I think we’re all accustomed to the medical procedure that’s used to feed a person who is seriously ill or unable to eat normally for other medical reasons. Well, the good news is that feeding tubes are not just for the sick anymore! Yes indeed, if you want to shed the pounds quickly and are able to find someone qualified to do it, a feeding tube can be routed down into your digestive tract through your nose. The tube is left in place at all times during the course of the diet and the dieter is limited to about 800 calories a day which is administered in liquid form. We’re guessing it is something that resembles the “slime” they dump on people’s heads on the Nickelodeon channel.
