The beer and pizza diet. Pretty much you only live on pizza and beer. Once i quit this diet i gained 40 pounds.

Most of them involve sheep.

The raw foods diet has some supporters.

Eating sensibly will always be in fashion too…

Yeah raw food is in vogue in NYC and LA. I actually worked at a raw food restaurant in Santa Cruz, but it went out of business. If a place like that can’t survive in Santa Cruz, though, where can it?! I guess they have to be really hip, trendy, and expensive..

Diets don’t work.

Don’t ever go “on one”, rather have a healthy one.

It involves exercise, cooking, shopping and eating delicious food.

You want the “popular” diets, which by their very nature are temporary, or the permanent eating habit changes that work for life?

I think the concept of ‘Low Glycemic Index’ is key. Eat Low Glycemic Index food.
