Have you heard of this new fat freezing treatment that supposedly gets rid of fat without surgery? I know, it sounds too good to be true, but it was just approved by the FDA. Good Morning America recently aired what amounted to an infomercial about it. The before and after photos were not to be believed.

Its a one-hour treatment called Zeltiq. According to GMA “a vacuum like device pulls in those annoying bits around the middle and literally freezes them. The fat cells die a slow death over 6 to 8 weeks and the results are dramatic.”

Now I don’t know about you, but since I have turned 50, I have a harder time fighting off fat around my stomach. I am in pretty good shape and recently joined a new gym.  I would gladly try something like this fat-freezing treatment if I could be guaranteed that it might actually do some good.

Have any of you had any experience with this? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts. The treatment is so new that there aren’t many reviews. At a price tag of $800 to $1500 per treatment, I think I will stick with working out at the gym….at least until the price for this treatment comes down!
