The crazy things we do...

I was thinking of some of the silly things I have done to try and lose a few pounds quickly:

The soup/cereal/Slimfast diet
The apple diet
The grapefruit diet
The fruit/vegetable only diet

But the silliest one of all had to be the Danish diet. I ate things I'd never normally dream of eating, like boiled celery for a meal?? And plain yogurt with some ham for lunch, grated carrots for breakfast, and one day water for lunch! That diet lasted 13 days!! Yeah I lost an impressive amount of weight, but it didn't all stay off and I was so hungry I could have chewed off my arm!  I know these things aren't healthy and aren't permananent, yet I tried them anyways. I know what works for me, and that's exercise. But it's hard to turn down something that promises "quick" even if I do know better!

So what is the craziest diet plan you've tried?

This is so funny because my freshman year in college I tried a crazy diet.  I actually LOL when I think about it.  It was the "lose 10 pounds in 48 hours" liquid diet.  My best friend and I at the time thought we would give it a try.  I guess I thought that if it would really work, I'd be willing to go through hell for 2 days.  Me being so stupid didn't realize that it would only be water weight if I did lose any.  So, we went to GNC and bought the crazy, overpriced liquid that we were supposed to drink.  It really just tasted like apple juice. 

I got through the first day and then that night I couldn't even lift my head off of the pillow I was so tired at about 8PM.  We decided not to go through with it because we were so fatigued we just started laughing and busted out the closest thing to eat - Saltine crackers.  I've never had such good crackers in my life.
