What's the craziest diet you've tried?

I'm sure lots of us have tried crazy diets (fad or otherwise), and I'd like to hear your personal stories.

Baby food diet made your tummy hurt? Passed out on the Master Cleanse? Grapefruit diet gave you acne?

Whatever your crazy diet story... tell it here!

What, nobody has any crazy stories? Shucks. I was really hoping somebody had tried the Cookie Diet.

Master Cleanse. Ugh, I looked worse when I finished than when I started. Plus, drinking a liter of salt water isn't a good idea :drinker:

A trainer I worked with 13 years ago had me eating only chicken breasts and green grapes 4 times a day, for 10 days, plus a gallon of distilled water each day! Additionally, I was to do 45 minutes a day on the stair climber! He said if I ever got dizzy, I could have an orange... I lost 11 pounds, but man was I hungry!!!

Years ago i did the lemonade diet.
I lost 15 pounds in 8 days.
I couldnt take it through the ten days recommended and on the 8th day i ate like 5 cans of Progresso soups.

Lost 50Lbs in a month with tons of exercise.

There was this on time in band camp....

No really, I did a butterfinger diet once. Ate like 6 of them a day. And played 2 rounds of golf a day. I lost like 20 lbs, but I discovered after a while I only fealt good when eating the butter finger and for the 20 minutes after.

I also tried the Adkins diet, lost a ton of weight but again, I did not have enough energy to power the workouts; so not a fan.

I did a cabbage and beet diet many years ago. That was it all you could eat, and you were allowed juice. After a week of this I lost 10 lbs, but I was do dizzy and weak that I could not even function. Now that I'm thinking about it that couldn't have been more then a few hundred calories a day! Gained it all back plus more the next week

The cabbage soup diet. . Makes you shaky and weak. You burn more calories chewing the soup than you actually consume eating it. I did lose 10 lbs in one week but you are only supposed to do one week at a time.

popcorn and lemonade. that's ALL I ate. did not work, surprisingly. :huh:

MrsScheidt

HCG drops accompanied by 500 calories per day. BAD, BAD, BAD idea! Weak and grumpy and didn't even last a week!

DreamOfSunshine

Craziest one - eating everything you want between 16 and 17 o'clock and starving for t he rest. Horrible!! You're frustrated when you're hungry and sick full after 17 :noway:

For 8 weeks I was drinking 5 protein/multi-vitamin shakes and only eating 4 ounces of lean protein plus taking phentermine pills for a total of 800 cals per day. I lost about 40 lbs doing this but as soon as I stopped, the weight just kept piling on.
