Diet Book Author Advocates New 'No Food Diet'

Today Now! talks with a diet book author who reveals that many things are surprisingly edible when you are driven mad by hunger.
More coverage at: onion.com

[@vexivero]

Air has about .057 calories per breath. Reducing your air intake will significantly help in losing weight.

[@Dcook85]

+Vexivero VXVO Especially once you get to the decomposition phase of your diet. THE FAT JUST MELTS AWAY!

[@aidanmco]

Tregeta Doctor who!!!

[@abcd123906]

Vexivero Absolutely not true. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. If we take a breath every 3 seconds, that would be (86,400 / 3) x 0.057 = 1,642 calories. That's over 3/4 of the recommended 2,000 calorie daily intake. So we should only be eating

[@klille]

that's those hidden calories she was talking about in the video

[@colton2193]

I'm too fat to look it up, but if air did in fact have calories, it would be considered a constant or stable variable,. This means that since we are all breathing (as we are living) any calculations of necessary daily caloric intake would be independent of this. I found vexivero's comment to be hilarious, then i found yours and thought it was intelligent, but logically inconsistent. I may or may not be onioning you right now... But it sounded damn good.

[@abcd123906]

Think about the fact that they actually had to find a woman who was that thin who was willing to make a parody of herself. I mean, she is a real human actor after all. Where do they find these people!?

[@joshuastoughton9444]

I wonder that all the time, especially when they hire people to play the part of really fat/ugly/whatever unsatisfying role the actor is playing so the audience has something to laugh at; I still enjoy this kind of "offend everyone humor", although only if its intended to entertain and not solely mock an individual, but anyways I dont know how some actors put themselves through it.

[@jackspicer4907]

She exclusively eats inanimate objects. She's not OK.

[@harrisonbraun4862]

...............but this isn't real?

[@steeldutchess]

Of course, it isn't real (the show and her character), but her body is quite real. Actors do do weird things for their roles: Christian Bale lost 60 lbs for his role in The Machinist. But that was for a FILM and it took him several months. And still, he didn't look as malnourished as this actress. So, the concern for her health is reasonable. I don't know how long it took her to prepare for the role, I just hope she isn't this skinny due to an illness.

[@AtlasReburdened]

Unfortunately, it's more than likely that she has a genetic disorder which doesn't allow her body to store fat or produce some key metabolic enzyme. I doubt she forced herself into that condition. The ethics of it breaches even what the onion is willing to do. All things considered, if she made it to that age she probably has access to appropriate enough treatment that she should have a relatively normal lifespan, and its probably better than the opposite.

Just make something up, post it, and add a really lengthy source that takes a long time to double-check. When someone finally removes the disinformation, quickly put it back with a different source. For definitions, I just do a search like "brocade merriam" to find the Merriam-Webster entry. It's a little shorter than Wikipedia, but I know it isn't just made up.

This is the funniest video yet! I laughed so hard when she said she was consuming "post it notes" and "wash cloths"

[@JohnSmith-ms4xd]

In case you are wondering, the actress playing the author had a medical condition that caused her to be emaciated.

[@mutedonkey8361]

I believe her condition was called finger down throat syndrome

Her diet works wonders! I used to weigh 120lbs, now I weigh 30lbs. Hoping to hit 20lbs soon!

Used to go to school with a girl who had this condition. Her sister had it and it was when I saw their father that I understood it's genetics.

This is literally breatharianism

[@TheChickenRiceBowl]

It's awesome that she has such a great sense of humor about it.

[@breakfreak3181]

It's not even satire. There actually are people who have damaged their bodies because they thought that they could survive on minimal food, fresh air and sunlight (Breatharians - seriously!) A guy in Russia recently went to jail for murder because he convinced his girlfriend that their child could survive on no food. Sadly the child died.
