What was the craziest DIET you've ever been on?

When I was 13 (40 years ago), my mom brought me to some DOCTOR (AKA "Quack") that injected me with Pregnant Women's URINE, gave me a prescription for "what was "SPEED", and placed me on a 500 calorie a day DIET. I wonder what the long term repercussions of that diet would have done to my body..... YIKES!

I don't think I can top the pregnant women's urine, speed and 500 cal diet, lol!

But have done the cauliflower diet (never again, thank goodness, it played havoc with my insides) - so glad I won't have to do any of this ever again.....

It was literally eating cauliflower as the basis for lunch, dinner and Snacks raw. It's low carb, high in Vitamins (if you don't boil it to death) but the worlds most boring diet... How many variations of cauliflower can you think of??? But it wasn't a proper balanced diet...

Didn't last long, the flatulence was foul, ha ha ha !!!!!

I did one day of the lemon detox diet. That's all I lasted. I started throwing up at the smell of the stuff.

My mother did this to me, too! I did lose weight, that's for sure. Came right back on once I stopped. I remember the bruises on my hips that those shots gave me.

I have an aunt that has been doing this for as long as I can remember and she has had so many complications because of it and doctors have told her to stop and she won't. She looks like she literally rolled out of a coffin... She lives in California and looks sickly and still thinks she's fat.

I did the lemon juice, cayenne, and maple Syrup juice diet/cleanse. Dear Lord it was the most awful thing. My colon was cleansed I suppose but I did get to where I couldn't drink anymore. I gagged every time the cup came up to my mouth. Just because it worked for Beyoncé doesn't mean it works for everyone.

I did this too and you are right, the most offensive form of desperation to lose weight that I had ever tasted. I was supposed to do it for 21 days...more like 21 hours for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
