Feeling sluggish? In Phase 2, seven participants in the rapid group withdrew due to logistical issues, psychological stress, and other health-related issues; 4 participants in the gradual group withdrew for the same reasons, as well as pregnancy. 2 participants from the rapid group developed cancer. All but 6 participants regained weight (5 in rapid group, 1 in gradual group) and were put on a 400-500 kcal deficit diet. There was no significant difference in mean weight regain of the rapid and gradual participants. By week 144 of phase 2, average weight regain in the gradual group was 10.4 kg (95% confidence interval CI 8.4-12.4; 71.2% of lost weight regained, CI 58.1-84.3) and 10.3 kg in rapid weight loss participants (95% CI 8.5-12.1; 70.5% of lost weight regained, CI 57.8-83.2). This result did not change significantly in the intention to treat analysis where dropouts were assumed to return to baseline.
Boiled Alive by Internet Slimming Pills" was the delicate headline the British tabloid The Daily Mail slapped on a report of the death of 23-year-old Sarah Houston in 2013. Houston was the first of three young women in the UK to die as a result of buying DNP-laced weight-loss drugs online—all of whom had struggled with some form of eating disorder before their gruesome deaths. Interpol last year issued a global alert following the UK deaths, a near-fatal case in France, and a drug seizure in Australia, and a total of some 60 deaths worldwide.
