Tapeworms have been and is being utilized by some (brave or foolish, you decide) people.
As of thir parasitic nature, they get nutrition from you and you would possibly be able to slim down by supporting a lot of these.
Tapeworms may in animals cause drastic weight loss and in the end, the host dies.
We humans are part of the animal kingdom, so I have no reason to believe they would increase your weight as in actual body mass.
It is not something one should consider a miracle diet though. Unwanted complications may arise, although these may be rare.

Can you buy tape worms for weight loss in a pill?
No. Tapeworms are considered a disease, and not available for normal use.In any case, tapeworms do NOT necessarily cause weight loss. In fact, many tapeworms cause weight GAIN, rather than loss. This is because a tapeworm does not "eat" the same thing a human does - it only absorbs certain things from a person's diet. In most cases, a tapeworm absorbs only a small amount of the protein and carbohydrates that a human consumes; rather, it will tend to "eat" many of the critical nutrients that such foods contain (such a important minerals and vitamins). You will most likely end up malnourished from lack of proper foods, not starved for calories (which is what would cause weight loss). So, having a tapeworm inside you is a REALLY STUPID idea for weight loss - it's much more likely to make you sick than let you lose weight.
