Is it normal to eat a tape worm to lose weight?

So I had a friend recently tell me that tape worms will eat anything you put in your stomach and thus prevent you from actually consuming any calories. If this works, this is definitely something I'm interested in. My friend thinks it's absolutely insane and says it's really dangerous and that I shouldn't do it. Any suggestions on whether or not people should do this?

    I'm convinced this is only a troll and/or a unfunny, attention-seeking post, but in the one in a million chance you're actually serious about doing this, and stupid enough to do it, please NEVER kiss anybody, and poop/pee in a bucket only and never, ever use public restrooms so you don't spread tapeworms to anyone else!!! It's just wrong to do that to other people, and I don't know what kind of nasty legal problems that could get you in, especially if you seriously hurt somebody. What would happen if a 80 year old woman or a young child got a tapeworm from you?

    If you are serious, you need to talk to someone like a DR or psychologist, because this sounds like something to due with a eating disorder.

    Please, DO NOT do this to yourself.

    Frankly, I'm just wondering where you're sourcing a tapeworm from. Do they sell those at Walmart or something?

    Sure go ahead and have your hair fall out and your face get early wrinkles due to lack of nutrients. Please block those intestines and have that worm clog your organs so they function abnormally. Oh and while you're losing that weight at an extreme rate from not taking a single calorie, enjoy that extra saggy flappy fupa skin. Anything but proper diet and exercise.

    Seriously, do some research and come up with a diet and exercise plan if you want to lose weight. The worm idea is only going to make you ugly and kill you. XD

      My sister used to have an internet friend who had a tapeworm and claimed he got rid of it by sitting on the loo for 2 hours and pulling it out of his own bum. Is this how you see your future OP?

      Also as someone downvoted this I’m now wondering is one of our own has their own resident tape worm and this hit a little close to home?

        Pushing and pulling something out of the ass for two hours sounds pretty shitty though. The hip flexors, abdominal muscles, and intestines are probably going to be put under extreme stress doing that. Hell, how would one know if they got rid of the worm itself and that it just wasn't more segments of said worm? Ewww!

        People act like they're allergic to proper diet and exercise. They will go through every avenue that isn't that in order to try to lose weight all while sitting on their asses doing nothing. It makes no sense. XD

    Put simply, it works. That's why people did it in the past, if it didn't work, or, at least, appear to work, they wouldn't have done it.

    The real issue is when the worm gets big enough that it starts consuming -all- of your calories, and you die of malnutrition.

    This is something that my friends and I joke about but no I don’t think I would actually go out of my way to eat a live worm. I’m fine being chubby.

    Do it. If you're dumb enough to eat a tapeworm to lose weight, you deserve the effects it's going to have.
