Selling Starvation: The Shameful Case of Teddi Mellencamp

A secretive lifestyle programme you can only join after signing a non-disclosure agreement, that demands you be accountable at all times and is run by someone who is accountable to no one, that limits participants to about five hundred calories a day - about a third of the calories prisoners were getting at Auschwitz - and very much appears to set them up for failure and dependency.
In this Bizarre Summary, I'm looking at Teddi Mellencamp's dangerous diet program.

After less than two months I was suffering terrifying neurological symptoms from the malnutrition. I realized I was killing myself. I managed to get my disordered eating under control within a few months, but I couldn't fix all the damage. I lost 80 lbs and I am now maintaining a normal weight, but I still have health issues four years later and I fear I have done some irreparable harm to my body.

Great upload, except that there’s one rather large error at the beginning. Auschwitz prisoners were not receiving 1500 calories a day. Not even close. Maybe half that. In fact, the 500 calorie a day starvation diet was probably pretty close to the calorie intake of a concentration camp victim. Those who were imprisoned towards the very end may have received exactly zero calories (meaning no rations at) a day as well.

[@pnwlady]

I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. 500, like an Auschwitz prisoner.

[@jasminr-p7981]

^^ great point! The people enslaved at Auschwitz were also forced to subsist (or die) on food which was difficult on the stomach and therefor would not be kept down /nourish as well as even this abusive diet would. A powerful comparison but needing more nuance

[@willywonka2107]

It actually needs to be exposed in mainstream media. That way the responsible news outlets will question her and make her accountable! (Hahahahahaha) She will then have to defend any credentials she has and that will draw attention to what she really is doing. Former victims, I mean customers will then come forward and whatever department it is who takes care of these things by keeping pro ana stuff away from the public, will be compelled to investigate and hopefully shut her down and make her face criminal charges. Does anyone there in the USA know a journalist who would look into this? It would be worth speaking with them, outlaying your concerns and ask them what they thibk. Then you will have done all you can to save others from this kind of abuse, and know you did good.

What about SELF ACCOUNTABILITY?? These people WANTED, ASKED & PAID to be held accountable! They were aware of what the program involved, there were plentiful good and bad reviews online. Anyone who asks for leadership & accountability cannot then when they disagree play the victim & blame the group for holding them accountable! This is the crux of the matter, lack of self accountability. These mostly wealthy people WELCOMED this leadership & group dynamic that can be great to hold ppl accountable. The bottom line is they weren't hostages or victims. All they had to do if they weren't happy was leave. Blaming others for one's OWN poor choices is one of the biggest problems with society.
