An Overview Of Popular Crash Diet Plans

by Heather McLaughlin

Many people have attempted to lose weight using a number of different diet plans over the years.
I’m going to highlight some different diet plans that people have used to reduce their weight.

• The Cabbage Soup Diet. The cabbage soup diet has been around since I was a kid. This diet plan requires the dieter to make a homemade soup chock full of vegetables that’s low in calories. This soup diet is ideal for someone that is looking to lose some weight quick and isn’t recommended as a long term dieting option. The dieter is supposed to eat this soup as a main staple in their diet for 7 days.
• Special K Diet. The Special K Diet is a diet plan that the dieter eats Special K cereal with low fat milk twice a day (for breakfast and lunch.) This basic plan also suggests a healthy low calorie dinner as a way to lose 10 or more pounds quickly. As with any diet program, it assumes that the dieter is doing some basic cardio exercise in conjunction with the eating plan. This is probably not something that people will want to stick with for an extended period of time, but can be used to lose some weight in a relatively short period of time.
• Three Day Diet Plan. The three day diet plan is another crash diet that is supposed to help you reduce your weight by minimizing the amount of food you take in for three days. This diet isn’t very realistic, because three days of any “diet” will have limited and short term results only.

I hope this post helped highlight a few crash diets that are supposed to help you lose weight in a short period of time by changing the way that you eat. Look for more to come.
