At around end of year, many people, especially in US, are busy preparing their New Year Resolution. And for the last several years, “Diet” has been one of the most popular New Year Resolution’s choice. The term I’m about to mention is kinda weird, but some people say it’s natural, especially after this topic was aired on “Tyra Banks Show”: Tapeworm Diet. Are you interested? Read below…

Some women in more developed nations are willingly putting these parasites into their bodies to drop a few pounds. Eating cabbage soup for two weeks. Exercising three times day. Drinking water with lemon juice and cayenne pepper for 10 days. We can all admit to going to great lengths, even if just once, to lose those unwanted pounds. But the Tapeworm Diet has to get as extreme and desperate as the world of dieting tricks and methods come. The good news is that importing or selling tapeworms in the U.S. is illegal. Tapeworms though, do occur in undercooked beef or raw meat dishes which are prone to contamination. The tapeworm diet involves ingesting a parasite so you can eat more.

The “tapeworm diet” is making its rounds on the Internet this afternoon, as a “Tyra Banks Show” episode that aired in November makes an encore appearance. On that show, the model-turned-TV-personality interviewed women who said they would willingly ingest a yellowish worm (likely in egg form, rather than its yards-long full-grown counterpart) in order to lose weight.

PRO

• Weight loss is pretty much guaranteed
• A scientist in Japan believes that tapeworms can also help clear up allergies like hay fever

CON

• Can be deadly
• Banned by the FDA
• Medical intervention may be needed to get rid of the tapeworm
• There are side effects to having a tapeworm
• Can’t purchase or import one
• Once you get rid of the tapeworm, you risk putting weight back if you continue eating like you have a tapeworm

DIET & NUTRITION

The Tapeworm Diet is anything but a diet. Since a sizable percentage of what you eat goes to the tapeworm, it’s a virtual dieter’s dream: eat whatever you want and lose weight. Taking extra vitamins during an infection might help to prevent the massive nutrient loss. Following an infection, all those lost pounds can be easily put back on if you don’t follow a healthy eating plan for just you and not your parasite.

TREATMENT

Treatment for getting rid of a tapeworm varies from grotesque to the less grotesque. A strong course of antibiotics is prescribed to get rid of the tapeworm.

CONCLUSION

Now, after reading a brief about the Tapeworm Diet, are you gonna try it? I’d suggest to ask your doctor or your health consultant before you really do it.
