9. Eat Cotton Wool Or Toilet Roll
You really want to lose a shed-load of weight to achieve that gaunt, unhealthy look but can’t stand the pain of hunger pangs? A method which has become incredibly popular over the past decade or so has been the ‘cotton ball challenge’, which basically involves soaking cotton wool or toilet roll in water or juice and then eating it. The theory is that the body will be tricked into thinking it has had a full meal, so the dieter can get along with starving themselves without the pain that malnutrition brings. The reality is that the fibers of the wool are likely to collect in the intestine and either cause agonizing blockages, or make the stomach or intestinal tract burst, thus merrily littering your body and bloodstream with semi-digested food and feces.
