Crash Diets are generally regarded as a bad, baaaaaad thing. But they don't have to be the pariah of healthy living ... there are some quick -- and healthy -- ways to drop a couple of pounds before a big event. In fact, there are even some crash diets that doctors will do. Need examples? Here are some crash diets from real doctors:
  • The salad diet: stick to salads and lean protein and the pound will drop off
  • The no liquids diet: Cutting out soda, juice and alcohol it is a surefire way to trim down
  • The seafood diet: Limit your carbs and go for fish and seafood instead.
  • The no-snacking diet: Quit mindlessly eating and prolong your hunger until meal times to slim-down quick
  • The portion-control diet: Measuring out your food and sticking to an allotted amount of calories will help you lose weight fast.
  • The meal-replacement diet: Going on the Slim Fast plan or another meal-replacement diet will help you lose weight in a short amount of time
Keep in mind, though, that these are quick fixes and won't lead to long-term weight loss unless you can maintain your healthy eating. Read the full article for more information on how to slim down for good.
