I remember watching a Doctor Who episode, where these little alien things invaded fat people's bodies, and every night, a little being would "pop" out of them... and take five pounds of fat with them. Of course, they were called the Adipose. Because they kept stripping the fat from people until they died, the aliens had to be confronted by the Doctor.
My idea, though, was that if you could just control how much they took and for how long, a grateful Earth would probably embrace them.
"I'd like to contract with the Adipose to remove 1 pound of fat a day for 15 days, then a break for my body to adjust. We'll renegotiate after that."
