Extreme Dieting: The Feeding Tube Diet is Catching On

Some brides-to-be are prepping to say 'I do' by inserting a feeding tube in their nose. Also known as the K-E method, it's the latest wedding crash diet, and it's raising eyebrows among health experts. The 10-day plan requires brides-to-be to live with a nasogastric tube inserted through their nose and threaded into their stomach. A protein pack dispenses a liquid mix of nutrients, but no carbs, supplying about 800 calories a day. (Most experts recommend healthy adult women get about 2,000 to 2,400 calories a day.) The feeding tube diet throws the body into starvation, and is touted as helping followers drop 20 pounds in 10 days. "People are taking an unnecessary medical risk by putting in a [feeding] tube," David Heber, director of the UCLA Risk Factor Obesity Program, told Time. "To do it for no reason seems to me overly risky. Without medical supervision … it's not safe."

Brown adipose tissue

It was believed that after infants grow up, most of the mitochondria (which are responsible for the brown color) in brown adipose tissue disappear, and the tissue becomes similar in function and appearance to white fat. However, more recent research has shown that brown fat is related not to white fat, but to skeletal muscle.[3][4][5]

Further, recent studies using Positron Emission Tomography scanning of adult humans have shown that it is still present in adults in the upper chest and neck. The remaining deposits become more visible (increasing tracer uptake, that is, more metabolically active) with cold exposure, and less visible if an adrenergic beta blocker is given before the scan. The recent study could lead to a new method of weight loss, since brown fat takes calories from normal fat and burns it. Scientists were able to stimulate brown fat growth in mice, but human trials have not yet begun.[6][7]

In rare cases, brown fat continues to grow, rather than involuting; this leads to a tumour known as a hibernoma.

Zinc deficiency is usually due to insufficient dietary intake, but can be associated with malabsorption, acrodermatitis enteropathica, chronic liver disease, chronic renal disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes, malignancy, and other chronic illnesses.[2] Symptoms of mild zinc deficiency are diverse.[169] Clinical outcomes include depressed growth, diarrhea, impotence and delayed sexual maturation, alopecia, eye and skin lesions, impaired appetite, altered cognition, impaired host defense properties, defects in carbohydrate utilization, and reproductive teratogenesis.[163] Mild zinc deficiency depresses immunity,[180] although excessive zinc does also.[150] Animals with a diet deficient in zinc require twice as much food in order to attain the same weight gain as animals given sufficient zinc.[115]

Skipping breakfast, cold baths and black coffee are some of the extreme weight-loss techniques that are taking the dieting world by storm.

For many of the working poor this is routine... No time for breakfast... Black coffee, cos we need it for fuel.. cold baths are coming cos it'll be too damned expensive to heat the water...

Welcome to the land of prosperity!
