Abstract
A protocol for body fat management comprises the steps of stimulating the release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream of a person and, within 20 minutes thereafter, ingesting into the person a collagen-based formula. The stimulating step may be conducted by delivering a low voltage alternating current to the person's body, which may be accomplished utilizing an electronic stimulation device to deliver the current to the feet of the person. The device may be provided with the capability for adjustment of both the voltage level and frequency of the current as well as the capability to enable operation of the device only upon payment to a service provider of a fee.
