop is that”. They can’t be serious…
Omg same😂
Me tooooo
Yah my mood went from super mad in the beginning to rly glad in the end after hearing what he said
Honestly it’s not a bad idea, but also I don’t think it’s best for people battling ED’s I probably also only think it’s not a bad idea bc I struggle with Ed’s but it helps people lose weight so that’s good
Just like when he said essential oils helps with his cold and then he just shat on essential oils
This was once a thing where docs use to sew people's mouths shut as a weight loss thing and now we've looped back around to same method different technique.
Thank god I’m not the only one who thought this was completely insane lol
Ik
Me too

agree with you
@Sillvy and Heephis believe me, if there exists flat earthers, then there are irrational people who would support such researches.
that's a torture device 💀
There was a worse version that just full on clamped your mouth without mere magnets, and I heard of methods that use stitching.
Still a torture device, but it's like how lethal injection is to medieval execution machines.
@@RustedGreatBascinetif by medieval execution you mean hanging, that is indeed less brutal than lethal injection, we've just perfected the act of killing someone and making it LOOK nice to the observer
@@OrchidAlloy Oh, there was stuff much worse than hanging. I'll tell you that.
@@RustedGreatBascinetYeah, medieval/feudal executioners were very good at finding admittedly extremely creative ways to unalive people in the worst way possible. Of the ones I know, I'd say unaliving by rats, the Judas Cradle, and the saw were the worst IMO.
@@OrchidAlloyFrom what I remember Lethal injections can be very brutal too, they literally have to inject you so you dont move and then kill you.
However if it fails they will inject you over and over. This infact did happen to a disabled prisoner. Fully concious and in alot of pain.
I find it very difficult to believe that something like this wouldn’t effect your speech
Wouldn't affect *my* speech, but that's because I'm accustomed to enounciating clearly while making the most minimal movement I can get away with (learned it as a teen so I could sing quietly without people looking at me). So some folks could talk through it fine.
It's still a horrible device, though. What if someone got anaphylactic shock and needed emergency treatment? That thing would assist in blocking their rapidly-closing airway, and it'd be a whole fight to try to secure the person's airway. Absolutely not safe.
@@electrowave114 I didn’t think about that, and I guess that also goes for people who can do ventriloquism as well.

ironically, it's the fact that people often forget to count liquid calories that causes many weight loss attempts to fail!

what happens if you have to yawn-
I'll give you a guess.
Pain.
You can kinda stop your jaw with a hand so you don’t yawn so hard, but damn imagine a sneeze
@@Madeleine36 just yawn without opening ur mouuth
@@Madeleine36I had to deal with that when I had a dental appliance pushing my lower jaw forward. Couldn’t fully open or close the space between my jaws for months. Allergy season was physically painful and a sneeze dislodged one of the connectors around a molar. I was worried it was actually pulling the tooth out at first but thankfully the glue gave way before my jaw did.
So yeah, you’re probably right that sneezing would hurt like hell.
@@dynamiclion9907I would lose my mind. If my mouth doesn't end Just Right when I yawn, I keep yawning over and over until it's right
As a person battling an eating disorder and trying to recover. The fucked up part of me really, really wants this
Oof I can relate 😬 keep fighting! You’re worth it! ❤️
Right there with you friend. Stay strong.
@@primarymeme9929 that is really not an ok thing to say to someone battling an eating disorder ;-;
@@missdisaster4849 I assumed it was an eating disorder when it comes to overeating, now that I look at it I realize I misunderstood
@@primarymeme9929 I also thought that. What I was about to comment would have ended badly
You don’t build habits by taking things away, you build them by developing a strong mental fortitude to tell yourself to stop doing whatever you don’t want to do anymore even if it’s present
Yeeaaaahhhh...😒
That won't work with me. Not mature enough.
It's more positive renforcements with tasty low calories meals, and pray to my inner self not to grab too much junks at supermarkets.
I admire your mental strenght.
Besides, this is outright life-threatening. If your body needed to vomit, you would choke on that vomit instead.
That doesn't work if you have a serious food addiction and are morbidly obese. It's like expecting an acoholic to learn to drink little sips and stay sober. Sometimes you do need to cut something out of your life. Sugar is an addiction accepted by society.
@@miscellaneouscell It's different because food IS needed to live, unlike coffee or cigarettes.
That's not really what the research says. When you remove easy access to the thing that you "don't want anymore", it removes a ton of work from habit building. Think of a smoker who is put in a casino, with free cigarettes vs. a non-smoking restaurant. It's a lot less work to simply not have the thing present.
"Doctor, I'd like to lose weight..." "Ah yes, we have this brand new torture device to help you with it!"
@pogger jertis Probably would be even more expensive 😂 pay me to torture you type.
This scares me, like I'm gonna break teeth trying to yawn or something. This looks like a torture device
What if someone isn’t strong enough to open their mouth??
Ouchhh. And what about sneezing?!
@@Lea-is-sleeping and coughing... I mean sever coughs
it may just hurt, seems similar to orthodontic rubber bands but tighter
@@gunnersg2700 rubber bands are flexible. metal is well... Metal. With rubber bands you can open your mouth completely
Liquid calories can be one of the sneakiest types of calories. A milk shake or a smoothie can have up to 1000 calories and you wouldn't even feel full.
Was thinking this exactly.
@@hiurro if I'm drinking milk shakes all day I'm gaining more weight than I'll ever shed I'll just be hungry. Dumb "invention" over all.
That's true, when I was around 14 or 15 I use to drink a lot of these milkshakes called fortisips and I gained a tone of weight, going from around 154lbs(69kg) to around 231lbs(104kg).
I lost a lot of weight just with liquid. Of course, no milkshake, but mash potatoes, mixed frozen vegetables with yogurt, soup ( a lot of it), broils, an ice cream time to time.
And I never felt hungry.
@@crazyadam9281I'm not surprised. You would never know how much sugar or salt put in industrial food. Lot of salt and sugar. You could even find a lot of sugar in salted meal 🤷
Cooking from scratch allows you to know exactly what you're eating.
And to add, the appliance will likely alter the patients occlusion or damage teeth. Though they may seem like minor oral health complications, they could have large consequences.

