BURN, BABY, BURN

Could you stick to an 800-a-day calorie for 10 days? How about by eating no food, and with a feeding tube hanging out of your nose?

The process, known as the K-E, or feeding-tube, diet, is being reported as an increasingly popular alternative to ordinary weight-loss programs.

From Good Morning America:

The program has dieters inserting a feeding tube into their nose that runs to the stomach. Theyre fed a constant slow drip of protein and fat, mixed with water, which contains zero carbohydrates and totals 800 calories a day. Body fat is burned off through a process called ketosis, which leaves muscle intact, Dr. Oliver Di Pietro of Bay Harbor Islands, Fla., said.

It is a hunger-free, effective way of dieting, Di Pietro said. Within a few hours and your hunger and appetite go away completely, so patients are actually not hungry at all for the whole 10 days. Thats what is so amazing about this diet.

Di Pietro says patients arent hospitalized. They wear the tube and carry the food solution around with them in a bag.
