Healthy Living vs. Crazy Diets & Being Skinny

Cabbage Soup Diet, All Protein Diet, Grapefruit Diet, 3 Day Diet, 3 Hour Diet, Lemon and Maple Syrup Diet, and The Rice Diet. These are just a few of the diets I have heard of while looking on the internet, talking to my friends, or watching t.v and personally, none of these diets sound healthy, or like they would taste very good.

Lets look at the Lemon and Maple Syrup Diet:
2 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon).
2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup(the darker the better).
1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper, gradually increase. 10-14 oz water
Drink the lemonade mix every 1 to 2 hours. Take no other food, but do be sure to drink plenty of purified water in addition to the lemonade drink. The lemonade contains all the vitamins and minerals you need. Every morning, before you starting drinking the lemonade, drink a laxative tea or 2 teaspoons of sea salt in 36 oz of water. It is important to cleans your system.

I have been on this diet, and I lost about 10lb in 5 days, but I gained it all back after a week, I felt horrible while I was on the diet, and I deprived myself of everything my body was craving. Now, I am not a health expert, but I know that is no healthy way to lose weight. Don’t go on a diet because you want to look like the models you see on t.v. Don’t hurt your body with insane diets that hurt you more than help you. Live healthy, eat healthy, and treat your body right, because it is the only one you have. If you want to lose weight, do in a healthy way, change your lifestyle. Live life to the fullest, not how others want you to live it.
