Is it just me or is this a bizarre method to lose weight? I taught wt. loss years ago and I have never heard of this method!! I find this just horrible and not safe. I think it is extreme. I don't know, maybe it just reminds me of the Terry Schivo case and how sad that was/is..
Something is wrong with this. Of course the Dr. does not think so as he is just a cash COW.

Brides-to-be looking to shed that final 10, 15 or 20 pounds in order to fit into their dream wedding gown have taken a controversial approach to crash dieting that involves inserting a feeding tube into their noses for up to 10 days for a quick fix to rapid weight loss.
The K-E diet, which boasts promises of shedding 20 pounds in 10 days, is an increasingly popular alternative to ordinary calorie-counting programs. The program has dieters inserting a feeding tube into their nose that runs to the stomach. They're fed a constant slow drip of protein and fat, mixed with water, which contains zero carbohydrates and totals 800 calories a day. Body fat is burned off through a process called ketosis, which leaves muscle intact, Dr. Oliver Di Pietro of Bay Harbor Islands, Fla., said.
