The dumbest diet you tried?



Recommended Posts

I laugh reading these... But how sad we truly tried...

White rice and banana diet. Nothing else...

One bowl diet. If it fit in the small bowl 3x a day....

Of course I was just a teenager w/5-10 lbs to lose.... I thought...

I actually am at that same weight at 60 and of course it is healthy and a good size...

If I knew then what I know now, I guess I wouldn't be me????

Wish I hadn't thought I "wasn't good enough". I was. Sigh

I have tried soooo many bad diets, but the cabbage diet was definitely one of my least proud moments. The run around the perimeter of the house between bites one was bad too. Basically you had 15 mins to eat then done or not you had to get up and run around the house before coming back to eat. I ended up shoveling and then puking every time. Didn't curb hunger at all. ????Also the Eat this not that diet. Instead of eating ice cream for example, you were suppose to see you could eat up to 24 low cal Popsicles for the same calories and fat. Somehow it turned into us eating an ungodly amount of Popsicles and still wanting ice cream when we normally would have had a little ice cream and been happy. nutrisystem was definitely bad though not the worst, sadly.

Since there aren't enough stupid diets already out there... I would make diets up. Of course I was about 8 and all I knew about nutrition were food groups.

I would make a list of foods I wasn't going to eat. For example- mushrooms, onions, applesauce, Peanut Butter and bacon. Now, the fact that I don't even LIKE some of those foods is telling. Even at 8, I thought weight loss was about not having things.

Same as everyone else. Done loads of fad diets. My worst was the HCG diet. Lost lots fast but after 3 months I couldn't continue on 500 calories a day. My hair was falling out and I put all my weight back on and more very soon after I stopped. With the amount of money I've wasted on diets I could have bought a house by now!!!!

I really hope my insurance approves my surgery! !!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
