I somehow got onto this video from Tyra about a tapeworm diet. - http://tinyurl.com/77krs3c

Had to hold back from vomiting a few times! SO DISGUSTING!

I can't believe that people take this to lose weight! The women on the show who want it are absolute idiots.

    To me that's only about a half step worse the HCG diet.

    Apparently this way big in the 70s before they learned the dangerous effects.

    Desperate people. Or... lazy people. lol Gosh, I don't know ANYONE who can't lose weight if they just follow the age old "calories in calories out" formula. If you are too lazy to work out or can't bring yourself to eat less then boo-hoo if you can't lose weight. I can't believe what people will do to their bodies to keep from actually WORKING for something. People putting a parasite in their body just because they can't be bothered to eat less. How disgusting.

    The NINETEEN seventies? Because I can't imaging the dangerous effects weren't known in the 1970s.

    This is why a focus on weight is BAD. Healthiness needs to be the focus, and we have to stop sending the message that people who are larger are not as attractive as those who are smaller, because it makes kids, especially girls, risk their lives to be thin, and there's nothing healthy in that.

    This is awful! I can't believe people talk with such a horrible attitude like some of the women on that show.


    Tyra has the craziest people on her show.

    The tapeworm diet has been around for ages - way before the 70's. The tapeworm diet has been around at least since the early 1900's. Check out this ad from that time:

    Awww....come on everybody! They're easy to swallow - and there's no ill effects! What the hell could possibly go wrong?

    Who cares about health, aren't women only interested in changing their bodies to get men?

    The ad made me think about the weight gain ads.

    Fat? Tapeworm! Skinny? Weight gain products! You're never allowed to be happy with your body! :laugh:

    No diet, no baths!

    This is really interesting. I wonder if you'd be twice as hungry because you had a tape worm in your body... thus you'd eat more but still lose weight. It's sad how people would want to damage their bodies just for the sake of losing weight.
