Lots of mothers are concerned when their teenage daughters start to worry about their figure. Unfortunately, most girls opt to follow either a fad diet or result to starving themselves, sometimes even to death. In their quest to be like the rail-thin models and celebrities of today.

BBC America made a documentary about a radical experiment that guarantees to "drop 5 dress sizes in in just 5 weeks." Two normal-sized British journalists took part in the experiment to understand the reason why women go through such extremes, such as risking your life to attain the supermodel-like thin.

The documentary airs this Sunday at 10 pm on BBC America.
