Colin Farrell: Unhealthiest diet ever?
Celebrities slimming down for a film is nothing new, but one would hope they'd do it in the healthiest way possible -- after all, yo-yoing weight is unhealthy enough as it is. Hunky Irish actor Colin Farrell recently slimmed down dramatically for his role in the upcoming film Triage. How did he do it? Here's what he ate each day according to FitCeleb:
- Two cans of tuna
- Black coffee
- Diet Coke
That's it. That's about a net caloric intake of 300 calories a day. No wonder he lost 44 pounds. Though Farrell previously said his weight loss was healthy, he's changed his tune -- he now admits that his weight loss was not 'healthy' or 'advisable.' No kidding, huh? He has since gained it back: "I just ate like a pig,'" the actor says.
This is probably the least healthy way to slim down, don't you think?

Yeah, this is pretty much as unhealthy as you could possibly get! And completely unnecessary. With careful planning and an understanding of nutrition, you could conceivably devise a meal plan that will help you lose those 44 pounds, although other than preparing for the movies THE MACHINIST or TRIAGE, why in the world would you want to?
All the Best,

Colin is my future baby's daddy so I don't appreciate the negativity. Anyway, who cares as long as it was cruelty free tuna and Fair Trade coffee?

This makes me question the ethics of such roles. In most places, it's at least considered unethical (and sometimes downright illegal) to pay a healthy person to endanger their own health, even if it's for scientific research that might end up saving many lives in the future. But, it seems to be considered OK for people to do this just so the population can be entertained!?
We have such strangely inconsistent morals.

I don't know about the healthy part, but it sounds like the guy has a good bit of will power to be able to eat tuna fish and diet coke long enough to lose 44 lbs.
While I'm not a big movie person, I'll watch Triage just to see how he did.
