9.The Baby Food Diet
There are many versions of this diet on the Internet. Some have you replace one or two meals a day with a couple of jars of baby food and have an “adult meal” for dinner. Others tell you to eat a jar of baby food every couple of hours. Most jars have less than 100 calories and don’t contain enough of the nutrients adults need. So you’re likely to be hungry a lot. That can be a recipe for overeating.
10.The Cabbage Soup Diet
The soup you’d eat two to three times a day in this diet is relatively healthy. But you have only the soup and a few other foods, depending on which day of the plan you’re in (for example, fruit on the first day, and beef and vegetables on the fifth). You get as little as 1,000 calories a day. Any fewer than that will put your body in “starvation mode,” which can slow your metabolism. That won’t help you slim down.
