Does this image strike fear in your heart?  Mine too.

But...a new diet claims you can lose weight just by tapping on different parts of your body. This is the kind of diet I can get behind! :)

When you want to eat something bad for you, you dive deep into your soul and ask yourself what's REALLY bothering you. Like, are you stressed at work, worried about money, etc. Then, you talk yourself through that issue, while tapping on certain acupuncture points on your body.

So while you're saying, "I'm OK, you're OK," while simultaneously tapping random body parts, and someone looks at you funny, you simply nod and smile, and say, "BACK OFF, I'M BUSY LOSING WEIGHT!!!!"

OK, maybe not.

Either way, the most insane part...89 women tried it, and they lost an average of 16 pounds in eight weeks, and had kept it off six months after the study.
