Neurostimulation-A New Technique to Lose Weight?

I have been trying to lsoe weight for some time now. I do manage to lsoe a few kilos but am never able to maintain the loss due to my love for food and put it on again.

I recently came across an article that talked about a new technique for weight reduction. It was called Neurostimulation. It is a sort of passive exercise regimen where they stimulate certain nerve points to increase body metabolism. I dont know effective it is to maintain loss of weight but some people have seen good results.

Has anyone used this technique? Do you think this could be a good replacement for the old methods of weight loss or do you think sweating it out the hard way is the only means for sustained weight loss?
