Fad
Diets
We love that four letter word
– diet. Just
surf the net and there you have a long list of fad
diets to choose from. However, some just sound so funny
that
we can’t help but be amazed by the name and be intrigued by
how it works.
The Mono Food Diet
As the name suggests, the Mono Food Diet allows
the
dieter to eat only one food at each meal. However, you have to match
your food
intake with the kind of beverage you drink. For example, for starchy
foods,
like baked potatoes or rice, you have to take alkaline digestive juices
so your
body can break down the food well. For high-protein foods like fish or
meat,
acidic drinks like lemonade should be taken.
The Ice Cream Diet
I think no one will contest when I include this
in
my list of top ten crazy diets. Of course, we know that ice cream
contains lots
of sugar and all that unhealthy stuff. Well, you just have to eat ice
cream and
nothing but that. Some people are skeptical about it. you may still try
it if
you want.
The Caveman Diet
Also known as the Paleolithic Diet, this fad diet plan has grown popular
nowadays. As the name suggests, this obviously means that people under
this
diet plan are advised to return to the eating habits of the ancient men
who
once lived in caves. This means we have to forget that
McDonald’s is just a few
steps away across your house. But then, after some time you get a
feeling of
deprivation. But nevertheless, it sounds fun.
The Metabolism Diet
This only suggests that you follow a
low-calorie
diet by eating lots of healthy foods to give your metabolism a good
boost.
Lemonade diet
This only means that you have to stay away from
any
kind of solid food but lemonade. You are also not allowed to drink
plain water
alone. It has to be lemonade. Drink lemonade at least six glasses of it
daily.
For overweight people, lessen the sweetener in your lemonade. For
underweight
people, on the other hand, use more of the sweetener. Whenever you feel
hungry,
just take a glass of lemonade.
The Hollywood Diet
Another interesting fad
diet is this. If you are feeling like a famous celeb or a
model, then this is what you follow. Well, the diet plan is quite easy
to
understand and do. You just have to stick to it for two days and
consume a
special juice that is a mix of atioxidants, mineral, vitamins and other
essential oils. Dieters are not allowed to drink or smoke. This system
promises
to shed 10 pounds off your body mass in 48 hours.
