(PCM) Eating cotton balls is the newest weight loss trend and it is certainly just as disturbing as it sounds. It can also lead to some incredibly dangerous health risks and lead to some potentially life threatening conditions.
Although cotton balls may seem like the ideal diet food, meaning that they are made up of natural cotton, contain calories and fiber, as well as take up a lot of space, however one needs to realize that the cotton balls have absolutely zero vitamins or minerals and who knows exactly what it could be doing to your digestive track. What if the cotton comes unraveled or bunches up? You could end up with a very serious health issue on your hands.
Many individuals who are using this diet method are soaking the cotton balls in either gelatin or orange juice prior to consumption or just eating them dry. Either way, it just sounds disgusting. The thought behind the diet is that the cotton balls, which do contain calories, as well as, take up space will fill you up so that you will not want to eat anything else.
I do not think there will be too many great success stories with the cotton ball diet plan and here’s to hoping that this disturbing weight-loss trend disappears quite soon.
