What people do not do to lose weight. Several years ago the world was sitting on Atkins, now on Ducan. At one time it was believed that thoroughly chewed food is not deposited in fat, and then, as if standing, you get satiated faster.

The world of dieting is full of illusions. People want to be slim and healthy by magic - quickly and easily. This is what gives rise to crazy diets, which in reality are far from healthy eating.

Los Angeles-based food photographer Stephanie Gonot decided to use photography to show the absurdity of some weight loss methods.

1. Hollywood diet

Many girls dream of a 90x60x90 figure. And for them a diet with the catchy name "Hollywood" was invented. It's like all the Hollywood stars are sitting on it, and that's why they are in such great shape.

The essence of the diet is to reduce the calorie content of food (no more than 602 calories per day), give preference to proteins and limit the intake of fats and carbohydrates. As a result, the menu of a person adhering to the Hollywood diet looks something like this …

2. Lemonade diet

In the 1950s, American folk healer Stanley Burroughs invented the Master Cleanser, a special “healing” lemonade. With this remedy, he proposed to treat ulcers and gastritis. And in the 2000s, Peter Glickman suggested using this lemonade also for weight loss. It is now believed to be the Beyoncé diet.

The drink is made with lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.

3. Diet on baby food

This diet was invented by fitness trainer Tracy Anderson. Initially, its essence was to replace unnecessary high-calorie snacks with healthy ones - instead of a pack of chips, eat a jar of baby food. But the diet was not officially published anywhere, so various modifications appeared.

The most radical of them involves completely switching to baby purees - a couple of jars for breakfast, three for lunch and a few more for dinner.

4. Coffee and cigarette diet

This is a way to lose weight for hardcore lovers. The principle is simple: drink coffee and smoke, smoke and drink coffee. As an alternative to coffee - dietary "Cola" (only necessarily dietary!). Adherents of this diet believe that caffeine will expel "unnecessary" water from the body, and nicotine will stifle the feeling of hunger.

5. Color diet

What do a rainbow and a week have in common? That's right - the number 7! Followers of the color diet “paint” the menu in a new color every day. Monday is all red (tomatoes, peppers, fish, berries), Tuesday is green (cucumbers, herbs), Wednesday is orange (peaches, oranges, carrots), etc. At the same time, the calorie content of the dish is not important, the main thing is that it is in the suit.

6. "5 bites"

This way to lose weight was invented by Californian doctor Alwin Lewis. It is simple, like everything "ingenious": eat what you want, but at the same time do not more than five bites. And don't try to be cunning - don't try to stuff a whole hamburger into your mouth at once.
