Dawn is an entertaining host for this kind of documentary. She decided to drop 25 pounds in 8 weeks and put on those Size Zero dresses.
It is an interesting look to the darker side of quick weight loss as well as the weight-loss and fashion industries. However, I had one problem with the film - I don't know if I can trust it.
What I was missing was the information on her Body Fat Percentage from the first medical checkup. You can see them measuring it using the caliper method but somehow she forgot to mention the result. About halfway through the film she has her Body Fat % measured again and it's 29.5%. That's after losing 10 pounds.
That means that at the beginning she had to be at around 35% body fat, which is in the obese territory. Sounds like a minor thing but throughout the show she keeps raving about how she was in a *perfect* shape to begin with and it simply isn't true.
Makes me wonder how much spin she put in the other claims...
