The mechanism, appears to be that it causes the fat cells to release their stored fat into the bloodstream where it can (potentially) be burned for energy. One still must be in a calorie deficit to have actual fat loss. Your overall diet and lifestyle must be conducive to overall net fat loss, otherwise you will just put back the fat right backing into the fat cells it was release from.... Think of the light therapy more as a tool to amplify the fat loss effects from diet and exercise... This technology can be used to greatly accelerate loss of overall body fat, and even "stubborn fat" from fat areas that normally are resistant to being burned off - for men, this is the lower abdomen and love handles, and for women, the hips and thighs...

As I said at the beginning of this book, if there were a drug that had scientific research showing all these benefits, it would be an absolute Blockbuster drug for the pharmaceutical companies -- it would be hailed as a "miracle drug" and prescribed to everyone.

http://www.center4research.org/infrared-light-therapy-work-weight-reduction/If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There is little scientific evidence supporting the claims that infrared light, whether administered by lamp, laser or while in a body wrap, can help people lose weight or shape their body. Nevertheless, in 2010, the FDA cleared a laser called Zerona, manufactured by Erchonia Medical Inc., which uses red light therapy to remove “unwanted” fat without surgical procedures.
Light therapy has been tested in clinical trials of patients, but these studies were not as scientific as they would need to be to prove safety or effectiveness.
A study funded by Erchonia (the company that makes Zerona) included 54 overweight or obese patients.4 Most of the patients were Caucasian men. The patients were treated weekly for 6 weeks. The study found a significant reduction in the combined circumference of hips, waist, thighs, and upper abdomen by 13 cm (about 5 inches) after 6 weeks. Two weeks after the final treatment, patients lost another 2 cm (about 0.8 inches).

Then we can see how LLLT works!

Results
The studies as of today suggest that LLLT has a potential to be used in fat and cellulite reduction as well as in improvement of blood lipid profile without any significant side effects. One of the main proposed mechanism of actions is based upon production of transient pores in adipocytes, allowing lipids to leak out. Another is through activation of the complement cascade which could cause induction of adipocyte apoptosis and subsequent release of lipids.

As far as diet, how many people can stay on a diet? (A ha! This is where Dr. Leung's discovery regarding high dose vitamin B5 comes in Calorie deficit without hunger. )
