Fad Diets

From fat-flushes to detoxes, diets range from strange to bizarre!

First, there's the Vinegar Diet. It's believed that consuming vinegar before a meal will help satisfy hunger cravings so that the individual will not consume as many calories.

Next, there's the Beverly Hills diet where you eat less then 800 calories a day and all you eat is prunes, berries, and potatoes. So, let's see, the protein is almost non-existing and you are barely eating... I think this is what they call anorexia!

Last, but only for this post's sake, is the Lemonade Diet where basically you don't eat for a couple weeks. All you have is specially made lemonade, saline washes (sea salt) and laxative tea. Well, no wonder you lose weight and possibly gain a trip to the hospital.

There are many fad diets out there that all claim to help lose weight. In all truths, the only way to lose weight the HEALTHY way is a change of lifestyle and exercise.
