The Freezing Method

A local dancer says her secret to staying slim was a combination of exercise three times a day and a "ballet girl's old secret":

"It's really simple. Just sit in a bathtub with ice and water. The frigidness will burn up your natural fat to keep warm. At this time, you're actually shrinking. You have to sit there for 10 to 15 minutes and it will seem like a lifetime but it works."

The Hypothermia Diet: lose weight while your vital signs fade.

Given the increasing numbers of women desperate to lose weight, even when they don't need to, it won't be long before some skinny maiden turns up dead in the tub.

The upside is the corpse won't smell too bad when the ambulance crew arrives to haul it away.

"Many people think that you lose weight by sweating," she continues, "but you'll just gain it all back."

What a depressing and defeatist attitude. True, it will come back, but only if they continue filling their faces with fried foods, stuffed-crust pizza and mooncake.

Torturing themselves in ice water will make sense to some women, but no man I know would be willing to try it.

Freezing water shrinks more than fat.
