Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for diet and weight loss control by altering the senses of smell and taste. Olfactory nerves are ablated in a localized area at the top of the nasal cavity, resulting in a loss of smell, which also decreases the sense of taste and results in a reduced appetite, enabling a patient to eat less and lose weight. After several months the nerves begin to regenerate, and the sense of smell and taste return, although a repeat ablation can be performed if necessary, such as if new dietary habits have not yet been firmly established.

The prophylactic hinders odoriferous molecules from reaching smell receptors in the nose. The loss of smell, appetite, and taste caused by apparatus and methods effectively decreases the appetite of an individual, enabling a user to eat less and lose weight.
