But I will not tell about the new-fashioned trends andtips from leading nutritionists, because, of course, your best friend will call you soon and tell you better than me. I will tell you about the strangest x of our time.
The strangest in the worldIn 10th place“strange” diet hit parade medieval diet of Count Borgia. Some nobles were so afraid of poisoning that they considered hunger the only way out. Then a resourceful count-nutritionist advised them to eat only whole walnut kernels, as he believed that it was almost impossible to poison them. Each nut was served on a separate gold tray, and its shell was carefully examined by a trusted servant. Nothing to say, it is hard to be rich. 9th place is occupied by the American traveler William Buckland, who ate everything that moved. In fact, he became a traveler because he was incredibly bored with hamburgers and pizza, and wanted different taste delights. Thus, he tried the taste of crocodiles, hippos, bears, seagulls and even, they say, an elephant. And where was Greenpeace looking? 8th place goes to an equally extravagant diet, which Italian fisherman Renato Arganza was forced to adhere to. His boat was carried away into the open sea, and he ate his own clothes. When rescuers found him, he was wearing only a cap. He did not eat it because he did not want to get sunstroke. Let's hope he did not suffer from indigestion. In 7th place is the wine diet. To stick to this diet, you need to eat foods in the following order for five days: in the morning - eat one hard-boiled egg with a tomato. After 2 hours - nibble on an apple. After another two hours, have a snack of low-fat cottage cheese and one cucumber. And after three hours, wash down your grief with red wine, so that the time until the next meal goes faster. The main thing - You won't get hooked on this diet. The 6th place in the hit parade of strange diets is given to the palm diet. During the day you can eat whatever you want, but only as much as will fit in your palm.
In 5th place is the fashionable Italian diet«Traffic Light». It differs from the well-known color diet only in that you need to eat in the order of the colors on the traffic light. In the morning, you eat red products - raspberries, tomatoes, red fish. For lunch - bananas, corn and other yellow goodies. For dinner, you have cucumbers, kiwi and other green vegetation that is suitable for food. The main thing is not to start wrapping your favorite chocolates in wrappers of the color you need. In 4th place are sailors again, but this time Spanish and Portuguese. In the old days, during long voyages, when supplies ran out, sailors began to eat ship rats. On Ferdinand Magellan's ship, they even kept track of how many rats were given to each person depending on the position they held. But they could also eat their own clothes, and the natives would have been surprised.
3rd place goes to the diet according to the zodiac signs.According to her, Geminis are constantly chewing something. Virgos are used to finishing off their children's food and have become so fond of it that they even finish eating and drinking what's left over from a festive lunch or dinner. Taurus cannot live without cream cakes, and Aquarius - without another sandwich. Sagittarius eats everything with hot peppers and suffers from overeating, and Pisces have a weakness for pink champagne and drinks up to eight cups of tea a day. Capricorns love puddings and buns, and Aries are easy to find in a buffet at a train station, they simply cannot pass by. Leos choose the fattest dishes in restaurants, and Libras try everything that is offered to them. Scorpios do not deny themselves food, and Cancers strive to feed their loved ones more deliciously and eat with them. Do you not recognize yourself? Then imagine how such a diet can help you.
2nd place in our hit parade is occupied by"color diet", which was initially received in society with incredible enthusiasm and trepidation. So much so that no one even noticed the caveat that thanks to such a distribution of food, you can lose 2 kg (!) in a month. And then, probably, only thanks to the last (there was no suitable color for it) Sunday fasting day, on which you are allowed to drink only water. And 1st place goes to the diet of the Mexican artist Diego Rivera, whose third wife was the famous Frida Kahlo. He himself suffered from excess weight and as a cleansing diet advised dishes made from human meat. And he even came up with several recipes. Sometimes it is better to draw, just draw. Now, before you go on any diet, check if it is on this list. Good luck with your diets!
