Spill it...What are some of the most ridiculous diet tips and solutions you've ever rcvd?

• Tape worm in pill form! A freakin' parasite! That's your "Honey, you have such a pretty face" advice? Rather than suggesting something like going for a walk together...you'd rather see me with a Tape Worm thriving in my intestines!!? Don't worry I'll reciprocate the kind advice... "Yes, this coffee does taste funny. It's a special blend and is even more delicious followed by an insecticidale chaser."

Enjoy..."come again!"

I was doing a weight loss program at a chicago hospital. I was following a 1200kcal diet but had only lost 2 pounds in a week. The doctor had bigger expectations so he told me "Just don't eat! You have got to stop eating. You will see your weight drop if you just stop eating"

Ok, maybe he ment 'don't overeat' but the way he phrased it, I was PISSED and wrote a complaint.

I did not sign up for that kind of treatment.

Other than that, I have been told not to eat for 3 days to shrink my stomach, drink lots of vinegar, smoke, etc. Just ridiculus stuff. None of it healthy.

I was told that if I did a 600 cal diet and took water pills I would lose weight. Then there is the grapefruit diet, it is eating 1/2 a grapefruit before each meal, the acid helps to speed digestion. The rice diet, you eat 1 cup of rice for each meal for a week, then you eat 1 cup rice and 1/4 cup veggies for a week, then 1 cup rice, 1/4 furit for breakfast 1/4 cup veggies for lunch and 4 oz chicken for dinner. So you are eating 3 cups of rice a day, how many carbs would that be???? For the first 2 weeks you are eating zero protien, and a major medical school wrote this book. It's the Duke Rice Diet. ~Mandy

My favorite is: "Can't you just eat less and exercise more?"

DUH! If that worked I wouldn't need the band!!!
