I Am Writing a Book on Dieting… What Are Some Quirky/off-Beat Weight Loss Strategies I Can Try?

Question by superswyguy: I am writing a book on dieting… What are some quirky/off-beat weight loss strategies I can try?
I am a published author, working on a book on dieting. As part of it, I am looking to test various weight loss methods. I obviously will give the typical strategies a go (the Atkins, the Liver Cleansing, Jenny Craig etc). What are some other ways to lose weight that I can try?

Any tested possibilities will get credited in the book… I will pay particular attention to any that you yourself have tried (regardless of if they have worked or not!)

Cheers!

Hey I got a GREAT one: Its called eating healthy and excersizing.

jk jk lol i got one. Its called the No Packaged Food diet, self explanatory, you just have no packaged foods. My mom tried this and she lost 23 pounds!!!! it took 2 and a half weeks.

Theres also the banana diet, where you have a banana in the morning and its supposed to make you loose 5 pounds a week.

I was 16 stone 4 months ago and i am now 12 1/2 stone. I have done this by eating 5 meals a day but eating less fatty foods. I only eat chicken now and no red meat. Plenty of protein but eat at least 6 pieces of fruit a day. I eat a bit of pasta each day to get my carb intake.

The main thing that as helped though is my interval training. 4 times a week i go to the local park and run around the soccer pitch. I walk or jog very slow along the width and then sprint the length of the pitch as fast as i can. I do about 20 reps of this now but started with 10.

On the days i do not do this i do 200 sit ups using small weights.

I have started to develop a very nice six pack and the beauty is i only workout about 20 minutes a day so not too time consuming.