I don’t know how much weight you would lose on a liquid diet. Milkshakes have a lot of sugar.

A lot
A lot. I have braces and at the beggining of the treatment I lost a lot of weight during the liquid diet but I didn't used use drink health things. :P
Could you not just turn everything into a smoothie? Get a meal from McDonalds, shove it into a blender and chug it down. It's liquid, tastes disgusting and still has all the same calories

Not long after my braces were removed, my jaw went into spasms and I could literally not open my mouth but a few mm (could not even get a spoon in my mouth). I tried putting all sorts of food in a blender, pizza was absolutely gross tasting after it was blenderized, reminded me of puke. After some therapy and a bite guard, the muscle in my jaw relaxed enough for normal eating.
@@lauriejohnson8512 I’m glad my mouth didn’t do this😢
Or literally milkshakes. They are liquid and have really high calories
My jaw was dislocated for a couple years (thanks marfan syndrome!) and toward the end before my repair I could only open my mouth about 5mm compared to the 25+mm the orthodontist wanted. I lost a ton of weight.
I uh, gained it all back once my surgery recovery was over.
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and literally feel your pain. My jaw has been out of the socket for years now. 😔💖
@@sarahcoletti6946 it sucks soooooo bad. The surgery was expensive (if you're American at least, dental and medical both kick it back and forth and refuse to cover it) but it was easy and so worth it. I hope you can get yours repaired soon.
@@leigha2814 thank you so much for the words of encouragement! My jaw actually popped/cracked so viciously today - the pain just tore through me. My Mom also has Ehlers Danlos, amongst many other health issues, and she's had her jaw rebuilt twice now. First when I was a young teen and it was horrific! They pretty much cut a headband shape, except with the incisions being in front of her ears, and had to peel her scalp apart to get to her jaw. She had staples going all across her head and the recovery time was forever. Mind you, I'm old, so that was like 25 years ago. Then she had it rebuilt again like 8 years ago and with the newer technology it was tiny incisions and home the same day with very minimal recovery time. Crazy the difference! Anywho, I've been putting mine off but it's getting to the point where I can't handle the pain anymore. 🦓💖
I think we can all agree the medical care system in place in America does help but it’s mad expensive
My jaw dislocated laughing at the beewoop
The fact that actual doctors think that a liquid diet can’t be harmful… and also the damage it could do to your teeth? What??????
"It allows free speech" Good I was concerned about the first amendment.
😂
But will the braces in the teeth allow the second amendment to enter?
Dental student here, side effects I would expect:
-ankylosis of TMJ
-atrophy of some masticatory muscles and hypertrophy of others (ie supra-and infrahyoid muscles)
-difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene with subsequent caries development
-galvanisation (depending on different metals used in previous fillings/crowns etc)
Dentist here:
- very unlikely
- absolutely, but probably not to a debilitating degree; depends on duration of use
- less than most types of orthodontics
- easily avoidable with case selection
+1: strong orthodontic forces leading to extrusion/movement of molars and associated PDL damage
wishing you all the best in your future career! You can do this :)
BelLancaster you wouldn’t be able to open your mouth, so back of teeth would be hard to clean, so yeah.
The atrophy of muscles however I agree
I just want to give Dr. Mike a hug. I 100% wish someone would have had this talk with me a few years ago.
The design is very human
"Can't get fat if you can't eat" is what they seem to be going for
Funny thing is I went to that uni a few years ago 😂
I've been on a liquid diet (Ensure nutrition drinks) for like 2½ years because my teeth are screwed right now and only get about 600-900 calories per day and I'm still struggling my ass off to actually lose the excess fat on my body. It doesn't work. It screws with your metabolism and makes your body believe you are starving so it holds onto fat in order to keep you from dying. This dental thing is f'ing ridiculous though!😂😂
@@MLisaKiserI can confirm. I was eating Frotimel drinks as a sole source of nutrition for about a year. At the beginning, I only drank 900 kcal. I was already very underweight when I started with liquid nutrition, yet it still took about three months till my body couldn't compensate anymore and I slowly started to lose weight. Starving your body will only make you lose weight slower.
"They had us in the first half, not gonna lie."
"Allows speech and oxygen"
I'm more worried about ripping my own teeth out if I'm being honest.
Yea same I was thinking what if you get hit or just try to open your mouth the wrong way XD like there goes a tooth
On a very different note, that no one seems to have mentioned before:
How do you clean your teeth with the lock in your mouth? I haven't seen a 2mm toothbrush by now... Just imagine, getting this lock installed to loose weight, and as side effect you are also loosing all your teeth!
Well you are technically losing weight if you lose your teeth 🤷♂️
Can't go back on solid food if you don't have any teeth to eat with
You don't need to clean when you're not eating anything
@@zS39SBT4fe5Zp8Q as someone who will sometimes go a day or so without eating, this is not true. Bacteria still gets in your mouth.

