Every year has a new diet or (20) to follow. Does anyone remember the sad part of the last decade when no one ate bread? Oh, wait, we're all gluten-free again.
Here is 2012's round up:
hCG diet: inject yourself with this pregnancy hormone and eat 500 Calories a day (roughly the equivalent of a Big and Tasty from McDonalds).
Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition diet: Why eat food when you can just have a feeding tube? Clinical dietitians take note!
Sensa: Shake a little on your Krispy Kreme and the pounds just fall off...
Baby Food Diet: Eat about 10-14 jars of baby food...
Gluten-Free: Celebrities, 'nutritionists', and a few famous doctors touted cutting out bread, pasta, and their contemporaries...
Raspberry Ketones: These little beauties promoted by Dr. Oz for their fat burning properties, they also pushed a healthy diet and exercise. What really worked?
What are some of your favorite fad diets? Thoughts on what might be big in 2013?
Don't forget your kale juice!
