Extreme Weight Loss Experiment Takes Heavy Toll

Another Clark Kent/Superman article. Still instructive, though.

A lot of the filler in this article is true trash. This is to be expected of ABC, the network of Oprah Winfrey, David Katz and Jorge Cruise.

In fact, the results described in this article are from diets less severe than those promoted by Katz, Cruise, Oprah, Mehmet Oz, Art Agatston, Dave Zinczenko, Consumer Reports and others.

"In the film, called "Super Skinny Me," two average-size British journalists, Louise Burke and Kate Spicer, agree to a radical experiment -- drop five dress sizes in just five weeks."

Like so many people who listen to fat Oprah or read her rag "O":

"She turned to magazines for the latest fad diets."

What happened? The same as it always does on expert diets:

" In just one week, though, both women saw dramatic results. But the experiment began to take a drastic physical toll."

Now for the predictable overeating when you have an opportunity:

"A dinner out with friends led to bingeing.

'I can't stop eating," Spicer said in the movie. "I don't know if all that hunger has made me eat all of this food in a strange anxious way but it's not right.'''

Here is where one of them gets a bit full of herself instead of food:

'''Basically I proved that not eating enough makes you go mental,' Spicer said.

Unfortunately for her, basically, she proved nothing. All she did was confirm what had already been proven decades ago.

"'I believe in journalism," Spicer said. "The best ways to understand something is to become it.'''

Too bad she doesn't believe in doing competent research. She could have saved herself a lot of grief.

The other just got full of depression, also well-described.

Burke also said losing that much weight so quickly 'sent me into depression really, and I've never been like that before, ever!'

Burke lost 14 pounds over five weeks."

That is much less than the diets of Cruise, Katz, Agatston, Atkins, Oz, Oprah and the rest would have you lose.

Are you ready to wake up and recognize your real enemies?

And make them pay for the harm they cause? Not just to you, but kids, too.
