    When I was a teenager I tried the Kelloggs diet, 2 bowls of cereal then a main meal a day.
    Now I use a food scale I realised my portion of cereal must have been around 3 times larger lol

    Lmao any diet I've ever tried. I'm like this looks like a serving. Like 3 servings actually lmao

    What's the most ridiculous diet you've ever tried or what's the most ridiculous diet thing you've ever bought?

    I paid over 300 dollars for a month of diet shakes and pills. I didn't know calories were the root of all weight loss!

    I've done more than my share.

    The cabbage soup/fat burning soup/Dolly Parton diet.....it was all the rage in the early 80's (keeps coming back with different names though).

    Diet pills from a diet doctor. REALLY STUPID.....I was 20 years old, I'm sure the pills were just amphetamines.

    Logging and learning......that's the way to go.

    I was a vegetarian for a month, just to see if I could do it. That was miserable.

    Becoming vegatarian was the worst 13 minutes of my life.

    I never really tried weird diets but my ex husband made up his own,
    he ate watermelon and French silk pie.
    That *kitten* lost 15lbs doing that for 2wks.

    After my first baby, I joined weight watchers. Counting my points, journaling everything, eating vegetables that I didn’t even like because they were “free”. My first week I lost a pound or two. Second week I did the same, my ex husband decided he was going to diet too. So he switched from drinking coke to Diet Coke. I lost another pound or two that week, he lost 11 *kitten* pounds.

    SO *kitten* irritating!

    In high school, during the Oprah liquid diet craze, I did a liquid diet. It was an awful shake, mixed with grape fruit juice, 27 pills a day, and all of this watery ice tea mix I wanted. I lost 30 pounds in like 6 weeks! The weird thing is, for the 1st two weeks, I lost nothing, and then I was down like 12 pounds all at once... scary.

    I was taking my PSATs and they wouldn't let me bring my shake in and I passed out during testing. Also... certain bodily functions just .... stopped.... I had nothing to poop out! This a road I will never go down again.

    Fortunately, I never really had any issues with my weight until I was in my 30s. MFP was my first real go at losing weight. In my early 30s my wife wanted to do South Beach but I only made it about a week on phase I because I like beer and I felt like I was starving with only lean meats and veg and no starches or grains.

    I guess it's not really crazy, but it seemed crazy to me.

    Back when I didn't know any better I bought one of those neoprene wraps that you velcro around your midsection to help "sweat away fat." Fortunately I didn't spend too much on it, but totally useless. I never sweated more around my midsection or lost any extra fat.

    When I was about 19 I tried the military diet for a day and bought some diet pills from an infomercial. I tried Atkins for a day also. To hell with diets. Now when people ask if I am on a diet or what diet plan I'm using I say I'm not on a diet I am currently eating at a calorie deficit to lose weight.

    Oh, I also tried using those portion control containers. That was the most confusing thing ever. I couldn't do that for more than 2 weeks. I did use the nutrition plan from insanity and that was actually really helpful. I lost tons of weight but I just stopped after a few months.
