KEN diet. stick a IV thru your nose down to your stomach.........yah no thanks
http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-Diet-Controlled-Starvation-with-the-Ketogenic-Enteral-Nutrition-Diet-256945.shtml
In the UK, it's pushed by one of the most reputed gastroenterologists at the NHS Homerton University Hospital in London, Dr. Ray Shidrawi, who believes it could hold the key for the obesity epidemic, the Daily Mail informs.
The KEN is made of 10-day cycles, alternated with 10 days of healthy eating under a specialist's counseling.
During one such KEN cycle, dieters wear a pump at all times, which pushes a patented formula straight into their stomach, through a tube that goes in the nostril and down to the stomach.
They are only allowed to disconnect the pump for one hour a day, to bathe. They are not supposed to eat anything while on the formula, but they may drink water or sugarless tea and coffee.
The formula sends the body into controlled starvation mode, in which it burns its own fat to survive. Muscle mass and organs are not affected in any way, it is being said.
Dr. Shidrawi says the diet is both accessible and easy to stick with, because the formula also makes the feeling of hunger go away within 48 hours. This way, dieters will only have to face cravings, which are strictly forbidden.
“First, you don’t feel hungry. Second, your body starts to burn fat stores at a huge rate. When the diet is administered steadily over 24 hours, the body remains in a fat-burning mode,” he explains in an interview with the Mail.
“The heavier you are, the more weight you lose, so patients shed, on average, between four to nine per cent of total body weight in ten days,” he adds.
What's even better, energy levels will still be up, the only side effect of KEN being severe constipation, brought on by the complete absence of fibers.
To counter that, laxative drugs are prescribed.
KEN is, of course, criticized for being too drastic a fad to actually have results in the long run. It doesn't encourage a healthy lifestyle and it certainly doesn't address the issues that, in many cases, lead to overeating – namely, the dieters' relationship with food.
Dr. Shidrawi though, says that the diet is safe and, as he puts it in not so many words, considerably much better than no diet at all.
“Early humans all lived on a ketogenic (fat burning) diet of meat and fat. Of course, we couldn’t put someone on a diet like this for weeks on end, but for ten days it is safe and improves health,” he says.
“If diets worked, if healthy food worked, we wouldn’t have obesity. People try and fail, so what do we do, look at obesity and just let that happen? I will not do that,” he concludes.0 -

It's not the craziest but I think the cabbage soup diet is ridiculous as is HCG0

The 2/4/6/8 diet. You eat 200 calories one day, 400 the next, etc and go back down from 800 to 600 to 400, etc. I think that's crazy.0

Cotton ball diet. You actually eat cotton balls instead of food.0

Don't forget the tape worm diet!
Oh and I tried the up day down day diet. Where you eat 500cals one day and maintenance the next and keep doing that. Yes it worked but I like food to much and its awful if you have a social life!0 -
I was always fond of Billy Bob and Angelina's "Orange Diet" where they would only eat orange foods.0

Wouldn't that block them up?
I can't believe I'm admitting to know that this exists, but there is a diet that involves mostly mashed bananas and the reason for it is that it makes your feces safe to ingest and certain kink clubs (in certain countries) have their female performs on it. Things I learned in Anthropology 101 that I bet you didn't have to read about!0 -

Yeah...that one didn't work for me at all...0 -
The HCG diet- what a crock of ****.
Yeah, you lose a pound a day, the HCG actually suppress appetite....and it turns you (me) into a crazy insane hormonal B.
Oh yeah, and you better not workout!
If you slip and eat a cracker, don't freak about the six pound gain. Just do an apple day the next day.

What if you combined some of the diets above... The tapeworm diet where all you eat is cottonballs soaked in HCG! I think this is a winning idea guys!0 -

I always crack up at the "cleanse" or "Hollywood" diets. They usually follow the same formula with a few variations.
1 gallon of water
2 tablespoons of syrup
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Squeeze a lemon for the juice
Drink it instead of eating.
It's bascially starving yourself.0 -
My exwife had a brilliant one. She would chew the food, then spit it out. No joke.....0

This behavior really irritates me, no disrespect to those with eating disorders. To think of the children who live on a slice of bread twice a week.,,0 -

I could handle the "orange diet" especially if cheetos and doritos are involved.0 -

I'm thinking it was a plate with tiny spoons, if you want to full story send me some whiskey and I'll PM you.0 -
my mpf's and i created one this morning. it started out as the dog butt diet . . . it's a natural appetite suppressant where as you lick a dogs butt every time you feel hungry. Then we realized that if it's the right dog it could be the dog butt plus intenstinal worm diet, compound that with hcg and some diet pills and you definitely have a winning combination.0
