Feeling full just by swallowing cotton balls? Female model's weight loss moves are a big NG

In a fashion world where models are taller and slimmer than each other, they will do anything to have outstanding looks and maintain a good figure. Bria Murphy, a 23-year-old who once participated in America's Next Top Model, said that it is also popular in the modeling circle to swallow cotton balls dipped in orange juice or milkshake to increase satiety, because cotton has no calories and can be decomposed by itself in the stomach, making it an alternative weight loss method. However, cotton may block the trachea and cause suffocation, or block the intestines and cause stones. Experts do not recommend this method of weight loss at all.

Cotton balls soaked in juice may cause choking

According to the International Business Times, a short video recently appeared on YouTube, showing a woman dipping a cotton ball in orange juice, lemon juice or milkshake and swallowing the whole thing, saying that this can increase satiety and has zero calories. Jennifer Lombardi of the Eating Recovery Center in California said that in addition to malnutrition, this method also poses a risk of choking as cotton can easily get stuck in the throat.

The cotton ball diet is not the first extreme diet method used in the modeling industry. In April this year, a former editor of American Vogue magazine revealed that in the past, models also used to eat toilet paper to increase their sense of fullness, showing that the pursuit of extreme thinness and quality aesthetics still exists in the modeling industry. In addition, in 2010, a French magazine published an article about the "Air Weight Loss Method". It is said that singer Madonna has also used this method, which is to bring food in front of you and smell it to get satisfaction without actually eating it.

In addition, the report also proposed several weight loss methods popular among Western actresses, including Hollywood actors and popular female models, who all have their own unique tricks to maintain their figure:

1. Grapefruit essential oil: Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, which is also helpful for protecting the health of the immune system. It is said that the fragrance also has the effect of suppressing appetite. Jennifer Lopez carries a bottle of grapefruit essential oil with her every day and smells it when she wants to eat, which helps control her appetite and lose weight.

2. Baby food: They believe that baby food has the most natural and balanced nutrition, so they eat about 14 servings of baby food a day, totaling about 1,000 calories. Jennifer Aniston has also tried this method.

3. Cauliflower soup: The soup includes cauliflower, onion, green pepper, tomato, carrot, celery, chicken broth and multivitamin juice. Drink this soup all day long. If you are thirsty, you can drink cranberry juice or black coffee. This is a short-term weight loss diet. You can lose weight by drinking it in seven days. American actress Sarah Michelle is a fan.

4. Coconut oil: In addition to being used for hair and skin care, coconut oil can also be eaten. Miranda Kerr, who just became single again, once tried drinking 4 spoons of coconut oil a day (added to salad or green tea) to maintain her perfect figure.

【Tips】

Whether it's an exaggerated method like cotton balls or a seemingly harmless weight loss diet like broccoli soup, none of them have been studied or medically supported, and are not healthy ways to lose weight. Therefore, it is not recommended that ordinary people casually adopt these weight loss remedies. A balanced diet plus exercise is the regular way to lose weight.
