Want to lose weight? Fad diets come and go. Many fad diets, like the Grapefruit Diet, come into and out of fashion more often than the hula hoop.
Here’s a great list of the silliest fad diets ever.
The Master Cleanse
In the 1940s, nutrition guru Stanley Burroughs created the Master Cleanse, a fast during which the dieter subsists solely on a mixture of cayenne pepper, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, maple syrup and water. The Master Cleanse is still popular today, especially among anorexics and aspiring anorexics, despite the fact that most nutritionists and doctors say that "detoxing" is a nonsensical and potentially harmful idea.
You wouldn’t fall for the claims of fad diets, would you? Here’s a healthy diet you can follow safely and lose weight.
