Top Five Most Ridiculous Diets
Dr. Siegal’s® Cookie Diet™
This one is Cookie Monster approved. So if you want to look like a cookie monster, this is the diet for you. The idea is that you can add 1 cookie as a meal substitute or as a additional meal to your diet. The cookies apparently taste pretty good.
The Pros:
Fiber increases which promote good health and digestion. Your appetite may feel more satisfied as well.
The Cons:
Over-indulgence. We all know the cookie monster is real, however he will not always show up to steal your cookies. So, beware of eating too many of these, which will make you fat. This diet probably won't add enough protein to your daily intake, which is needed to preserve very important fat burning muscle tissue.
The Subway Diet
Did Gerad really lose all that weight eating Subway and nothing but Subway? What subs did he actually eat? Did he have the meatball sub three time a day? The idea is that you eat 3 subs a day in replace of all your regular food intake.
The Pros:
Yes, subway tastes pretty good. You get to put in as much veggies as you want in your sub, which is a good source of fiber and some important vitamins and phyto-nutrients.
The Cons:
The bread and dressings spike your insulin. That would be ok, if you load your sub with tons of veggies, as the fiber could slow down the digestion process, which slows down the absorption, but you would really need to load your sub with veggies, which makes no room from meats. The meats on the other hand are processed. All the foods, excluding the veggies are loaded with salt.
How was Gerrad's blood pressure on this diet? I think it was over normal range.
The Lucky Charms Diet
I have to admit, that I did the cereal diet myself a long time ago. I polished off Costco jumbo box of Lucky Charms, in one morning. I did this everyday to bulk up and it worked!
The Pros:
The little green leprechaun may lead to a pot of gold if you stay on the diet, for at least 1 week.
The insulin spike is fine, right after a hard workout, but can you eat just one bowl? I think not.
The Cons:
You won't find the gold, by eating a bowl or the whole box. You will find that most people will put on fat, by eating high GL foods like Lucky Charms. Quick source of energy and no where to use it, makes you an unlucky fat guy real fast.
As I keep writing this post, I'm just going to get right to the point.
Cabbage Soup Diet
Pros: High in fiber and water.
Cons: This is almost like fasting. Your PH levels stay neutral at best. You should only stay on this diet for 5-7 days.
Slim Fast
Pros: Quick and Easy, Substitute a slim fast for a meal
Cons: Digestion problems, when you return to a normal whole food diet
