Tapeworm Diet

The tapeworm diet seems to be the latest fad after recently exploring the Drive Thru Diet. The tapeworm diet sounds rather scary. What is the tapeworm diet and is the tapeworm diet a viable way to get fit for the New Year?

As everyone resolves to lose weight in 2010, concepts like the tapeworm diet gain interest. The tapeworm diet and other fads were mentioned over a month ago on The Tyra Banks Show. People scrambling for quick weight loss fixes are searching for the tapeworm diet and the drive thru diet.

The tapeworm diet involves ingesting a parasite so you can eat more. According to Diets in Review, the tapeworm, "secretes proteins in our intestinal tract that make our digestion of food much less efficient. A less efficient digestive systems means that you can consume more calories through your food since your "body guest" is also noshing on them for his own growth purposes. Some scientists estimate that those infected with a single tapeworm can lose up to one or two pounds each week."

Eeww is all I can say about the tapeworm diet. I thought the drive thru diet sounded odd but the tapeworm diet beats it by far. Would you try the tapeworm diet? You have to leave the country according to this website promoting the tapeworm diet.

There is no substitute for a healthy diet, positive perspective and regular exercise. If you want to get fit for the new year, join us at the Gather group Shedding Light. I would definitely avoid the tapeworm diet...
