My sister and I tried the cabbage soup diet once, many years ago. It seems OK at first. There's this soup you make that is actually quite tasty, and you can have as much of that as you want. The first day you can eat as much veggies as you want (except potatoes) and the soup. The second day you can eat all the fruit that you want and the soup. Third day is 3 bananas, and the soup. My memory is hazy, but you get the picture. I think it was either day 3 or day 4, I had spent an hour on the bus coming home from work, feeling miserable and completely obsessed with eating ANYTHING but that soup (which we both despised at this point), and I step into our apartment and there's my sister with the peanut butter jar out. She looked at me and said defiantly 'I'm out!' So we both bailed on it, and never finished the soup that was still in the fridge!

Just out of curiousity Mrs Bee why does it say you posted this 3/5/05?  LOL

 I've never been on a diet to lose weight but to gain...just as horrible it was ensure, breakfast, ensure, lunch, ensure dinner.  If you ever had ensure it has this god awful aftertaste.  Plus I'm not a big meat eater, so there was a lot of peanut butter and eggs.

I finally realized I'm just eating healthy and screw 95lbs is under weight for 5'4''.  (I'm 108 now - thanks to weight training and being in the most wonderful relationship ever )

Lol, fontgoddess my mom did the cabbage soup diet a few years ago and she was miserable! 

 My worst was when I was in graduate school.  I had TERRIBLE migraines and wondered if they were food related.  So I did an elimination diet which meant: No meat (I don't eat it anyway), no dairy, no wheat, no corn, no peanuts, no sugar, no alcohol, no soy products.  So I basically lived off of rice and fresh fruits and veggies.  I lost a lot of weight really fast and I was constantly hungry- ugh!  When I went off of that diet I just stuffed my face for weeks, I swear! 

Two words: master cleanse.

Made me vomit to drink the liquid on day 1, so it was over before it began, really. 

I used to be on a total holistic diet- the whole Nourishing Traditions deal! My goal for a "diet" wasn't to lose weight, it was to be healthier- but my body couldn't handle the amount of fat in the diet. I'm a vegetarian, and introducing meat like what they suggest wreaked havoc. Raw milk has too much fat for me also, the cooking included way too much butter that I couldn't handle, and coconut oil is just too heavy! I am INFINITELY happiery and healthier and more energized as a straight vegetarian consuming only small amounts of olive oil and nut fats. It works well for some people, it just didn't work out for me!

This wasn't a diet per se, but when I was 16, my best friend bet me that I couldn't go two weeks eating ONLY Special K Cereal.  Never one to pass up a dare, I took her up on it.  I guess I was too young and stupid to know better.  Anyway, by about the 4th day, I was sluggish, miserable, and always hungry no matter how much cereal I ate.  There really isn't a whole lot of nutrition in the plain Special K cereal, so I was suffering.  Before the first week was up, my mom intervened and said I could only keep doing the dare if I drank Ensure at meal times and fruit juice.  That actually helped a lot, so I was able to win our stupid little bet.  :-)

Master Cleanse. I made it 6 days with drinking that nasty lemonade and then I couldn't take it anymore. I thought it tasted good when I first started but then it just started to taste horrible. After the 6 days I drank water and peppermint tea for the next 4.

I lost a good amount of weight and kept it off forever, tried to do the cleanse again, took one sip and then ate a cheeseburger. Yuck.

I came up with my own cleanse diet a little while ago in which I "ate clean" and mostly vegan for 2-3 days.  It turns out that it is actually possible to eat too many fruits and veggies - I wasn't getting enough complex carbs and I wound up almost passing out on a run. 

I'm such a failure with diets. They are all awful. My least healthiest was three months of eating one roll saltines and gatorade watered down 50% each day. Oh and two spoonfulls of Ben and Jerry's each night. I was thin, but not healthy.

Over the last three years I've slowly gained about 25 pounds. My goal is to loose it before my wedding. I'm pretty happy with my weight/looks now, but I'd really like to slim back down at least until *after* I have kids. The big thing for me is being active and sticking with an excercise/meal plan. I too loose it on weekends a lot because we go to FH's parents and they have bad snacks in the house and make us way too much food.

My goal is to try to use the "eat this, not that" guide to help me make better choices at the store without striking foods from my diet. Then I'm going to use the 30 day shred, no more trouble zones and running to tone up and get back into shape. Hopefully that will help me fit into my dress like a rock star.

I did the corn flakes cereal diet.  I lost weight, because I was STARVING.  It was only after I went to a friend's party and ate an entire cheese platter that I realized maybe I should start eating more real food :D

The one I'm on now, where I eat massive amounts of meat, cheese, and fats... this one sucks. I'm a lardas* on this one!