Nah hes always spoked against any kinds of starvation diets and this pretty bad. Getting a surgical procedure to basically force yourself to have anorexia

Same. My next thought: Is this really worse than having a stomach reduction surgery (if it's not medically indicated)? I guess yes, but only because you can't brush your teeth.
@@jhdix6731 Well maybe, Im not a doctor so I wouldn’t know the adverse effects of stomach reduction surgery but it doesn’t prevent you from eating it just helps you reduce the amount you eat by making you feel full faster so I could see if you have a problem with overeating stomach reduction could be beneficial but thats just my immediate thought without research. But strictly liquid diets have a higher risk of malnutrition which Mike has spoken about even with juice cleanses and other diets like that

--Bolt their mouth shut!
"BRILLIANT, --!"
Oh my gosh, Dr. Mike is the first person I’ve seen who had as big of a reaction to this as I did! It’s seriously insane!
"Health is not solely dictated by your weight" YES! I'm a bit overweight myself and I've had health issues completely dismissed because of it.
It took thirteen years and almost dying to a really bad episode for doctors to consider I was actually extremely alergic to dust, and that it wasn't just because I was fat that I was always short of breath.
It was truly astonishing how bad my quality of life was up to that point, and who would have guessed that being able to be active and have energy made me lose most of the extra weight I had on me.
Yeah, but on the other hand "when you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras". Generally speaking, a lot of the time people's symptoms really do stem from their weight, and if you haven't lost it to rule that out, doctors are less likely to think of other causes
@@aallfik11 I understand what you're saying, but in practice staying strictly to this mentality has hurt far too many people to just say it's ok until they lose the weight. In theory it makes sense but in practice it just doesn't work
@@aallfik11While I generally agree and I personally don't think it's ever healthy to be fat (not saying overweight bcus that implies BMI and BMI isn't perfect), I do think more doctors need to consider the zebras. My mother got obese BECAUSE of her rare thyroid cancer, not the other way around, yet it went undiagnosed for *20+ years* and ruined her life. Meanwhile here I am a healthy weight and my health issues that stole my adolescence from me and are now ruining my young adult life are being dismissed because I'm too young to have real health issues supposedly.
There's a point where you should consider the nearby zoo's got some zebras...

