Avoid these "diets"



I’m sure you have heard of  fad diets or quick fix diets, but they are the last thing your body needs. Not all calories were created equal. Some of the “diets” are down right dangerous. Here are 3 diets you should avoid like the plague.


The Air Diet

This French diet, aka“L’Air Fooding” got a lot of press because of celebrity endorsement. Basically all the celebrities did was hold food up to their mouths, but they didn’t eat the food. Instead, they would cook it, prepare it, serve it and hold it up to their mouths then put it back down. I think this one is so stupid that it totally deserves to be the first on this list. Do you agree?


The Cookie Diet

This one sounds like it would be fun until you learn about what it is exactly. Dr. Sanford Siegel created this diet consisting of homemade cookies with hunger suppressant like bran, rice, oats and whole wheat flour. Yet they don’t contain the nutrients that the human body needs. This was designed by a doctor? A real doctor or just someone who calls himself a doctor? I can’t imagine anyone claiming to be a doc promoting this terrible idea. Oh and hardly anyone lost any weight on this diet.


The Candy Diet
I’ve got a sweet tooth. Have you noticed? This “diet” centered around Ayds, an appetite suppressant candy (where did that name come from anyway?). It was all the rage in the 70s and 80s but once the AIDS crisis hit in the early 80s, the diet candy lost its luster. Ayds is now off the market for good reason. Its primary ingredient, phenylpropanolamine (PPA), has the potential to cause strokes in women. Ummm no, thanks anyway!
