Yet another frightening new diet has been unleashed on desperate brides to be in the USA: the gruesome K-E diet. 800 calories worth of liquid is pumped via a tube through the nose into the blushing bride’s shrinking stomach so that before her big day, she will stand the chance of losing a whopping 10-20 pounds. Forget Martine McCutcheon and her 4 month plan to get into a healthy sized wedding dress before the day approaches; this is the ultimate quick fix with a 10 day guarantee but comes at a price - $1500.00.
Certain doctors in the States sing its praises, stating that it is designed to burn fat rather than muscle and the feeling of hunger will be absent for the entire 10 day period. Others say that the nasal tube is merely a gimmick and that restricting the diet to 800 calories will cause drastic weight loss in anyone who is used to more than the recommended amount. The diet is rich in protein and contains no carbohydrates, hence the fat burning results (the body will normally convert sugars into energy rather than fat as this is an easier process.)
One of the side effects of this extreme diet is foul smelling breath so the bride might be well advised to stay away from the groom for the duration of the diet, otherwise her big day might be cancelled.
