Jared Leto's weird weight loss regimen

Jared Leto's Weird Weight Gain/Loss Regime"
Jared Leto gorged on melted Haagen Dazs ice cream laced with olive oil and soy sauce to bulk up to play John Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman in new movie Chapter 27. The actor ballooned on the diet and stunned castmates including Lindsay Lohan with his massive weight gain.

He says, "(I did it) eating everything you think you're not supposed to - pizza, pasta, ice cream, but my little trick was I would take pints of chocolate Haagen Dazs and put them in the microwave and drink them. The sick thing is I would actually pour olive oil and soy sauce into the mixture as well - to get me bloated even more."

Leto embarked on an equally bizarre seven-week diet to lose the weight he piled on. He explains, "I've been fasting ever since. I've been doing this very strange, like, lemon and cayenne pepper and water fast. I didn't eat any food for 10 days straight; I think I lost 20 pounds that first 10 days."

Yeah, so not eating for 10 days will crash your metabolism into the ground and the next time you even LOOK at a cracker you'll pork back up.

Brilliant.

If a woman did that she'd be called anorexic or stupid. (Which it is)

Who the hell would stop eating for 10 days? He must have been going crazy with hunger, I know I do after not eating for about 3 hours

I can understand you'd want to lose the weight as quickly as possible, but there are safer ways to do it than that. Very silly.

People have been going on fasts for centuries without these results. He went on a 10 day fast not a 10 month one. He is not Oprah.

After not eating for a day or two you stop being hungry. Nature has been kind to us that way.

Not eating for 10 days will crash your metabolism into the ground. Your body goes into survival mode.

That's why diets don't work unless you exercise.

It's scientific fact.

Really? I didn't know that. Shows how long I go without food

Tip - Don't post that on any teenage girl forums, we'll have an (even bigger) anorexic epidemic

But not all diets consist of not eating.

What about a balanced diet? Fruit and veg, meat etc. Of course you need to exercise to build muscle and lose weight more safely, but surely a balanced diet works over time without needing much exercise. It's quicker if you exercise obviously, but you probably understand what I'm getting at.

Unfortunately, I know FROM my bouts with eating disorders in my youth. Also I had a friend who was on that Oprah-fast type diet in school and she said if you don't cheat you don't get hungry after a few days.

Well Im talking about the damned lemon cayenne thingy..

I am sure Mr. Movie Star has a trainer. Our bodies are genetically programmed to go through periods of fast and famine. Starving for 10 days is NOT going to change your genetic set point (the weight your body tries to return to) for weight. Yo-yo dieting for years will change it, but 10 days will not. It's scientific fact!

He is now doing a modified fast, as we can infer from his comment that he only went the first 10 days without food.

I know from my bouts of eating disorders as a youth..and I once went 17 days without food...and I was damn hungry the whole time. Stopped and actually ate something after I passed out in the shower. There may be some temporary loss of appetite or hunger pains but that is certainly temporary or shortlived, and may not happen at all. And this guy fasted for 10 days, but his diet regimen(one can only wonder what the other 5 and a half weeks were like) was 7 weeks long. Plenty of time to fuck up the metabolism some.
