Strangest Diets

What are some of the strangest diets that you have seen most recently? Is there anything that has particularly stood out to you?

I remember hearing about a chocolate diet about a month ago, but I really can't remember what exactly it was comprised of. It did make me wonder what it would be like to be on an all chocolate diet though.

I'm not a real big fan of chocolate so a chocolate wouldn't work so well for me. I actually think the whole carb free thing is just not realistic. Carbs are a very important part of any diet. You just have to learn not to overdo.

I think that the no carb diets are pretty ridiculous myself. I remember my mom going through the Atkins phase, and I was trying to get her to stop because it's just completely unhealthy to cut out an entire food group from your diet.

The strangest diet that I ever tried was one that you had to eat plane tuna fish. It was so bad, and did not stay on it long.

I think diets that rely on tea are strange because the reasoning behind them is so iffy.

I would have to go with the fasting type diets. I also agree with the Atkins diet not being a healthy one.

I think this way, too... carbs are important, fats (to a certain degree) are important, too.. any fad diet that cuts something out usually ends up being in the news eventually for *not* being so great for us after all.

I think all you have to do is look at the Google Ads at the top of this page to be introduced to some pretty strange diets!!

Chocklate really works great for me.

The Sleeping Beauty diet:
The principle behind this diet is: ?if you aren?t awake, you aren?t eating?. The Sleeping Beauty Diet, a regime that allows the dieter to literally sleep off the pounds while under heavy sedation for several days. Elvis was reportedly a fan of that one, right about the time when he was having a little trouble squeezing into those trademark white jump suits
