Cosmopolitan Magazine's newest weight loss tip? Get cancer

Cosmopolitan Magazine is facing some severe backlash for tweeting about a weight loss success story that involved a cancer survivor.

The article profiled a 31-year-old Australian woman with the headline "How This Woman Lost 44 Pounds Without *ANY* Exercise."

It turns out, the woman lost the extra weight after she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, which included surgery to remove organs, multiple infections, a partial lung collapse and post-traumatic stress disorder from all of the stress.

The tweet has since been deleted after critics began tweeting the magazine for insensitivity.
