The only diet I’ve tried was such a horrible experience that I decided to not diet ever again. Anyways, I don’t know what this torture was called but there were only 4 meals of vegetables in the day and you could eat all the jell-o you wanted in between. I was 17 at the time and wanted to lose 5-8 pounds. I was so hungry, miserable and bitchy by the fourth day that I quit.
Let’s just say cutting back on all the sugar I was having was all I needed to lose those pounds and I didn’t have to go back to diets, thank god.

Cleveland Clinic 3-Day Diet — you would eat hot dogs, beets, ice cream but in a very limited amount. It was disgusting.

It would be easier to tell you what I haven’t tried up until a couple years ago when I FINALLY starting using common sense and eating real food in healthy portions combined with exercising. BUT to answer the question – a doctor (yep, right there in the small town clinic!) told me I was to only eat 400 calories per DAY for one week, then I could have 900 per day the following week and to alternate this PLUS I was to exercise 4 – 5 times a day. OK, first of all, I had the worst headaches, I got sick and I had no energy to look after my three small daughters at the time never mind freaking exercise!

I did the master cleanse. It was horrible. Just lemonade, cyanne pepper and maple syurp for two weeks. Sure, I got used to the mix, but it didnt help my weight. I lost ten pounds, but withing 3 days of getting off of it, I gained back 20. Plus, It made my tongue and teeth feel fuzzy constantly because of excess plaque buildup, my breath REEKED, and because my immune system was slowing down, I got sick often. Also, the amount of acid in the drink gave me cold sores that were pretty unsightly. Also, during the cleanse, you had to chug a gallon of a sea salt and water mixture to flush EVERYTHING out. It was horrible.

Although I haven’t experimented with many different ‘programs’, I do agree with your analysis. For me, even when it’s unplanned, those periods of time where I over-ingest carbs (particularly processed starches, less so natural sources like sweet potato or carrots) makes me lethargic, puffy, and stalls digestion.

The cabbage soup diet. The soup is not bad and it is possible to lose some weight quickly (& gain it back quickly). The main issue I had with the diet is that it was best if I stayed away from people and close to the bathroom.

Medifast. I did the vegetarian option, so I was eating soy, soy, soy at every meal. (All their prepackaged meals are soy-based.) After a few months, I was in a state of perpetual PMS, and when I broke down crying at a work luncheon I knew it was time to quit!

HCG! What was I thinking!! Lost some weight just to gain it back right after. Lost alot of weight on a very low carb (less than 20g…). It’s what I eat now. Beieve me I tried EVERYTHING before. Really really tried. IF (8/16, 24-24) for a long time, WW, ally , veganism ect ect…. and no real result, or weight loss above 8 pounds (which returned).
So low carbs is perfect for me. I will now start experimenting with adding a bit more carbs every 2 weeks.

Not a diet per se, but it was a weight management group run by the local council. It was run by one of the volunteers in the Healthy Lives information point (in one of the shops in the local shopping centre. My area has social issues, so Healthy Lives was set up at least improve some of them by local government/Scottish Executive. It’s a great idea, rubbish execution) a woman the size of a house and who smoked like a chimney, getting her diet information from the government food plate website and asking us questions about it then looking them up on the plate website, forgetting what the hell the question was when she found it, because she had to stop every five minutes to cough her lungs up. I got into an argument with her over potion size and called up the British Dietitians website. She ended the meeting early and I never went back. I don’t think I’d've been very welcome.
