If moderation is the key to success in life, its amazing how Christian Bale continues to succeed in the absence of any moderation at all, particularly when it comes to his weight.

The 35-year-old Batman star who lost more than sixty pounds for his role in "The Machinist" only to quickly beef up for "Batman Begins" is back to his yo-yo dieting for yet another demanding film role.

In order to play a drugged-out former boxer in a forthcoming movie entitled "The Fighter," the handsome British actor has had to forcibly waste away to a mere shadow of his former healthy-looking self.

His gaunt appearance, while vital to his role, has may fans concerned about the long-term consequences born of substantial episodes of weight gain and weight loss. What worries everyone especially is the way in which Bale undertakes weight-loss. By his own admission, Bale has a history of dropping pounds by "barely sleeping" and eating only coffee and apples.

Pictured here outside the set of filming in Boston, Bale certainly looks less than healthy. But, knowing the actor's past, his future will likely include more pizza and ice-cream binges to regain his bulk for the next action film.

Please don't try this at home.
