This restrictive diet only allows 500 calories to be injected a day! However it also includes an injection of HCG (hence the name) which is the hormone women create while pregnant.

2. The Twinkie Diet

Yup, you read right, an all Twinkie diet. For a certain period you consume 1,500 calories worth of twinkies every day. This was originated from a nutrition professor from Kansas State University in order to see if health realized on what you eat or how much you consume.

3. The Tapeworm Diet...?

People would actually intentionally digest tapeworm as a form to lose weight. Doesn't take a doctor to figure how dangerous this fad was...

4. The Baby Food Diet

Adults subsitute baby food for actual meals 2-3 times a day. Its effective because it's restrictive. Not sure how appetizing this would be...also the weight you lose is known to come back once you return to solid food.

5. The Cigarette Diet

In other words the worst possible ting you could do to your body. ABSOLUTE WORST. Basically, you smoke instead of eat which obviously will cause weight loss with adding an almost 100% guarantee of cancer.

6. The Sleeping Beauty Diet

These just keep getting crazier and crazier...basically you sedate yourself to sleep for hours or days to avoid sleeping. I mean I'm always up for a nap, but I also enjoy having a life.

7. Ear Stapling

...PEOPLE SURGERICALLY STAPLE THEIR EARS BECAUSE IT COULD CONTROL THEIR APPETITE. It's supposed to work like acupuncture but...no thanks.
