Zapping the brain with "random noise" could starve cravings and stop emotional eating. It’s important to point out that it is electrical signals and not just noise. Don’t just play a zoo format breakfast show in your ears in the hope of it making you slim.
So, yeah, electric shocking your brain helps you lose weight. I have seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and I believe you.
The study found that using electrical brain stimulation for 20 minutes per day just six times reduced appetite, willingness to eat, and hunger for two weeks.
Two weeks? So all we know if that it works for a fortnight. That won’t help you get beach ready. But I always say, everyone is beach ready if you stop caring about the other people on the beach.
For all we know, taking part in a trial can change your eating habits for two weeks. I’ve had milk in the fridge for longer than that and at the end of that time the milk would also help you stop feeling hungry.
The therapy, called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), works through simple skull caps and has already been found to lessen depression.
You might look slimmer and fitter but that skull cap might put you off. Just as all our devices have gone wireless we find a need to plug ourselves in.
But do it. Why not? At least you won’t go on and on about your diet to people who don’t care.
