In the always interesting world of fad diets, turns of phrase like "Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Days!" are tossed about like the salad-only diet you would probably have to follow to really lose that much weight in that short amount of time (only that too wouldn't exactly be healthy weight loss).

Thankfully, most people now know that fad diets are about as good for your health as only eating cabbage soup for weeks on end (oh wait ... that actually was a fad diet!!). And, having replaced most of these fads with sound advice on diet and fitness, we can now look back and have a good laugh at many of these ridiculous approaches to weight loss. In fact, I just came across a website that lists just about every fad diet that has swept across the nation in the past ten years or so.

From the Hollywood Diet to the Lemonade Diet (oh yeah, how could I also forget to mention the Amputation Diet!!), FadDiet.com mentions them all. It's nothing overly profound or exciting, but it's at least worth checking out.
