I just wondered what the stupidest way to lose weight you heard is, I was thinking about this today. The worst I heard is taking laxatives everyday!

Also heard about the starvation...but taking it a step further and freezing ice then chewing it for dinner!

    I read somewhere that you burn calories to keep warm so you could lose weight by just sitting in a cold store for several hours a day!!!

    I do not understand how people can even lead a normal life taking laxatives daily! Without being too TMI, that stuff means business!

    Stupid fads...I heard about the cabbage soup one and thought that was pretty revolting.

    the celery diet, eat only celery because it takes more calories to eat and burn then are in the celery itself!

    There are way too many to name and most of them are being practiced by some members of this site.

    Balanced diet and exercise... Oh, wait... that one works :)

    How about 500 calories a day and a pill?

    The baby food diet. That stuff's just not appetising. :/

    I know there are lots of negative things being said about hcg, but i just wanted to say that it worked for me and completely retrained my brain in regards to eating. The maintenance portion (for me) was a lot more important than the short term "diet" part.

    Otherwise, I agree-laxatives are crazy. how absolutely miserable!

    I tried the staple in the ear years ago. It was suppose to suppress my hunger by putting pressure on the nerve. My best friend told me that it messed me up because my eating has been out of control ever since.
