So I never got to try these oldies-but-not-so-goodies.

Negative Calorie Diet
Apple Cider Vinegar Diet

(Later revised to include apple cider, kelp, vitamin B-6, and lecithin)

3 Day Diet
7 Day Cabbage Soup Diet
12 Day Mayo Clinic Diet
21 Day Grapefruit Diet

Beverly Hills Diet
Peanut Butter Diet
Israeli Army Diet

* Recommendations from studies that ignore differences among individuals
* Diets that won't accommodate your lifestyle
