Hi all,
I saw this prog last night it was repeated on itv2.
I can see why Louise did it to outline the severe health problems to crash dieting but I have to say that I agree with most people on here she was 7 stone when she started so someone who is 7 stone wouldn’t need to crash diet they should have got someone who was bigger and un happy with their weight in the first place. I am 5 foot 5 inch’s and weigh 8 and a half stone, like all girls I feel I am fat and need to loose weight even though people tell me all the time how skinny I am I was hoping that watching the prog last night would make me want to stop hating my weight and accept I am normal but instead watching Louise, made me feel even fatter and I was comparing myself with her through out the prog and feeling fat as she was only 7 stone they should have got someone NORMAL to do this prog.

Do you not think Louise was targeted for the show as she is small already???? And the ‘experiment’ lasted 30days as she didnt have that much to lose?? if they had a more ‘normal’ sized woman who wasnt small it wouldve taken a lot longer to get to AMERICAN SIZE ZERO remember thats a UK SIZE 4 if she had to get to a uk size zero she wouldve had to lose at least 1 more stone it sounds more shoking to place the size in american terms

To the man that stated there wasnt anything mentioned about male eating disorders there was ment to be a show called ’starved’ which focused on 3 men and 1 woman who had eating disorders but they stopped it but its still on youtube

To the lady that thought the sizes are getting smaller in shops….. yes they really are! and most shops are actually sizeist and make the sizes intentionaly smaller to provoke you to lose weight and feel bad about yourselves but dont cause if we all looked like the models they have in the windows of shops we wouldnt be able to function as normal women! if we were all ment to be the same size we all would be the same size!

dont beat yourself up about it, be original and live your life and enjoy going out for dinner and pigging out once in a while, lifes for living not for stuffing your head down a toilet to throw up after every meal!

we can change the way the world works by choosing to ignore the skinny stick like ‘models’ and the magazines that make us feel bad about ourselves
JUST DONT BUY THEM!! them they will go away and leave us to live our normal lives without judging ourselves and crying over our diets- if you eat healthy you wont cry about it and you will be healthy

hi louise,just finished watching your size o programe on itv 3.You have got some guts to go through with that stupid diet and execise routin knowing it was doing your body no good but it was a eye opener for me to see the differance it made to your body sharpe and condition.I can not see how that fitness guy barry can justifier a training routine like that for some one who was obiversely already in what i would say was an ideal sharpe to go through in order to become dangerously close to a life or death situation.As for that photographer to say you looked better from behind the lence was just what every up and coming model and agent wanted to hear to justifer thier arguement for size 0.I,m gald to read you are back to your former self and really healthly again.I do hope you are going to use your new noledge to help more mis-guilded young models to fight the size 0 mentalty of modeling agency bosses.

I really thought that this program was great. I think it was a very good idea showing just what someone goes through when trying to be so small(too small). Bravo. I am going to have my daughter who is 16 years old watch this, I hope she too learns from your experience.

I was bought a sewing machine recently as a wedding present as for the last 4 or more years i have struggled to find clothes that fit. I tend to wear size 8 clothes from shops as even though the are a little big for my waist its the the only size i can fit my natural 32F breasts into to. My hips are a standard size 8.

However, the problems ive had with finding clothes to fit and generally looking good in any clothes has reduced my confidence to zero. I am 5′4″ and eat whatever i like but recently i have wondered why i dont look good. The simple fact is that even if i was a size zero id still look wrong in half the clothes out there because my proportions are so strange and the shops dont cater to my size. I wouold much rather wear a size 14 and alter it to fit my waist then look like a sack of potatoes in a bulging/sagging size 6 top!

I measured myself the other day to see how i fitted into the shops standard ’sizing’ chart. According to them im a size 18 chest, size 10 waist and a size 0 hips!! Which is infact crazy as my hips are the only part of me that IS normal on me and i know for a FACT theyre a size 8. It confused me so much i re-took my measurements and even explored the sizing guides from other shops- which were all different!! So how the hell can us women figure out what size we’re supposed to wear??? How the hell can we look good when half of us are in clothes too tight or too baggy??? Being size 0 would make no difference to how i’d look in clothes. Being 6 stone (as i have been before) just left me cold at the bus stop, moody and incredibly weak.

I dont think the problem is with wanting to be skinny, the problem is with not being able to find clothes that actually fit us and make us look sexy. Ignore sizing girls and just wear what fits. Then when you look in the mirror you wont have things pulling, tugging and squeezing fat allover the place (muffin top anyone?) When you wear something that fits you automatically look slimmer and more comfortable. Fact.
