Film to document as women get skinny

Now that we've seen "Super Size Me," its was only a matter of time before there was "Super-Skinny Me: The Race to Size Zero."

The documentary, which follows women volunteers as they drop to super-skinny sizes, will be shown on British television early next year, the Associated Press reported.

Britain's Channel 4 is slated to show the film in which a group of female journalists film their attempts to drop to a size 2, equivalent to a U.S. size 00.

But make no mistake, this is no invitation to get skinny.

"This documentary will highlight the dangers of aiming for a super-skinny look, and expose the serious health risks of extreme weight-loss methods, all of which are already in the public domain," said a Channel 4 spokesman.

The channel said it hoped the findings would provoke the same type of debate as Morgan Spurlock's documentary film "Super Size Me," which showed the health effects of a month long binge on fast food.

To successfully lose weight, you must carry out
a plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise.
Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionally
balanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity.
