So how exactly does it work and is it safe.

Turning now doctor Rick Richard pershing.

The -- scene -- for comprehensive medicine doctor thank you very much for being back.

You know people hear about this and they say great I want to lose twenty pounds in ten days is that really possible.

Well this is a very controversial diet what this doctor is doing is he's putting -- feeding to.

Through the nose into the stomach and he's delivering about 800 calories a day of nutrition.

It consists of protein and fat and it puts the body into a state of -- -- this.

Unfortunately.

This can lead to a lot of other problems dehydration.

Electoral light loss and potential problems like kidney stones not to mention it's totally disgusting I mean people.

While walking relative to what they're knows -- as they're being forced fed.

All -- -- but he says that's key because it prevents hunger that's I think we believe this is a doctor.

Getting the -- himself this is the doctor on the left getting to to put into his own nose.

Is there any and -- what does this say to you was a doctor about the mental state of American women in particular exits at the design for -- to be.

-- who put themselves through their.

Swear we've clearly are putting women into a very difficult position we're asking them to.

You know fit a certain model or an ideal the society has and we're putting a lot of pressure particularly in this case on wedding day for them to look a certain way.

The problem when you put someone on a diet like this.

Is that it always leads to a rebound effect and if people aren't trained properly they don't understand what the risks are they'll end up putting the weight back on.

And in fact they'll put more fat on that they did to Begin -- Believe these before and after pictures in a daily show the chubby body and then the beautiful body I mean really ten days later look at this -- you tell me after ten days.

That's what happened I don't believe that.

Now and and I think that you know it's important for people to see that and understand that's not what's gonna happen and more likely than not.

That the individual goes through that guy's probably gonna end up in the wrong side of the equation afterwards.

And you lose water weight it's not all that that comes off of you -- you put your body starts to think it's starving so then as soon as this.

Feeding tube is gone and you start eating normally on your honeymoon what happens well.

-- just gonna put more weight on and you -- to Begin with and again with -- Yo-Yo dieting when you go and when you lose that water and you -- affect the fact you also lose muscle -- -- well.

That often returns as more excess weight.

So what we need to think about our way is for women men for society to start to lose weight properly.

Cut back on the number of calories and portion control cut out the cars in the sugar in the suites cut out the sugars in the artificial sweeteners which can cause.

People to crave more sugars and and -- don't -- late at night.

Make sure if you sit down for a meal that -- not hungry it's important eat regular portions regular meals at at specific intervals they've got some snacks with the likes.

Tell us during the day I think it a lot of fiber in your guy is great because it fills you up if you don't -- behind real day -- -- it really does fill you up.

Some fiber line in your yogurt in the morning neck and I think personally have found the zone and I highly recommended doctor thank you thank you.
