Reading the news today I came across one of the latest diet fads to hit the market. Every new method I read or hear about seems crazier than the last but this one just about takes the cake. Eating through a nasal tube! This idea may seem pretty extreme and a little gross but many brides to be are trying this 'crash diet' method to lose 5-10 kg before their big day. Women follow this 'diet' for about 10 days in which they consume a mere 800 calories per day, less than half of what most people should eat in a day!
Basically its just another stupid starvation diet that does more damage than good in the long run. In a world where time is short and people don't have the time or can't be bothered to live a healthy lifestyle these sorts of weight loss methods continue to emerge, each one seeming more ridiculous and more unhealthy than the last.
Have you heard
of these?
The Cabbage Soup diet - Eating nothing but cabbage soup for seven days
Grapefruit diet or Hollywood diet - A high protein, low carb diet that incorporates half a grapefruit with every meal eaten. It is claimed that grapefruit has a fat burning enzyme that will burn calories in high fibre foods. This diet is taken in 12 day intervals, with 2 days off in between.
The Blood Type Diet - This diet claims that according to a person's blood type they need to eat different foods. The evidence behind this is very limited
And finally.... The Lemon Juice diet or Master Cleanse. With this diet no food is allowed to be consumed just herbal tea and lemon water. With a diet like this of course you're gonna lose some weight! Its pure starvation!! Click on the link below to watch Current Affairs expose on this infamous diet used by many Hollywood stars.
