A nerve-zapping headset caused people to shed fat in a small preliminary study.
Six people who had received the stimulation lost on average about 8 percent of the fat on their trunks in four months, scientists reported November 12 at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
The headset stimulated the vestibular nerve, which runs just behind the ears. That nerve sends signals to the hypothalamus, a brain structure thought to control the body's fat storage. By stimulating the nerve with an electrical current, the technique shifts the body away from storing fat toward burning it, scientists propose.
Six overweight and obese people received the treatment, consisting of up to four one-hour-long sessions of stimulation a week. Because it activates the vestibular system, the stimulation evoked the sensation of gently rocking on a boat or floating in a pool, said study coauthor Jason McKeown of the University of California, San Diego.

no easy solution for that feeling except discipline
Moralizing scumbag, you're missing the point, as is typical of morons like you.
If a full rectum suppresses hunger, how about stimulating the rectum to suppress hunger. Shove a balloon up your ass to stretch your rectum, then you won't be motivated to eat.
You personally should try it, and make sure you over inflate and die, please.

Simple solution to this one....
Just don't give a shit. Literally.
I can guarantee you that in a few hours, eating will be the last thing on your mind.
