Twinkie Diet
Burn more calories than you eat, no matter what that might be. Bad news for junk food junkies, though. The lack of nutrition in this diet makes it a lousy idea for your overall health.
Ear Stapling
A surgical staple is placed in the bowl of your ear. Some people say it decreases their appetite and helps them lose weight. It may cause infection and change the shape of your ear so it is not safe to follow it.
Cotton Ball Diet
The idea is to dip few cottons into your drink and then it will take space into your stomach but it is not safe as choking, intestinal blockages, and eating harmful chemicals, to name a few.
HCG Diet
This combines severe calorie cuts with a drug mainly used to help women get pregnant: human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Studies show it doesn’t help you lose weight, and it can have side effects. It might make you feel super tired, grumpy, restless, or depressed. It lead to fluid accumulation and blood clots and strict calories restriction is not good for weight loss.
Apple Cider Vinegar Diet
Some people sip a bit before meals to curb appetite but apple cider vinegar affect blood pressure and insulin medications and may lead to hypoglycemia or hypokalemia are also concerns with long-term use or when used with some prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Plus, all that acid can be bad for your throat.
Cigarette Diet
The idea of this diet is that smoking prevents snacking is with us to this day. Whether that’s true is unclear. What is clear is that smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.
Tapeworm Diet
There are people who swallow a tapeworm to lose weight. An adult worm can live up to 30 years in your body. It stays alive by stealing nutrients from your food. Its eggs can cause cysts and infections. Just say no.
Caffeine Diet
Coffee curb appetite and burn calories but not to the degree of losing weight. Moreover , high doses of caffeine can boost your blood pressure, make you sick to your stomach, and keep you up all night. Some caffeinated beverages like sodas are high in calories and fat so avoid this diet.
The Baby Food Diet
People have one-two jars of baby food and one big adult meal. Most jars have less than 100 calories and don’t contain enough of the nutrients adults need. So you’re likely to be hungry a lot. The result will be overeating.
The Cabbage Soup Diet
Eating soup for two-three times daily along with few food options like fruit or beef the result wil be caloric intake less than 1000 calories. Starvation mode will not help your body to lose weight.
The Raw Food Diet
Safety issues could be a problem as eating raw food only can harm your health. People who eat exclusively raw end up with low levels of important nutrients like vitamin B-12. It’s also hard to get the calories your body needs. You may lose weight at first. But you’re likely to feel less than your best.
The Cookie Diet
Under this diet, you’d eat nine 60-calorie cookies and one 500- to 700-calorie meal a day. It may help you slim down in the short term. It is poor quality diet when you are not getting enough vitamins, minerals and calories too. The result will be less energy to exercise and do regular actiities.
