Illustration of the proposed technical concept. a Schematic diagram of weight gain. When the intake is greater than consumption, the body weight increases. b Theoretical basis of the present study. By reducing the absorption rate, we can achieve weight loss without dieting or exercising. c, d Schematic of intestinal peristalsis stimulated by the vibration of EMNPs. The small intestine would accelerate peristalsis under the stimulation of EMNPs with a magnetic field and regulate the absorption of food and alcohol. The strength of the H-field can be controlled by a mobile app, which can adjust the absorption ratio of the intake
