Woman Eats 50 Rats to Lose 14 Kg: A Shocking Diet Trend

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): A woman from Southeast Asia has gone viral after claiming she lost 14 kilograms by following an extremely bizarre diet, eating 50 cooked rats over a span of several weeks. Her surprising experiment has sparked shock, curiosity, and debate across the internet.

The woman, who struggled with weight issues for years, said she turned to traditional rural beliefs that consuming rodents increases internal heat, boosts metabolism, and helps burn stubborn fat. She prepared the rats by boiling or grilling them, ensuring they were fully cooked to avoid infections. According to her, the unusual diet gave her a sudden burst of energy and reduced her appetite drastically.

Medical experts, however, strongly advise against such practices, warning that rodents can carry dangerous parasites and diseases. Nutritionists called her weight loss a result of severe calorie restriction rather than any special “rat diet effect.”

Despite the criticism, the woman stands by her experience, stating that the diet was “life-changing,” though she does not recommend it to others. Videos showing her cooking the rodents received millions of views, sparking debates on unconventional diets, cultural food habits, and the lengths people go for weight loss.

The incident has opened discussions about the dangers of unverified diet trends, especially those amplified by social media without scientific backing.
