OVERWEIGHT WILLING TO RISK DEATH TO GET SLIM

How desperate are overweight people to shed their extra pounds? Desperate enough that they are willing to risk death. And so desperate that they value losing weight as much as severely depressed patients value relief from their illness, a new survey has found. Ref. Source

Weight Losing

I know this too be true from a personal view. Back when Metabolife was on the market I took it for about 18 months. Even though I knew there were health risks associated with it. It didn't matter, because it worked for me and that was all I really cared about at the time. Since then I changed my approach to simply count calories and do more exercise...this works too, it just isn't as easy.

Losing Weight Health & Special Psychology

I wouldn't say I would take risky measures to lose weight, but I would take what some folks would call "drastic" measures. I would not go so far as to have one of those "gastric bypass" surgeries, but I'd be willing to fast for specific periods of time (under strict guidlines! ). Even though I know the best weight loss program is eating healthfully and exercising, I would still be willing to "jump start" my weight loss by following an unorthodox method for a short time.
