Extreme Diets


Here in the UK, it's the start of London Fashion Week. It's that time where us normal folk get to see cutting edge fashion from the front line...as well as tales of the most extreme diets. The latest to reach our ears is the banana bag. Sounds like something out of a kid's TV show where someone gets gunked doesn't it? Actually it's worse.
The banana bag is an IV drip containing multi-vitamins so that you get the vital nutrients to keep you alive - minus the food. Even Zoolander didn't feature anything so completely mad.
Originally designed as IV drips for undernourished alcoholic patients, it gets it's name from the distinctive yellow colour of the multivitamin. You couldn't make it up.
