Pakistani women have an amazing trick they use to stay slim: they

keep a string permanently tied around their forearms. According to

Dr. Drupas, a gentle but constant pressure on the nerves in the

forearm stimulates certain glands, particularly those involved in

weight control (thyroid, suprarenals).

Why don’t you try it? Find two ordinary rubber bands and place

them around your right forearm, one third of the way up between your

wrist and elbow.

The rubber bands should exert noticeable pressure without cutting

off blood circulation and should not slip or slide when you move

your arm. This is not a tourniquet!

For best results, you have to wear the rubber bands constantly,

even at night when you sleep. It is also recommended not to wear any

other jewelry on the right arm.
