Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept within a locked class 3 fireproof safe. The safe is to be kept within a locked, lightproof room within Wing D of Site 76. Following Incident XXXX-█, SCP-XXXX is be wrapped in a spider wrap style alarm device, to prevent accidental opening. Keys to the safe are to reside in the security office of Site 76, and are not to be removed without approval from Dr. Best and one Level 4 personnel.

In the event that SCP-XXXX is opened unintentionally, or without approval from Dr. Best and one Level 4 personnel, Class A amnestics are to be administered to all personnel who were located inside the room SCP-XXXX was opened, as well as all personnel located in any rooms and hallways adjacent to the room in which SCP-XXXX was opened. Any security personnel sent to return SCP-XXXX following an unauthorized opening are to be administered Class A amnestics immediately following the return of SCP-XXXX to its safe.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a soft cover book measuring 7.5" x 9.25". The front cover of SCP-XXXX reads "Perfect Body: Achieve your perfect look in only 4 weeks!", with a monochrome image of an unidentified caucasian bodybuilder behind the title text. The bottom of the front cover lists ██████ ████████ - ██ as the author, although Foundation efforts to find the author have failed. The rear cover of the book has no text, instead being a monochrome image of a dark skinned female bodybuilder.

SCP-XXXX appears to be a standard nutritional self-help book, and while the book is closed, appears to have no anomalous effects. However, upon opening SCP-XXXX, the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX manifest on its pages. No matter what page SCP-XXXX is opened to, the reader will view a page which describes a 3 meal-per-day diet plan, which promises to bring readers to their desired weight, height, and physique within 28 days. Meals typically consist of matter which would typically be considered to be inedible by humans, and lists 3 separate "meals" to be eaten every day. Although the objects listed in SCP-XXXX are typically impossible to chew, ingest, or swallow by normal humans, subjects who have read SCP-XXXX will drink and consume their prescribed "meals" with no more difficulty than eating standard food. Subjects who are under the effects of SCP-XXXX will feel a compulsive desire to eat their suggested meals, and will decline any food or substance not listed in their version of the "meal plan". If subjects affected by SCP-XXXX are restricted from eating their meals, they will become irrationally irate and combative, and will continue to be aggressive and violent until they are permitted to eat their meals. If subjects are not given any meals from SCP-XXXX within 7 days of their last meal (Whether a standard meal consumed prior to reading SCP-XXXX, or a meal from SCP-XXXX), they will typically die from malnourishment. If the meal plan prescribed by SCP-XXXX is followed, subjects will see massive transformations in strength, physique, cardiovascular capability, and height, which are unachievable by non-anomalous diets and fitness programs.

Following completion of SCP-XXXX's meal plan, subjects no longer feel a compulsive desire to continue with their meal prescribed by SCP-XXXX, although they will still be able to eat their meals without relative difficulty. So long as subjects continue to regularly exercise and eat a balanced diet, their physique will not change significantly. Subjects can still lose strength and physique if diet and exercise are ignored, although their new height will remain the same.

Upon opening of SCP-XXXX, all subjects who have a direct line of sight of the book will immediately be drawn to the book, and will stop to read the pages of SCP-XXXX for approximately 30 seconds before removing their gaze from the book. Following this "reading period", subjects will step back from the book, and will retain full mental cognition, with the exception of a desire to begin their "meal plan". If administered within a sufficient amount of time, amnestics appear to clear the effects of SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX was discovered after a MTF Iota-10 agent redirected a complaint submitted to [REDACTED] Police Department. The complaint described a tall, muscular man who resided within a local recycling center. The man lived inside a makeshift hut outside of the recycling center, and refused to cooperate when asked to leave by recycling center employees. When employees attempted to force the man to leave, the man lifted a 300lb employee over his head, and threw him a distance of approximately 45 feet, causing a severe concussion, internal injuries, and 3 limbs fractured in multiple locations. Four MTF Iota-10 agents were sent to investigate, disguised as local police officers. The agents incapacitated the man by use of [REDACTED], and the subject was transferred to Site ██ for interrogation. Upon interrogation, the man revealed the existence of SCP-XXXX, and revealed that his "meal plan" consisted of 300g of 6061 Aluminium, 1.5l of used 5W-30 motor oil, and one 16 inch winter tire. The four MTF Iota-10 agents retrieved SCP-XXXX without incident, and the man was [REDACTED] following administration of Class █ amnestics.
