Yep, you read right. The next new extreme dieting fad may involve you inhaling your food, instead of eating it, as a vapor. French scientist David Edwards and French designer Marc Bretillot invented a fascinating gadget that breaks down food into steam called “Le Whaf.” The device takes out most of the food’s calories, but leaves the best part behind in cloud form–the flavor. The trippy video above shows a bunch of French people inhaling this new form of food.
You have my attention, France.
The process is simple: First “Le Whaf” boils the food down into a liquid, strains it and is transferred to a caldron that turns the liquid into a vapor through an ultrasound. Then, the lucky inhaler sucks the vapors in through a straw an ta-da! An entire meal is consumed without the extra calories.
The gadget costs just $167 and can be used with virtually any food.
