    worst has to be the month the doctor convinced me to go on orlistat, side effects were horrendous.

    they then switched me to another tablet that made me stupidly hungry and was then withdrawn because it led to suicidal tendancys in many patients

    The Master Cleanse. My husband used to stare in awe as I gagged down the salt water flushes. :s

    30 bananas a day....who here was stupid enough to believe Freelee? *raises hand*

    There were others, including various pills and potions, but those stand out.

    Smart for Life Cookie Diet - Eat Cookies, Lose Weight‎ - The worst by far.Horrible little cookies. Smart for life what a joke cause if that's my life just shoot me now. Way worse than Slimfast.
    Don't hate me but I still like cabbage soup but fixed up way better with chicken, like chicken cabbage soup, instead of chicken noodle.

    Nothing tastes like Fluffy Mackerel Pudding.

    And, let us all be grateful for that.
