Your Yucky Body: Disgusting Diet Trends
Originally uploaded by M1khaela.
Partly inspired by the disgusting facts about the weirdly popular diet drug Alli, but partly by a personal experience. A few years ago I had a horrible case of pneumonia that left me bed-ridden and barely able to breathe for three miserable weeks. When I returned to the world of the living, sickly and weak, I got all these compliments for losing weight (“you look so HEALTHY!â€? “what diet are you on?”) when I had never been MORE unhealthy in my life. Skinny does NOT equal healthy.
