OK! Magazine Recycles 2003 Photo For Britney's Weight Loss Cover

This week's OK! Magazine cover features a photograph of Britney Spears with the headline, "Britney Lost 15 Lbs in Just 4 Weeks!" and a subhead, "Back to her old body with the miracle food that sheds weight fast."

Back to her old body, indeed. The image OK! uses to show Britney's transformation is actually from a 2003 photo shoot for Glamour's Women of the Year issue.

With rave reviews of her guest spot on "How I Met Your Mother," Britney does actually show signs of a comeback and a return to her old star self. But unfortunately, OK!'s cover photo choice paints an unrealistic picture of her comeback, which is a work in progress — and shows that the only way to "Steal Brit's New Diet Secret," as the cover screams, is to go back over 4 years in time.

"What a joke. It's impossible to lose 15 pounds of fat in 28 days."

Try watching the show the biggest loser, they have lost 100 pounds in 3 months. They lose 5-10 pounds on a weekly basis.

What a joke. It's impossible to lose 15 pounds of fat in 28 days. One pound of fat consists of about 3500 calories worth of energy. If your body burned 2000 calories per day, you would have to eat a maximum of 125 calories per day in order to lose 15lbs. I'd like to see anyone try that and not end up sick or hospitalized.

Well, not true. If you go on the extreme low carb diet and do moderate exercise you can lose at least 1lb a day, I usually do that diet after the holiday season when I put on 10-15 lbs and I lose at least 1lb a day with no problems.
