The Tapeworm Diet

Erm, that is just disgusting.

It even said 'potentially deadly tapeworm'. Those girls know that they're deadly and yet they're still willing to risk their lives by swallowing those things.

Seriously why can't they just be safe and smart about losing weight and invest money into going to the gym or just eating good food.

You can't lose the weight and then go back to eating the same as before, so you may as well start getting used to eating good, lose the weight and continue to eat the same good food after you've got to your goal weight and there won't be so much of a shock later on.

Jeez people are so effing clueless these days.
 
I agree that it's stupid, but it's even worse that society puts such an emphasis on weight that they feel the need to ingest tapeworms to be skinny. How sick is that? I mean, eating healthy and everything works, but it works slowly, so suddenly to speed it up, you have to ingest some sort of parasite. That's our society now days we want something and we want it now.
 
Diets and Exercising goes hand in hand with one another. If you are lazy in the first place and are trying to lose as much weight as possible, a diet might be for you, but its only temporary mind you.

Why? Well consider this, if you don't work out you will be constantly hungry unless you are doing something wrong. Plus Fat Cells have a thing called memory. So surgically there is only one way to remove these.

Tape worm diet? Sounds hot.. Actually if I knew, again I reiterate, if I knew you did this to yourself and you were with me. You would most likely be committed to a mental hospital

I remember this thought crossing my mind agggges ago, some dude did an experiment on tv, he ate some tape worm effort and wanted to see how it affected his health or some shit, and I was like, I bet thats a well good way to lose weight and still fill your face 8F

Not that Id ever do it mind, it's far far to gross and Im too squeamish :sick: This is just people taking it too far, it's absurd, I know I don't have the healthiest view on dieting, but even Im not mental enough to try that.
 
Ewww, that's just gross. Do they not realize that they will rob them of their own nutrients? For one, you need more than one tapeworm in order to have an effective 'weight loss' and if they want a speedy process, which tells me that is indeed the case if they're that desperate to eat a tapeworm. Second, tapeworms will produce waste and toxins inside their bodies...that's just sick. You want to be able to get rid of tapeworms that are inside people's bodies, not the other way around.

Yes, sections of our society are a little over-infatuated with the rail-thin models. But I think that's generally a minority. If you ask most guys what they prefer, it's not the super-skinny girls. There's a biological imperative that looks for certain curves that virtually no amount of sociological brainwashing can override. I know that my personal likes tend to lean toward more athletic body types, i.e. Tyra Banks > Kate Moss.

The other part of it, too, is the women's magazines. They may be the worst culprits of them all. 250 pages of dieting tips, pictures of 98-pound models gracing every other page, how to get that boy to look at you, etc. etc. And the funny thing is, who predominantly writes those magazines? Women and gay men.

So you're starving yourself to hold yourself to a standard set by two groups of people who aren't going to bang you anyway.

Side note: Chemo works miracles.

Added bonus: Wigs are fun.
 
People never cease to shock me. Really, they don't. They are bringing stupidity and vanity to a whole new level. No freakin' way would I swallow that thing! I mean, really, it could kill you. But being skinny in your coffin is supposedly in so... I just don't understand. I feel bad for them that they think this is their last resort.
 
The thing is... those girls aren't even that big. If you're gonna go and do something this drastic, at least make it worth it. I mean, you're not going to go and get surgery if you're that size. You'd have to be a lot larger. If they would try to lose weight at least healthily, I'm sure they could do it in no time.

These girls aren't even thinking about the harmful effects, if you watched the preview for the show the one girl was smiling when they were talking about how gross looking it was. So they're possibly just doing it for the attention.

Just look at that thing in the picture, god.
Once they have to pass the tapeworm out... I don't even know what they're planning on doing to remove it. Especially if they don't plan on having a doctor consult them on this
 
What I don't understand is why anyone in their right mind would pay that much money to go to Mexico (where the procedure is legal), probably get an unlicensed or malpracticing doctor to get the worm inside of you - there are no regulations as far as I'm concerned by the government. It's banned in the U.S. for a good reason (this time); it is potentially deadly and the disadvantages highly outweigh the benefits.

I'd much rather work my ass off at the gym than to have the worm go to my brain and kill me all because I wanted to lose some weight.
 
