The Extreme Method a Venezuelan Beauty Queen Employed to Stay Thin

"It makes me lose weight quicker."

A Miss Venezuela 2013 contestant revealed in a recent interview that she had a piece of plastic mesh sewed to her tongue to prevent her from being able to eat solid foods in her bid to stay thin.

Wi May Nava, 18, showed off the patch to the BBC for a special titled, "South America: Extreme Beauty Queens."
