I have tried lots but I think the nastiest most ridiculous diet that I tried was the Cabbage soup one, sure I lost the weight because after a couple of days I would rather not eat at all than have to taste the soup!!! Of course when I started eating normally not only I gained the weight but some more... :laugh:

    Back when I was in my 20s I did the Rotation Diet but only rotated the first calorie days ... 600 + 900 calories plus I biked back and forth to work and for hours afterward.
    I dropped about 30 pounds in 4 weeks. People told me I looked sick.
    I was.
    I lost my gallbladder soon after.

    Worst dieting mistake ever.

    ok I have to agree and say the cabbage soup diet was pritty wacko but then so was the grapefruit diet and the egg diet. Took me a while to get over the after taste on both of those!!!lol

    I did the green bean diet. 2 weeks of nothing but green beans. You can eat as many as you want, but nothing else. Lost 8 lbs. Probably because by day 3, I didn't want to see another #$@%*&% green bean.

    The cabbage soup diet has been my favorite! I sometimes still incorporate the soup into my day every once in a while!
    I think that lemonade/detox diet thing was the worst for me. I was always starving and the cayenne pepper in that "lemonade" was harsh!

    Oh, and starvation, aha.

    Then I went through a stage where I would only eat a jacket potato with cheese a day when I got bored of the chocolatey cereal :laugh:

    I haven't done it but I think that the faddiest diet was on shown on ITV television the other week. It was the Maple Syrup diet where for 7 days you just drank water with Maple syrup in it and I think paprika!
