Crazy Fad Diets? Crazy BAD Diets.

It seems that there is no limit to what people will try in an attempt to lose weight, and lose it quickly.  While it is medically proven that the best and safest way to maintain a healthy weight is to eat a sensible and balanced diet with regular exercise, there are a ton of "get-slim-quick" fad diets that seem to draw the attention of many, even though upon examining them further, they are primarily based on some kind of starvation or deprivation.  I wanted you to share in my amusement, so I have pulled together my Top 10 list of CRAZY FAD DIETS.

 The Baby Food Diet: Replacing 1 to 2 meals with baby food and thus consuming less than 600 calories/day.
 

The Cabbage Soup Diet: Consumption of the popularized "cabbage soup" for 7 days.  Weight loss generally attributed to water loss.

The Coconut Diet:  Coconut oil is said to boost metabolism, but gee wiz, it's full of saturated fat!  C'mon now.

The Cookie Diet: Replace 2 meals a day with 2 cookies each and consume 800 calories or less.  (Give me a break!)

The Facial Skin Analysis Diet:  A special diet is prescribed based on the texture of your skin, hair and eye texture.  (What happens if you're bald?   You don't get to eat?)

The Grapefruit Diet: The old Hollywood diet is based on eating 1/2 a grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice before each meal and consuming a dangerously low calorie diet of 800 calories or less.

The Juice Diet: Replace 2 meals per day with liquid, and have a sold meal in between.  Mmmm...scrumptious!

The Purple Food Diet:  Self-explanatory.  Eat foods that are purple like eggplant, plums, blueberries, blackberries, uh.....yep, that's it.

The Tapeworm Diet:  (saved the best for last) It's as disgusting as it sounds. Ingest this parasitic creature, and it lives off the food you consume.

If you've ever tried any of these diets, we won't hold it against you.  For real weight loss tools to help you achieve real results, check us out at www.weightmanagementblvd.com