I think he actually did swear, and he edited that sound in to censor it
I don't think actually swore, this time. But Doctor Mike does not mind dropping the F-bomb on occasion. (He's done so in other videos and just edited out the sound, not the visuals.🤭
@@nikig1605 where?
For a second, I was scared you were gonna be in favor of this. But I loved what you had to say!! Especially that last part! Us fat people need love too, and we can live healthy lives just like everyone else! Let's focus on helping folks do that! 💜
You had me worried at first hahah. As someone who suffered with a severe eating disorder, I thank you for speaking about this
Man, weightloss is a beast… as a former obese person that had surgery all I can say is that the surgery just makes the real psychological treatment a little easier since you get faster results that gives you the positive feedback needed to change the habit. But its tough man.
Im happy for you
Congrats. It's my next consideration.
Anyone who thinks WLS does the work for the person is mistaken. It's merely a tool that psychologically reinforces healthier behaviors. I'm aware of people who gained back all of their weight, and there can be serious health consequences and outcomes. I don't discourage WLS! Congratulations on your hard work!!!
My dad helped me eat clean for 3 days, and I lost 5 pounds (probably water weight) That was enough to keep me going. Every day the number went down, even if it was by a tenth of a pound. I went from 195 to 165 in 3 months. And then I went to college... I'm having such a hard time losing it again!
@@cgcohen01 I'm not against drinking in the moral sense, but when it comes to drinking culture as it exists on many campuses, I would consider foregoing drinking. The alcohol itself is empty calories, and people are prone to eat more when disinhibited by its effects. I don't know what your options are when it comes to food. Are you eating in a campus cafeteria or preparing your own food? If possible, I would recommend the second, unless you are eating with friends and this would isolate you socially. Do you have clean options available? If not, practice portion control and eating things that are prepared as close to their natural state as possible. If weight loss is your goal, it's still possible. Congratulations on your hard work!
"Health is not solely dictated by your weight" - I want those eight words tattooed on my face.
Same here, but probably for me id do it on my arm or neck, i need my face to make ppl take me seriously when i verbally assault them for making fun of heavier folks 🫡‼️ /jokingly agressive
Dr. Mike is supportive of weight loss intervention, so his comment has some nuance
@@guerrita6878 Then it's a good thing my forehead now says "health is not solely dictated by your weight" and not "I ❤ Dr Mike".
The problem is, people will take this quote as an excuse for them to get fat, then pretend to be healthy
I hope he passes that on to all the doctors.
I was getting panic-y just hearing Dr Mike talk about it. Like I couldn't catch my breath. I'm glad Dr Mike keeps an eye out to debunk these ridiculous "health hacks"
There are many ways around this, such as melting down chocolate.

also you cant sneeze, yawn or cough, well cough severely
Also, should you ever vomit with it in, you just die!

