Losing weight with a chip in your arm

Losing weight with a chip in your arm

A chip in your arm that helps you lose weight. Sounds useful right? The first tests have been done and it could just be reality in ten years' time.

The chip checks the number of fats in your blood. When you have eaten enough, the chip releases a hormone that makes you feel full. The chip could help people with obesity enormously. Scientists are busy developing and the first variant has been tested.

It will be difficult to create a chip that will provide a lot of weight loss and work in the long term. The chip is expected to be tested in humans for the first time in about three years. If all goes well, the chip could hit the market a few years later.

What do you think of the idea?
