50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson III, underwent a strict 9-week diet and successfully lost 54 pounds from his body to play the role of a cancer patient in his upcoming movie Things Fall Apart. The diet consists of only pure fluids – known as liquid eating – plus a three-hour daily walk on the treadmill.
The exposure of his photos left people around the world in complete shock and disbelief. Some of them began to question whether such a quick but drastic diet was healthy and sensible.
dr However, Douglas Husbands, a nutritionist from California, explained to the press that this is an unhealthy type of diet for several reasons: it cannot be used for long-term dieting, it can lead to the loss of muscle tissue, and it does not remove toxins stored in fat . He claimed that a sensible weight loss program that lasts longer could definitely be safer. He also added that such methods used to capitalize on acting opportunities in the entertainment world could have dire consequences if not handled properly.
50 Cent claimed that he had started eating normally and should regain his weight in no time. dr Douglas also noted that gaining weight too quickly can be very dangerous. All in all, anything done in a split second will never do you any good. Some common people have also made remarks that such a diet is seriously insane and should not even be done by educated and obsequious professional trainers. Undoubtedly, 50 Cent is an enthusiast with no unattainable goals.
Marion Nestle, a professor of food studies at New York University, said the level of risk depends on how quickly and how much weight is lost. Most people can handle a few pounds, but rapid weight loss could be deadly. However, if the diet is carefully managed, they are unlikely to suffer from any health problems.
This absurd type of diet used by 50 Cent is just a fraction of what most celebrities do. Other famous stars like Victoria Beckham, the Kardashians sisters, Beyonce, Renee Zellweger and Tom Hanks have also been involved in diet plans, although some may not be as extreme as Curtis Jackson’s. The spread of the diet news could have a negative impact on the public, and experts advise ordinary people not to imitate the diet programs used by Hollywood stars.
