Like I said – if your a fat-ass, it is a good solution. Stomach banding also works, but that’s invasive and frankly an unnecessary surgery. Additionally, unless you are disgustingly fat, your medical insurance will not pay for stomach banding.

Ingest a tapeworm segments. Purge your intestine every 3-4 months. Repeat until you have your weight at a normal level. Cost? Hardly anything.

Besides this there is a positive psychological element to the tapeworm. The concept is disgusting, so a person is less likely to become addicted to tapeworms.

Tapeworms are a viable medical option to treat obesity. Not nearly as good a solution as putting down the fucking fork, but still a very good solution to as problem.

@nyokki:
Users may become anemic, so it’s recommended to take vitamins.

Wildly advertised in different preparations (dried, bottled, chocolate coated) in the 20s, a tapeworm consumed such ways would have been dead long before they were in your digestive system. Live cysts should be eaten to gain the desired effect.

Under NO circumstances should one purposely ingest pork or fish tapeworms; they can really mess you up!

Only for 10 meter monsters.

Tapeworms are old school.

Tapeworms have been used many, many times as an acceptable weight loss means. In the 1920’s chocolate coated tapeworm sections (egg sacks) were commonly sold in many countries.

Killing the tapeworm(s) when you reach your weight target is easily done by several pharmaceuticals and home remedies (hot milk should work). There are almost no problems with tapeworms if managed properly.

To be honest, if you are a fat-ass, no self-control, shit stain of a person – tape worms are an acceptable solution.

And then what, get it surgically removed, or what?
