There's certainly no replacement for a healthy diet and exercise to lose weight, but the 'LumiDiet' slimming device could help to boost a person's ability to shed unwanted fat and pounds.

Available now for preorder on [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microbe-pulser), the 'LumiDiet' belt works by emitting [LED light therapy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-esthetics) into the [fat cells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weight-management-system) on a person's abdomen. From here, the cells are broken down and encouraged to release in order to be shed more easily.

The 'LumiDiet' slimming device can be used on the stomach, back, thighs and even arms with treatment sessions taking just 30 minutes twice a day to be effective.

The 'LumiDiet' reached its funding goal in just three days via crowdfunding, which shows significant interest by a wide array of consumers.
