2. The tapeworm diet

This diet includes ingesting tapeworms in your intestine to not gain weight. 

This practically is self induced diarrhoea. Tape worms are those organisms that can breed in your intestine, which means they can also share the nutrition & fats of your food. There are certain pills which induce the growth of tapeworms in your body which makes you thin because of incomplete nutrition.
