LaRhonda Darby, an overweight contestant for ABC’s upcoming reality show, Obese, was hospitalized over the weekend for being dehydrated, TMZ first reported. In a statement, the show’s company, 3Ball Productions said, “LaRhonda Darby experienced some mild dehydration as a result of medication prescribed for reasons unrelated to her weight loss, and sought medical attention where she received fluids and was released and able to resume her workouts and weight loss plan without issue. The show encourages participants to change their lives for the better in significant and responsible ways, there is no competition or cash prize incentive, and the health and well-being of our participants is our utmost concern. We’re very happy for LaRhonda’s success and look forward to continuing to work with her and document her remarkable journey.”
I’m guessing any medical problem she is dealing with stems from her morbid obesity. I love it when “dehydration” is cited as a reason for hospitalization. That’s like saying that Lindsay Lohan was hospitalized for “exhaustion”. It means nothing.
What?? Um, it pretty much means your body does not have enough water to function properly and they need to hook you up to an IV for a little while. It can be a very serious problem, though in this case it sounds like maybe they were just being cautious. Dehydration is not a meaningless diagnosis. I agree, though, that it probably *does* have to do with her body/weight loss/exercise activity right now, at least indirectly. My totally unsubstantiated guess is that perhaps she’s on blood pressure medication, which would be very likely in an obese person. Certain medications, especially some of the ones that get prescribed to women, are known to dehydrate you if you’re not careful about drinking enough water or staying out of too much direct sunlight. It can be a tricky thing for people to figure out when they first start a new exercise regimen. Then again, I’m sure there are medications for a variety of medical conditions that would also dehydrate you, so it’s very possible that it isn’t a blood pressure thing. Anyways, best of luck to this woman in her pursuit of a healthier body and lifestyle.
Thats exactly what the world needs…. another reality show about fat people trying to lose weight.
It was interesting to read.
A healthy diet combined with physical exercise is the best way to lose weight fast. If you want to achieve weight loss while preserving your health this is how you should do it, and I’m talking from my own experience. I have started with a detox diet and ended up wondering how to lose weight fast and be fit. I have found the answer: no miracle cure alone will do it, it all depends on new mindset: you have to change the way you think and live. Cheers!
In order to lose weight, we must eat less. That’s really all there is to it.
