Tapeworms are the kind of worms that grow in a human stomach. The symptoms of having tapeworms are nausea, weakness, diarrhea and weight loss these can be treated.
Tapeworms basically get their energy from their host, gaining the nutrients people/animals get from food. They tend to make people lose weight due to the fact that they are leeching off all the nutrients you can get from food, which is why people/animals with tapeworms become thin, and lose weight.

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.
