A Decade In Bad Dieting
ThatsFit.com has a slideshow of the Worst Diets of the Decade and, honestly, some of these diets are downright laughable. Here are a few that made us go huh??:
Tongue Patch Diet: “The desire to lose weight pushes people to try just about anything, including a surgically-implanted tongue patch that makes eating not only unpleasant but painful. The patch stays on for about a month, promising you can drop 15 to 30 pounds.”
Cabbage Soup Diet: “While seven days of only cabbage soup will probably help you lose a few pounds, they’re sure to come back as soon as you get back to your regular diet. And since that much cabbage is known to cause a lot of gas, it’s one diet you definitely want to skip.”
Master Cleanse: “It’s not so much a diet as a starvation plan, swapping food for a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper mixed with water.”
Cookie Diet: “Stars such as Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson have reportedly tried one of the most popular incarnations, Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet. While small meals all day long can be part of a sensible diet, eating a single food for calorie control is almost never a sustainable path to weight loss.”
Have you ever done anything over-the-top to lose weight?

Some people are so desperate for a quick way to slim down that they resort to ridiculous–and dangerous–measures. Whether it’s Beyonce going on a liquid diet to drop weight for a movie or your best friend completely swearing off carbs before prom, fad diets are extreme and unhealthy.
