Diet ideas are all over the internet (riasztó), some are quite commonsense -like eating healthy and doing a lot of exercise-, but we found some that are quite unnatural or sometimes even shocking. Here are the weirdest weight loss programs.
10. Cabbage soup diet
You guessed it right. This diet is all about the cabbage soup. You lose 10 pounds – guaranteed. You will never wish yourself cabbage soup again – also guranteed.
9. Tea Diet
Do you like tea? Would you drink tea all day, and nothing else? What if you were not allowed to eat, either? This weight loss program also makes your body get rid of toxins, and after one week you will feel energized and revitalized.
8. Eat 7 times a day
According to this diet, you can eat almost as much as you want (autó riasztó), but only in small pieces. This makes your stomach feel full all through the day, and you won’t feel the urge to eat as much as you normally would.
7. Eat only once a day.
In this one, you should do just the opposite: eat only breakfast, and nothing else during the day. This requires more self-discipline, but it is also much more effective. You are allowed to chew something (lakás riasztó) if you feel very hungry, but you must not swallow it.
6. Mega-Bite diet
Popularized by Horace Fletcher, the Mega-Bite diet is about eating slow. This is accomplished by chewing the food until it becomes liquid, and goes down your throat by itself.
5. Separate the ingredients
This diet lasts for 90 days, and is quite difficult to accomplish. On one day, you can eat only proteins, the next day only carbohydrates, on the third day, a third element, and so on. This kind of separation helps the stomach to digest faster.
4. Caveman diet
You are allowed to eat the same things that our ancestors ate ages before. This diet includes a lot of raw foods, vegetables, fruits, sometimes even raw meat.
3. Breathing instead of eating
According to the breatharian diet, the right kind of breathing and a lot of sunrise elevates you to a higher spiritual level, where eating is not necessary any more. They say that eating is only an acquired habit anyway. Follow the way of saints who were able to survive without food or drink for an extended period of time.
2. Tape Worm Diet
Ok, this one is only for the tough. First, you have to swallow some pills that contain tape worms. Then in your stomach, these pills dissolve, and the worms start to live their happy parasite lives inside you. The advantage is that they help you consume the food you swallowed, thus you are always hungry, but never gain weight. The negative effect is the tapeworm infection you get during the process.
1. The ultimate weight loss program
A patented method and apparatus for reducing obesity will make you slim in no time. The device is an inflatable bag that you have to swallow, so that it gets into your stomach. The bag is connected with a long pipe that comes out through your nose. Now if you want to make this work, you have to pump in some kind of liquid into the end of the tube. The liquid then pumps up the bag, and the bag partly fills your stomach. This gives the body a sensation that the stomach is full, and your hunger is gone forever.
