Extreme Weight Loss is Explored in a Documentary Film
Jan 19, 2007
The Super Skinny Me movie on BBC America is a look into extreme weight loss. Dawn Porter, author of Diaries of an Internet Lover, is gaining attention again with her new documentary film titled, Super Skinny Me: The Race to Size Zero.
In it, the camera follows her as the 27 year old loses half of her body fat in the course of 2 months. She wants to highlight the dangers of the current trend of women starving themselves to death with eating disorders.
BBC3 will present the film in mid-February to overlap with London Fashion Week. Then BBC2 will screen it as part of the Body Image Season.
In the film, she worked with a team of Doctors, psychologists, nutritionists and a celebrity fitness instructor. This brought her from a size 12 to a BMI of 19.