That brings up another problem: how are you meant to clean the back of your teeth? There’s no toothbrush that is small enough to get through a 2mm gap🤣
I was shook in the first half, like bro they got to Dr Mike?? But he brought it back. We love you
In my opinion the best diet control is grocery store prices 😂😂
Unfortunately that doesn’t work for most people. I work in a grocery store. Many people complain about the prices, then still buy $150+ worth of junk food multiple times per week. If I had a dollar for every time I heard “I came to the store for only two things” while they have a full cart full of junk, I would no longer need to work there. People lack self control.
For real!!!
Except sugar and lard are cheap
@@MrFelbloodyou can buy enough chicken and rice for like a year for the same price as all the junk food people buy. It’s not a price issue it’s a self control and lacking the ability to deny instant gratification issue
just when I thought the world couldn't get any crazier 😂
Imagine in the future the historians finding it and realising how crazy we were 😭
This is not new people have had their mouths wired shut for weight loss before. It caused deaths from people vomiting and choking to death cause they couldn't open their mouth.
If an archeologist ever finds this, they'll probably think it was designed for torture or imprisonment of some sort rather than voluntary weight loss!
"Allows free speech"
Hey, how's the diet going?
*hwaehekwldbsowiwh*
Good!
You can actually kinda talk while your mouth is like that.
Goood! You’re looking slimmer and I can’t even hear if you’re reaching out for help!
Loool you made me laugh
I can imagine them fitting electromagnets to this thing so when they detect you're about to say non-state-sanctioned speech the electromagnets activate, forcing your mouth shut.
Wow, I did NOT expect this! The title lead me to believe it's about nose breathing!
Looks more like a torture device rather than a weight loss device 💀
I was really scared Dr Mike sold his soul there...
I’m kind of grateful for that last sentence because I got really worried when my doctor told me I was overweight (which I thought anyway even though I don’t look it).
Make sure to ask your doctor to give you a more detailed explanation of your current physical wellbeing and their advice.
Being heavy doesn't mean much on its own, but if your cholesterol is bad or your having trouble walking up the stairs, for example, it may be necessary to make ajustments to diet or lifestyle.
I think of body weight like internal temperature. Its one of many measurements you can take to get an overall idea of how someone's doing, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Some people do just run hot. For some, 99°F is just their normal internal temperature, but if a person who usally measures out a 98°F clocks 99.5°F, it's probably a good idea to investigate why.
@Zeynepman18 Well, I'm very nearly overweight according to my BMI. Only I have been training 6 or more hours a week for 10 years now and that weight is mostly muscle. Just "overweight" isn't enough information in most cases.
yeah, when i was twelve or thirteen i had a doctor tell me i was overweight and i needed to watch what i was eating and get more exercise and stuff. i was like five pounds above the average. didnt look overweight, and i had no health problems. being a kid going through puberty and already being concerned about my weight and super insecure, this kind of tipped my mental health over the edge. weight definitely is not your entire health, and im also wondering if it was some kind of expectation my docter had that all girls should be skinny and perfect or something
"Do you want to lose weight? Just sew your mouth shut"
I heard about the study on this while it was in progress. I am still shocked that an ethics board gave this the go ahead.
Really? Sick people are cash cows for big pharma and big medicine. Keep em fat n happy n sick. Caching.
What's unethical about it? As long as the participants can still consume sufficient food and nutrients, it's just a liquid diet restriction. I've worn orthodontic appliances that are worse than this (which also cause dietary restrictions)
As someone who struggles with weight loss, I want to take a frying pan, cover it in oil and snack there research papers with it.
I want to take the 2 palatial expanders that I've had in my life and jam them into their mouths to see if they feel my pain of not being able to eat anything period.
Thanks to them I have the worst gag reflex ever. Every time food reaches my soft pallete I get that feeling.
Not fun. Oh and the worst parts is when you haven't used the metal stick in the expander hole yet. (Which is very hard to find yourself)
I struggle with maintain a healthy weight for my height. I'm trying to recover the weight I've lost but my body still looks like a stick.
This is kinda like that medieval king who became too obese to even function as a monarch, so they physically sewed his mouth shut and fed him though a straw. I mean, it worked! But like many of the surgeries of this era, though they are wildly effective, there is probably a much more humane way to do them.

There was actually a king who was on the big side that wanted to lose weight forcefully.
So, his doctor had his mouth sewn so that only small food and liquid could enter.
And somehow, it worked.
But it's really screwed up.

I was worried there for a moment, Mike 😅 Thank you for being a professional that says there is more to your health than just weight. ❤
I've always been overweight, and it's the only thing I've heard constantly regardless of why I go in. Always ended with 'you can stand to lose some weight'
Now it's gone from that to why are you losing so much. You can eat ice cream....
I never got that in between perfect weight, I guess.
I mean, you're right about your weight not being directly correlated to health, I've always been slightly overweight if you go by my BMI, but I live a happy and healthy life
It IS correlated, it just isn't a perfect correlation (r=1.0). Weight is a well established health factor but it isn't the only one. Plus it's mostly correlational studies which means it's harder to say anything about causality as there might be lots of other factors involved.
So you can't infer health directly from weight as is probably what you meant. But it is incorrect to say it's not correlated because it is - it just means less than most people think.
Thank you for talking about this. As someone who's always had extra weight but no health issues, confirmed by several doctor visits, it pisses me off when people tell me I should lose weight just so I LOOK healthy. Honey I can carry two of my sisters (we're all adults) at the same time. I feel like people, especially parents like mine, are going to abuse this. This should not be okayed and it looks like an actual torture device.
ikr....while there are going to be other problems as well, like, how we gonna talk properly or even brush our teeth
"health is not solely dictated by your weight" spilled tho
Seriously, this thing is literally making me sick to my stomach. It sounds like the only reason someone would be inventing something like this is sadism.
You cannot seriously claim that this is anything less than contemptious and vile.
It's probably made by people who were never overweight themselves.
I hate humanity sometimes.
Especially as someone who was overweight
Researcher: Hey boss what invention do you want to do for weight loss?
Boss: Locking people’s mouths
Researcher: Wha- I mean- Okay...?
They say it's for weight loss, but how long until it's used to keep people from talking incessantly?
Lol they did this to a king of spain otherwise known as sancho the fat
