Tapeworm Diet

We have all tried our hardest to shed unwanted pounds, and they have come up with some crazy diets. But the worst thing I have heard of is of a tapeworm diet. At first I thought it was crazy, no one would want a worm in them. But people are willing to pay big bucks in order to get a tapeworm in their body. In case you don't know what a tapeworm is let me tell you. A tapeworm is a type of parasite that grows in animals and lay eggs. When not found in the animal, it can be found in the raw meat if not cleaned and/or cooked properly. What this tapeworm does is that it eats the food that you are eating. It does this because it needs to grow, it can grow up to 30 feet in humans. You can eat all you want with the worm inside you but imagine a worm of 30 feet in your body for the purpose of loosing weight. It is illegal in US and it is not approved by the FDA, but that does not stop people from getting this tapeworm. Being that it is not approved by the FDA and that it is a type of parasite would scare me off. Now when you eat right and exercise regularly you can keep the weight off and be healthy. With a tapeworm, once the tapeworm is removed you will the gain the weight again if you keep eating the way you were when you had the tapeworm in you. In some cases the tapeworm has had to be removed in a hospital or by a doctor. Tyra Banks had an entire episode on her talk show about crazy diets and the tapeworm diet. After hearing and reading about all these crazy diets, my question is, is it more important to loose weight than it is to be healthy?
