Fad diet #1

Recently I've been thinking about going on a diet. I'm about average according to my doctors, but seeing as everyone in Australia is getting fatter, maybe average isn't the best place to be.

Obviously, eating right and exercising is the best way to get healthy, but when I hear about these fad diets, I'm tempted to try them to see if they work.

So, I am going to start trying them, and documenting them to see how they work, or if they work at all. I don't want to try anything stupid, like not eating anything at all, or a tape worm. Incidentally, I read a story about a woman who wanted a tape worm to lose weight because she wanted a quick fix, which is gross.

The first fad diet I want to try is the Beyonce Cayenne Pepper Diet. It's a Master Cleanse Diet, and it's pretty extreme. It requires abstaining from food for at least the first two days. This is what you need for the diet-
2 Tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
2 Tablespoons real maple syrup
1/10 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 oz water


Yikes. I'm not going to see any results just after the first two days, but I'm going to drink this disgusting concotion for two weeks, as well eating fruit and veggies after the first two days. I don't think it's going to work, that I'm going to go on a binge after the first day.

Ah well, the diet starts tomorrow.
