Cocaine and Weight Loss

Weight LossAug 17, 05

Cocaine is an illegal and dangerous drug - outlawed in most countries around the world. Many people speculate as to whether celebrities ever partake of the drug to induce rapid Weight Loss.

A story from New Zealand has revealed this very thing. A wealthy 51 yr-old property developer is a suspected drug dealer. He attempted to justify his actions by claiming that cocaine was helping him lose weight.

In explanation for his actions, the defendant stated that he had discovered taking cocaine in the evening suppressed his appetite and helped him lose weight,” the police summary said.

This may explain the success of Henderson’s slimming regime. Last winter, Henderson seized on the Atkins craze and lost at least 24kg.

During the stressful 2000 when he was building the $250 million Princes Wharf redevelopment, “Hendo” was a big lad.

But by last winter, the metamorphosis was spectacular.

He sported a new wardrobe and cut a much finer figure on the waterfront.

Come the summer, he appeared even leaner, as the diet regime continued apace and his face shape changed markedly.

Of course there are the side effects:

Doctors say cocaine acts as an appetite suppressant to such an extent that it can make users vulnerable to malnutrition. Long-term use can result in a range of mental health conditions from mild depression to the extremes of cocaine psychosis with symptoms similar to schizophrenia.

Like all stimulants, it can lead to heart problems

And you thought ephedra was bad.
