History's weirdest fad diets

While it is both humorous and not for the faint of heart, it is a good reminder that while consistent behaviors with a focus on healthy habits may be boring to some, the alternative is never a good idea.

Happy Healthy New Year to all the Healthy peeps!

Loved reading this article Kelt.
It's amazing what people will do to their bodies in hopes to lose weight.
i know i have put my body through hell over the years myself with purging, binges and fad diets in desperation to lose weight.

i laugh when i tell people that i even tried something called the hot dog diet years & years ago. i kid you not. Aside from the fact hot dogs gross me out and aren't considered food for me - i heard that someone lost weight merely eating ONLY hot dogs for every meal & that's all i needed to hear, my brain was convincing me that hot dogs were exactly what was going to bring me weight loss.

i was desperate enough to try it for 2 weeks straight.. One hot dog for breakfast, lunch & dinner. There was never success with any of my many, many fad diets & desperate weight loss attempts over the years. But the very fact i even convinced myself that if i forced myself to eat a hot dog a day it would bring me amazing weight loss.

ick.
ps, damn thankful no one suggested tapeworm to me back then, or any of these.
