THE TRUTH ABOUT SIZE ZERO

This documentary was aired yesterday (7/03/07) on ITV.
Louise Redknapp aims to uncover the truth about size zero and its awful affects and how unhealthy and emotionally destructive the trend is.
Currently a size 8, she aims to become a size 0 in 30 days.
Once having a consultation with a doctor she travels to Los Angeles - home of size 0 (desperate housewives) and Victoria , the documentary features photographs of celebs such as Teri HatcherBeckham who believe that being skinny is sexy and the road to success...
Once starting the diet, we see a change in her capability as she has become tired more easily and her energy levels are dropping dramatically.
Backstage at a fashion show, she gets models and designers view on eating disorders, who reveal that the clothes come in a certain size and it’s up to models to fit into them.
She also visited Rhodes Farm clinic to speak to a group of 12 – 16 year olds who are currently receiving treatment.
The documentary also features former spice girl Mel C, who suffered from an eating disorder during her years in the spotlight, and also claims that the media were partly to blame.
However when the time came closer to trying on the size 0 dress which was shipped from LA, she began to have doubts about whether she would become hooked as her body had got used to less and less food each day.
At the end of week 3 she had a 24 inch waist and was a UK size 6, but after her doctor’s firm warning to stop Louise was determined to uncover this awful trend.
By week 4 she travelled to LA to loose the extra pounds but her BMI had dropped to 17.6 and she became a size 0 – which could be classified as anorexic!!
After crash dieting for 30 days it then took Louise 2 months to recover from the ordeal.
Below is a clip from the interview Louise had with Mel C..
