Deadly Weight Loss

My bestie swears by that "skinny is the new black" beauty vibe.

To shed those pounds, she's all-in on the keto craze, down to one meal a day.

One day, she hit the deck at the subway station, with low blood sugar. I hooked her up with a stick of sugarcane to tide her over.

That night, after discovering she'd gained a fraction of a pound, she freaked out and blamed it all on that 1600-cal sugarcane.

To get even, she sneaked a load of hormone pills into my birthday cake, aiming to puff me up.

But the plan backfired—overdosed on hormones, I ended up kicking the bucket in the ICU.
