5. 3 Day Hot Dog Diet
I'm not entirely sure why they call it the "hot dog diet" because the only time you really eat hot dogs is on the 2nd day of lunch. Otherwise, you eat regular diet foods like cottage cheese, tuna, fruit, vegetables, and black coffee or tea for 3 days. Correction, you are recommended ½ cup of vanilla ice cream every night. I think they added 2 hot dogs to the second night menu to call it the hot dog diet.
4. Magnetic diet
The basis of this diet is to understand which foods attract health or disease to the body. Contaminant magnetism supposedly attracts disease to the body and includes refined sugar, cholesterol, and white flour. A revitalizing magnet includes fruits, whole grains, vegetables, lean meats, and foods that contain antioxidants. In addition to just eating revitalizing magnetic foods, the diet advocates meditating and reprogramming the mind to engage in healthier habits. Um, to me that sounds like a new age, catchy name for what we already know—eat a balanced diet, cut back on sugar, reduce stress, and train your brain to replace bad habits with healthy choices.
3. Blood type diet
Dr. Created by Peter D'Adamo, ND, you basically eat or avoid foods based on your blood type and that should help you lose weight. For example, this diet specifies that people with type B blood should avoid corn, wheat, lentils, tomatoes, chicken, peanuts, and sesame seeds, and should eat goat, lamb, venison, eggs, green vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. However, the Mayo Clinic doesn't think much of this diet, and they say that "eating or avoiding certain foods based on your blood type is not thought to have any positive effects on weight or health," and they don't think this diet plan is likely to meet your nutritional needs. Yet another diet that ends up leaving you malnourished and very tired if you're a blood type B person who has to go out and hunt and shoot all your food.
2. Air diet
The Institute for Psychoactive Research's Air Diet doesn't require you to avoid any foods or change your existing diet or exercise habits—you just breathe. Hmmm. How novel. Instead of focusing on what you eat or how much you eat, you focus on breathing. The idea is that if you breathe rhythmically, then you breathe in more air. The more air you breathe, the more weight you lose. The best part is that you can do it anytime, anywhere - while driving, lying in bed, working, walking, having sex, etc. I don't know about you, but I'm sure I'm breathing when I do all of this. No matter what. NEXT!
1. Tapeworm diet
It has to be the most disgusting diet ever devised, and there is evidence that "tapeworm diet pills" were sold in the 1900s and 1920s. Basically, you take beef tapeworm eggs (beef tapeworm is the best choice) and after you've lost the desired weight, you take medication to kill the tapeworm. It doesn't take a genius to know that this diet is both ineffective and harmful. You are not changing your eating habits on this "diet" so once the worm is gone all the weight will come back and it is extremely unhealthy for a parasite living in your body to suck up all the nutrients.
