New Scientist -- I’M lying on a bed in a cosy room. Soothing music plays in the background. Four palm-sized paddles rest silent and cool across my midriff. In the time it takes to do a typical gym workout, I could be up to 7 inches thinner than I was before I lay down. No, I’m not in the middle of a daydream, I’m in a private clinic in London, and I’m about to have my fat zapped.
