A drastic new tool is being used in the US in the fight against fat and it is all based around pain.
A doctor in the US is attaching plastic mesh to patients' tongues so it hurts to eat solid foods.
The patients are also placed on a liquid diet and a strict exercise regime for a month, in a bid to lose weight.
The mesh acts as a painful reminder not to eat food.
So far, 27 patients have undergone the month long treatment, each losing between seven and 14 kgs.
