I can recall when the Grapefruit Diet was quite popular in the early 1970s. It was a bit different then, however. Grapefruit wasn't eaten before a meal ... it was the meal. Dieters ate grapefruit for breakfast, lunch, and a few segments with dinner. Result? A few pounds lost.... bladder infections gained.

I like grapefruit...but only in moderation.

Yeah I remember when grapefruit was the rage.

I haven't heard of the baby food diet, nor the Werewolf diet. I did receive the info on the Blood type diet a few years ago ... thought that one was odd. But then, I've always felt that eating a balanced array of the different food groups, in moderation, would keep me in good stead. (And I, for one, was very thankful that chocolate was its own food group!!)

I have never been on a diet before.

I've been on the seafood diet (if I see food, I eat it) for years, but it hasn't worked.

Most diets have emphasis on one type of food and avoidance of others. Nobody naturally eats this way. This introduces vitamin/mineral deficiencies, which ironically may be a contributing factor to the problem we're trying to tackle. So "fad diet" is appropriately named. BTW, this is why I'm so critical of mainline, medical/health diet advice today. If you notice, it's a fad diet of sorts with an impressive emblem and backing to it. (E.g. anti-red meat, anti-saturated fat foods, excessive fruits, vegetables and grains -- I'm only in favor of the second one, vegetables, the rest contain mostly carbs, little protein and virtually no fat.)
