Many people want to lose a lot of weight and are willing to try anything from a stomach staple to a
far out wacky diet. Some diets are controversial and can be injurious to health. Others are short-
term starvation. Here is a list of the top ten fad diets.
#1 The Atkins diet is a one of Americas most popular and still endures after many years. The
Atkins diet basis is that processed foods and a high carbohydrate diet are the core problems that
make and keep people fat. The diet has four phases.
The first phase and most restrictive is the OWL phase. The Owl phase (Ongoing Weight Loss)
restricts the carbohydrate intake to just 20 grams per day. Twelve to fifteen of those grams must
come from salads. Meat, seafood, fish and poultry are plentiful in this stage. A little soft cheese is
allowed daily, some low carbohydrate vegetables, no alcohol, limited caffeine, butter or oils and
water, lots and lots of water, needs to be consumed.
Phase two allows more carbohydrates each week selected from a food ladder. The dieter gets an
increase of five grams of carbohydrates per week from a different food group each week during
this phase.
The next phase increases the carbohydrates until weight loss stops. Once the dieter reaches the
final weight goal the maintenance phase kicks begins.
The Atkins diet shows immediate weight loss but is difficult to stick to because of rigid eating
patterns. A study showed that the diet might cause kidney damage.
#2 The green tea diet uses a nutritional low calorie diet and adds green tea to every meal and
snack.
#3 Number three on the top ten fad diet list is the negative calorie diet.
The diet gets its name from the theory that the foods on the diet use more calories to digest than
they contain. While there is no scientific proof that you can eat your way thin, many of these foods
are healthy, nutritional foods that are low in calories. The foods on the list increase the body's
metabolism and aid in faster weight reduction.
#4 The grape diet is number four of the top ten fad diets and one probably the worst. Nothing but
grapes and water becomes the fare for days on end. This diet, originally created to cleanse the
system and fight cancer, became a weight loss diet somewhere along the way.
#5 The three hour diet takes into consideration the time of day that you eat. The diet breaks the

2. food down to mini-meals eaten every three hours. It resembles a diet for hypoglycemia. The diet is
nutritionally balanced and keeps blood sugar levels stable. That stability reduces the urge for a
5:00 o'clock feeding frenzy that frequently occurs in dieters. This one makes sense. The down
side is the need to constantly eat, even if you're busy or not hungry.
#6 The lemonade diet was another cleanse diet that switched to a weight loss one. Nothing but a
concoction of maple syrup, cayenne pepper and lemon juice is on the list of edibles for the ten day
fast.
#7The ice cream diet is just a regular calorie controlled diet that makes room for a little ice cream
at the end of the day. Of course, if calories are controlled, weight loss occurs. The diet is nothing
more than allotting for ice cream. The calcium in the ice cream is good for the bones and aids
metabolism, but outside of that, you could substitute a brownie and call it the brownie diet.
#8 The cabbage soup diet uses a soup created from cabbage and other vegetables and mixes it
with rations of other low calorie foods and cranberry juice or tea for five days of monotony and
gassy stomachs.
#9 The raw food diet is a vegan diet with all foods left uncooked. Blend them, chop them and
arrange them but don't cook anything or heat it beyond 116 degrees Fahrenheit. Raw food
contains more vitamins in many cases than its cooked counterparts do. Nuts are included in the
raw food diet as the protein source. The diet consisting mostly of vegetables is a low calorie diet,
but it is difficult to keep it well balanced. It is a lot healthier than most fad diets and the introduction
of raw vegetables into the body brings in many nutrients. The fiber of the raw vegetables cleans
out a lot of noxious waste.
#10 The final diet on the list of the top ten fad diets is Zone diet. Much like the Atkins diet it has
phases and attempts to change lifestyle and eating habits. The Zone diet uses a balancing act for
its carbohydrate ratio. Each meal consists of 40 % of the food as carbohydrates, 30% protein and
30% of the meal in fats. The popularity of this diet created by Oprah's endorsement puts it on the
list of the top ten fad diets.
