the experiment. She was able to fit into the dress by the end, but she hated the dress and wanted to get out of it because of what she and her friends and family had been through because of her experiment. At the end of the documentary, she threw out the dress, and went out with her friends to eat. To return to a healthy weight, Redknapp when on a supervised re-eating programme after the documentary was complete. Experiment During the diet, which Redknapp maintained for 30 days, she survived on less than 800 calories per day, eating a low carb diet of oats or omelettes for breakfast, berries (but not after 11:00 AM), fish and green vegetables for lunch and supper, and water, and every day she ran three miles and lifted weights for one hour. She briefly attempted to use a fat burning suit, but was too sick from her dieting to be able to try the suit. She became increasingly ill over the course of making the documentary. Results Over the course of the 30 days, Redknapp lost 11 lb (5 kg), went from a UK size 8 (USA size 4) to a UK size 4 (USA size 0), went down two cup sizes, and her BMI dropped from a healthy 19.4 to an underweight 17.6. She began struggling with day-to-day functions, becoming short tempered and irritable, started having memory problems, started having trouble sleeping, lost her libido, and found her life being controlled by her eating. She appeared gaunt, had developed poor skin colour and dry skin, and had little energy. She said that the experience had been very hard on her family, left her a wreck, and she would never do it again. Medically, there were other concerns. Her estrogen levels dropped to levels seen in post-menopausal women, increasing her risk of osteoporosis and impacting her fertility. She lost 5 lb of muscle, reducing her metabolic rate, putting her at risk of developing increased body fat and yo-yo dieting if not careful. Her doctor felt that her body could recover, but if she were to prolong her diet and exercise regime, she would make herself very unwell. Controversy Redknapp's documentary was not without controversy, and was attacked not long after being released. On pro-anorexia and pro-bulimia forums, people praised her for the food information and dieting tips, calling her an inspiration and a hero. There