Well... That was disturbing.

I'd never allow any kind of...organism into my stomach for any reason. It's just not natural. I think there's a reason why tapeworms are called pests. They drain you of nutrients and it can be life-threatening in the long run.

Looking at the bigger picture, I think this tapeworm diet means people have become too lazy to exert effort to lose weight the safe, healthy way. They'd consort to methods that would allow them to still eat a lot and not gain weight--even if it means housing a live tapeworm.
 
-Headdesk-

Seriously?

This is retarded, scary, disturbing and ridiculous all at the same time.

-_- I'm not sure if this can be considered another form of anorexia, 'dieting'.

You can't just get your ass up to go to the gym, but you're willing to swallow something that can kill people? o_O Really?

I thought this article was mostly disturbing, and I think it's complete bullshit, aka they should give the people considering this a hard kick to the head.

Sorry if this offended anyone. But... >.>;;
 
I watched that episode.

It amazes me how far someone would go just to lose weight quickly. That tapeworm diet is absolutely absurd and I'm still shocked that that even exists. People blame the media for the want to be thin, but the ones who are following it are the ones at fault, in my opinion. People should learn to just love themselves. Granted, it's a lot easier said than done, but it's not impossible.
 
This is one of those things that is so obviously retarded that anyone who argues for it, and is being serious, has to be a complete moron. I'm not even going to read the posts until after I post this, because I will assume everyone else said it was stupid too.
 
This is stupid and wrong in every way. Why would you INGEST that thing to LOSE weight? Can't you work out for once? Is it really that hard to give your body some exercise? Sure if that thing does end up making you lose weight, the fat and all that shit you ingested into your body will still end up hurting your heart.

Anyways, HOW does this stupid surgery work?? And whoever thought about this surgery is pretty damn sick in the head..

I don't like the idea of this either, but I don't think you should bash the people for being a bit overweight. It is kind of ignorant to think that you suck this thing up and you're skinny, but still. "Work out for once" It's not like you go for a jog and you're insta-skinny. It doesn't look to me like these girls sit on their couches all day, they seem like they care about their appearance enough. I'm not condoning this in any way, but I really think that when people say things like this it makes these girls want to ingest a tapeworm to fit to your standards.

I don't have a standard for them to be super skinny, and nor am I saying that I am. I just think this idea is completely ridiculous and if they want to be really skinny, maybe they should work out more or eat something healthier. I don't really care if people are overweight, I have nothing against them. I just hate it when they complain and they go to extremes to take an easy way out. I know a few overweight people who are trying to lose weight without having to ingest a worm into their system.
 
I understand, I just took offense at a few lines in there even though they weren't even directed at me. Especially this;

It just seemed a bit harsh. But I do understand what you were trying to say. It is a very extreme route to take to lose weight.

I just don't feel that people who are overweight should be forced to lose weight, I mean it's not anyone else's decision but their own. And when they do decide to lose weight, it shouldn't be through deadly measures like these.
 
This is by far the most absurd thing I've seen in a long time. I can't believe how desperate some people are to lose weight. Diet pills, miracle creams, surgery, tape worms, anything but exercise and eating right.

And apparently, it's not just a diet. There's some website on Worm Therapy, stating that this may be the new treatment for asthma, allergies and autoimmune conditions.

I hope anyone that signs up for this doesn't miss their little disclaimer on the website:

"Note: The use of hookworm or tapeworm to modulate the immune system is an experimental therapy that has not been approved by any governmental body for the treatment, diagnosis, cure or prevention of disease.

Um, thanks, but I'll pass. I'll stick with my Zyrtec, tyvm. -_-
 
OMFG. It's scary that you mention it because There is a show called Fringe and well, it was basically on the same subject except I don't think they lost weight but they still died.( you'll have to check it out) It's really a scary thing now how people are living. I mean, yeah it may be hard to loose some extra pounds and whatnot BUT HAVE COMMON SENSE HELLO?!!! YOUUUUU CAAAAANNNN DIEEE! ugh, it just makes me sick. Well it was their choice sucks to be them and I'm pretty sure they will regret it eventually cus it's coming back around on them. I'm a pretty lazy chick but srsly, this is BEYOND disturbing its yuck. >.< Shouldn't that stuff be illegal?
