Some people will do anything to lose weight, even if it means defying common sense and nutrition. But just because your best friend's cousin lost 20 pounds by drinking hot-peppered lemonade doesn't mean you should do the same. These 25 diets are not only ridiculous, they're ineffective and even dangerous.

So true. Diets don't work. Eating healthy, exercising...properly, getting plenty of sleep, and drinking drinking plenty of ice cold water would do the trick faster than any diet.

I loathe fad diets! Why can't people accept that the only REAL way to lose weight effectively is to eat less and move more. Sigh.

Here is just a small sample of stupid diets. Diets are so wrong. Lifestyle changes rather than temporary "diets" is the key to long term weight loss.

Interesting. The most naturally ways to diet is to exercise couple with healthy eating and living habits. It is one on-going process and takes a lot of determination. Personally for myself, I do jogging about 3 times a week and I control the kind of food that I put into my mouth (of cos, I do enjoy my fair bit of ice-cream, chocolate etc) and I cut down on tidbits. A few article which I read before that may be good for a reading: http://wisdomnet.blogspot.com/2008/02/3-powerful-weight-loss-tips.html, http://wisdomnet.blogspot.com/2007/12/10-tips-to-lose-weight.html, http://wisdomnet.blogspot.com/2007/05/enough-with-unnatural-weight-loss.html and http://wisdomnet.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-loose-weight-safe-way-by-steve.html

The only thing I sort of disagree with here is the apple cider vinegar. It shouldn't be used for the purpose of just diet, but it actually helps with a lot of health issues. For me, I take apple cider vinegar b/c it a) helps my insomnia, and b) helps with my potassium deficiency.
