Just for the fun of it......

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!

YEP

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.....

I'm intrigued, what is the cauliflower diet?

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 tried the cabbage diet for a day or two and decided no.

i dont know about the craziest but the stupidest (and come to find out later) dangerous was something saw on the old sally jesse rapheal talk show.....the ex lax diet.......eat what you want, take ex lax to get rid of it.........

nough said on how stupid/crazy that WAS

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.

I did a watermelon diet once and I did a only eat if it swims or flys. I did phen phen diet. The watermelon diet it yeah not so good my partner and I did it at the same time. So glad we had two bathrooms. Never again. ;-)
