"The L.A. Diet" (or: "Putting The 'Die' In Diet")

(WARNING: POTENTIAL ANA "TRIGGER"!) :: O.K., if I told you who cut this video? Bet you guys wouldn't believe me. Shit is DARK. :: What was intended as dark comedy ended up...well... :: Know this...1) No, anorexia isn't "cool." 2) Yes, I inhaled that entire effing can. My friend who shot the footage turned off the "auto-focus" option for whatever artsy-fartsy reason -- NOT to blur footage so that I could "cheat." As a result, I passed it off to someone else to edit. 3) Please don't ask if this is auto-biographical, and/or to what degree. Take the message for what it is: "It's all fun and games until..."

holy shit plz dont die =(

It's cool; it's cool. .. (Thanks very much for the sentiment, though.) What I intended as dark humor with a social commentary turned out to be light on the humor end of the spectrum. Said another way? I'm typing this reply without a single can of whipped cream/creme in my fridge. Promise!

I think people should be able to know that one can't actually live off of pure whipped cream and soda .__. And that if that really was ALL you were eating for sometime, you mightn't have the energy to write that description

[clintcatalyst]

Agreed. I *hope* people are able to gather as much... after all, the clip ends with the little detail about, oh, DEATH resulting!

Fortunately, the majority of responses I've received thus far are from people who gather as much:

It's a dark commentary on Hollywood "beauty" standards/"quick fix"/success stories... hence the tags "cautionary tale" and "warning."

Under no circumstances do I intend for anyone to use this "formula" as a literal How-To guide!

The point is the opposite, actually...

[clintcatalyst]

Did you have your wisdom teeth taken out before you made this video ?, I am asking because, your having spry food in video, which us humans are able to have when we get our wisdom teeth out..

[s3ne]

an easier way to produce a sense of euphoria with those redi-whip cans is to just do whippits (inhale the propellent stuff from the cans... 0 calories)

yeah, that's bad

[NCISLUVAxx]

lol funny stuff :D

[Alcy]

Yeah...dark is right.

Although, this did make me crave some whipped creme...and whatever the fuck else, OK I'm hungry D:

[TheWildAssCopyCat]

OMG !!! Clint you R just so

freaking strange sometimes

^..^

[nicnaknoc]

I found this funny - I´ll so switch the carrots for whipped cream - sounds sexier also

[samuelrex888]

ty soo much i was worred =)

[MoombaJess]

Diet and non fat foods probably contain aspartame and that will kill you so I would advise if dont ever do that again :P lol

I don't exactly share your opinion. I've suffered from anorexia myself, I'm out of rehab for 9 months and it's still a battle. Believe me: very rarely it's "just for the beauty". I've always called an eating disorder a symptom. There are usually serious social and psychological problems that are the cause. Everyone at rehab had serious issues going on. As for myself: I struggle with my past and was seeking for some stability. Control. That's the reason. "Beauty" is just a lie of motivation.
