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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
