Women who want to lose weight are being offered a startling new way to burn fat - by being set on fire.



Would-be slimmers are flocking to a spa in Hong Kong that promises to reduce their waistlines by smearing them with Chinese herbs, dousing them with alcohol and then setting light to them, all for £78 a session.

The spa claims that the intense heat of the fire penetrates deep tissue, increasing circulation and helping the body to absorb the herbal concoction which works to detoxify the body and break down fat.

The results, it boasts, are immediate with customers recording losses of up to 15 centimetres of fat after the first session.

The Life of Life Healing Spa in Hong Kong's busy Causeway Bay district has been offering the treatment since it opened in August.

SPONTANEOUS human combustion in for a return bigtime???

I'd rather be big. :wow:

some husband somewhere will set his wife on fire and claim he read about this as a treatment for obesity.

Considering the amount of fat hatred in this country...such an individual just might get off.
