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.

I wouldnt do it!

I couldn't open the link, but setting myself on fire definitely sounds like it would be something I wouldn't do for any reason.

Good heavens.

OMG - that is wild! It probably works on the same principle of heat wraps - it just makes people sweat out a bunch of water.

I love the line "Its owner, Karen Chu, boasts that about 100 customers have successfully undergone the treatment - with no casualties."

No casulaties? I never want to undertake any kind of beuaty treatment where I need to worry about whether or not there will be casualties.

I thought you were kidding, thats completly unreal, I guess Im just to western, count me in as one who is afraid of being set on fire!!!

Omg!!!

I'll stay fat thanks

LOL I think I'll try other methods!

As PT Barnum once said, there's a sucker born every minute.
