QOD

Hey there, I am back from a wonderful weekend in D.C. for my nephews wedding. It was so much easier to travel with some weight gone This question was posted on the Texas board a few weeks ago...but as we were up at 3.45am this morning to head to the airport, my brain can't think of another one right now What is the worst/stangest diet you have ever tried, and aren't you glad you will never have to do that again? Jackie

Hi Jackie, Glad you're back. I actually just heard of this diet last week so it is not one that I have tried (although I might as well, as much of this as I have eaten recently!!) Jolly Time has posted on their website a popcorn diet!! Supposedly you snack on their healthy popcorn and therefore do not snack on worse foods, thus losing weight!! Lisa G

I think that is one I might try I wonder what popcorn tastes like sprinkled with whey protein powder????????????

Herbal Life, it was shakes popular in the 80's, you also had to take a lot of suppliments too. well i was 16 yrs old. and desprite to loose weight. I spent $60 to get everything to get started. The suppliments were like horse pills and I had a hard time swallowing them. So I had a great idea, I thought it would be easier to get them down if I just pureed them with my shake. Needless to say, it didn't stay down long. That was the last time I tried that! Michelle

oh boy....hmmm never really did anything crazy your phen fen, low fat, low carb, carb addicts (with 1 splurge meal) 1 I refuse to try is the Cabbage Soup diet...that stuff looks sooo gross! or any other kind of eat this 1 food diet....ewww I must have variety! I tried various types of weight loss pills prescription and non-prescription. but never went crazy or overboard...they usually made my heart race and I would feel weird--and that was the end of that drug! can't be good for your heart. pretty boring diets for me!

Welcome back Jackie! I am back from having my IVC filter removed! UGH! (I've been under anesthesia today so if I don't make sense, please understand) Anyway, I think one of the worst Ideas that I had for dieting was when my brother wanted to go to a hypnotist, he paid for both of us as he didnt want to go alone. The guy talked in such a low monotone voice that my brother and I could hardly contain our laughter. We walked out of there bursting out laughing! Another is when I was about 15 I did a drug study for weight loss. It was testing an antidepressant saying that it caused weight loss. Turns out years later I found out it was prozac and we all know prozac is still not prescribed as a weight loss drug. Lost 15 pounds, turned out I got one of the highest dosages. Too bad it didn't work permanently! Have a great day! Tracy

I forgot to put my answer.... Definintely the cabbage soup diet.... the bathroom and I became very good friends
