Did anyone else see this? It was shocking to see these ladies trying to get down to a size 00 (US Size 2) within 6 weeks. They were a size 12 (US size 8) before the experiment.

It was interesting to see that when one of the ladies ate soup only for a week she lost only 1/2 lb because her metabolism shut down.

The other lady ended up binging and using laxatives. The doctor informed her that using laxatives does not erase calories!!

One of the ladies did reach her goal but the other did not. They both achieved scary thin. The lady that reached her goal had gained 7 lbs (I think) after she checked in with the doctor after a week.

It was very interesting.

I did not see this but why would anyone want to be a size 0?

that experiment sounds like a nightmare and some people are in dire need of attention.

It was a good show because it was clearly showing the negative affects of starving yourself and rapid weight loss.
