My worst diet or meal plan was half a green salad a day for 2 months, giving me a total of 32 calories a day...needless to say, i wound up in hospital...

Anyone else have any horror stories?

    :flowerforyou: I would literally starve myself for days - until I would be light headed when waking. :ohwell:
  • The worst diet I ever did was back in the 80's and it was the egg and grapefruit diet - 3 hard boiled eggs and 3 grapefruit a day. I lasted 5 days before giving up and it took me months before I could face eggs or grapefruit again. I lost 10lbs doing this crazy diet and put it all back on within a week.:laugh:

    I did this in 2001. Did it for 6 months, totally screwed my metabolism up and it's taken me almost 8 years to get it back the way it should be. THANK YOU MFP! I ended up having to have my gall bladder out because of losing the weight so quickly. I never knew that could happen to people and after it happened to me I heard all kinds of stories.
