Dangers And Complications Of The Tapeworm Diet

Getting a parasitic infection can result in a dangerous scenario, but some individuals do this intentionally to increase their ability to lose weight. Individuals will swallow some sort of capsule that actually contains the egg of a tapeworm, then wait for it to hatch and grow in their intestines. The entire premise behind this risky diet is the tapeworm will eat the food eaten by the individual, allowing them to lose weight without working at it.
