Er... can anyone with a better[*] knowledge of human biology/metabolism explain this to me? (It's a "diet patch", presumably after the manner of nicotine patches.)
The explanations others have given are plausible, but so far as I'm aware have not been tested thoroughly. I strongly suspect the science behind it is very similar in nature to that behind crystal healing amulets, herbal Viagra, and snake oil - viz., for a unifying explanation you need to look at the human sciences rather than the natural sciences.
This is a pompous way of saying I think it's rubbish. *grin*
