"Were neurotic, psychotic and exotic. But most of all we are real people, and who better to reach out to a real person (man or woman) than one who has been there and done that. Maybe being a pinup and gaining celebrity status was our destiny so that our story can reach others and let them know they are not alone.
If you feel alone and down: "put your hands in the air, step slowly away from the fork!"

"Your not alone!
We love you and want you to be healthy!"
Like so many others,
especially women and young girls, Shane and Sia Barbi struggled with life-and-death eating
disorders. Rather than letting the disorder consume them they
quickly turned around the negative to a positive by acquiring
degrees in nutrition, biochemistry, and kinesiology and setting out
to prove that you CAN recover and lead a healthier life than what an
eating disorder epidemic generally leads to. They
applied their new found knowledge to themselves and soon found new
health, and hope. They then made it a mission to pass this
hope on to others. |
The twins have always been outspoken and discussing their personal
knowledge on
health issues with others struggling with weight,
diet and health is no exception. They take every opportunity
they can to pass their information on to others from being spokeswomen at
lectures for universities nationwide, in the media (newspapers, magazines, radio,
and television), writing books, and (of course) the internet.
Learning new ways to maintain good
health can be difficult, boring and tedious, causing someone to quit and
leading to feelings of failure cycling into one obsession after another. The twins
feel that being healthy doesn't have to be any of the above. They attack the issues with their typical sense of humor, making parody of other
diets and diet books, and laughing at themselves...
"We were known as the “Calorically Challenged Clones.
We were so out of control, grocery clerks had to weigh us
going in and out of the stores"
