Extreme Weight Loss Diet That Gets You Losing As Much As 22lbs in 10 Days

A lot of people go through dieting as if it is their last hope for acceptance and recognition. Thus, they go through the most desperate and extreme measure of dieting to lose weight. Most adhere to fad diets made popular by Hollywood celebrities who in one month can shed all the pregnancy weight and pounds added for a role. The rest of the world does not certainly need this kind of vanity, but then, when a woman has to look good for a wedding or a summer beach vacation and needs to get into that skimpy bikini, is there any way to stop them from engaging in an extreme weight loss diet?

One such extreme diet has been made popular since the 1960s. As it seems that cottage cheese is a part of most healthy diets, fad dieters figured out of making it the only item on their diets, unless they are lactose intolerant. This kind of cheese is said to be ideal because its fat content is low, the number of calories per serving is light and it is not really that expensive. It is acquired taste, but then some extreme dieters swear by its effectiveness since they made it the only item in their diet.

Another extreme weight loss diet is the lemon detox drink diet. If 8 glasses of lemon juice is the only sustenance a dieter will have for 10 days is not extreme, then nothing else is. The drink should be composed of 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tablespoons maple syrup (Grade B), a pinch of cayenne pepper and water. This drink shall both cleanse one's digestive system and burn the fats away.

A popular extreme diet for weight loss is the grapefruit diet, also known by its other names Hollywood Diet and Mayo Clinic Diet. Its history is traced since the 1930s. Different variations have sprung out of this diet, but all versions mainly involve eating half a grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice with anything that is below 800 calories daily. A fat-burning enzyme found in grapefruit allegedly helps in losing weight.

There are other extreme weight loss diets available and while it is certainly any dieter's prerogative to try any of them, they should be extra careful and make sure that doing these diets do not adversely affect their heath.
