Another of the 3-day diets on this list (and to be fair, they said don't do any of them for more than 3 days!) was:

Ice cream. As much as you want. But only vanilla, and no extras like fudge sauce or sprinkles.

I remember, because I'm old.

    There was another one, don't know if it was from the same list or not, but it was the all beet diet. Just beets. Season and cook them however you want, but that is all you are allowed to have. Period. My stepdad did the diet and nearly lost his goddamned mind.

    I read one in a magazine that was for more than 3 days, and it suggested only drinking milk instead of water.
    The reasoning was:

    • fat cells are mostly water
    • so not drinking water will "dry out" the fat cells
    • drinking milk is fine because your stomach acid turns it into a solid, so it isn't liquid anymore

    Nutritional advice used to be wild.
