1. Tapeworm eggs

id=»h25″>

It is no secret that a sick person will lose weight. It is one of the symptoms of many health problems. It would seem that no one will go to the hospital at their own request to lose weight, but the human imagination knows no bounds. It used to be very fashionable to buy tapeworm or human roundworm eggs and swallow them. However, this is not a new fashion. In this way, women in the nineteenth century were already losing weight. The larvae hatched from the eggs were to nest in the intestines and do their duty, that is, to parasitize the host’s organism. The result was to lose weight. Unfortunately, such an action is paid for, for example, with malnutrition, because the ‘tenant’ steals some of the nutrients that should be absorbed by the system. In addition, what probably additionally saddened many people who decided to use this method, weight loss does not have to be large after anchoring the parasite. Sometimes it is not noticeable at all, but stomach pains are felt. Worse still, tapeworm eggs can migrate throughout the body, so taking anthelmintic drugs to eliminate them from the gut may not be enough.

2. Eating cotton balls

id=»h25″>

It seems just as inconceivable as it is just stupid. The theory is simple. Cotton swabs are made of non-digestible cotton, so the body will not gain any energy from them, but they will fill the stomach so you will not feel hungry. No hunger means no food, and hence losing weight. The only thing that is forgotten is that food has a very important function to fulfill – it is to nourish the body and provide it with the necessary ingredients to function. Lack of their supply means serious health problems. What is worse, the swabs themselves in the digestive tract are also a problem for the body. To make it more interesting, many of the swabs are not made of cotton at all, but of bleached synthetic fibers. So they are the source of many harmful or even toxic compounds that should not be ingested under any circumstances.

3. Cleansing liquids and tablets

id=»h25″>

The fashion for cleansing organisms of deposits, toxins, acids has been reigning for some time. Everyone wants to cleanse themselves, believing that it will help them lose weight. Hence, many drinks that increase diuresis or laxative teas are, unfortunately, still in use. We forget, however, that the body has many mechanisms by which it can neutralize toxins and get rid of them, whether through the urinary, excretory or skin systems. However, it is important not to unnecessarily supply the body with substances that it will have to deal with. It is therefore more reasonable to pay attention to the nutritional quality of food and eliminate products such as sweet and colorful drinks or fast food. It should also be remembered that the overuse of laxatives makes the intestines lazy, and excessive urination causes the loss of electrolytes with it.

4. Aluminum diet

Clay for weight loss? For the roof, for the production of dishes, yes, but how does this relate to the diet? It turns out that someone had the brilliant idea of ​​introducing bentonite dissolved in water and sipping it like tea. Since it cleanses the skin, it can also cleanse the body from the inside, right? Besides, swelling in the stomach will reduce hunger. It turns out, however, that it is not so rosy. In 2012, the British Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a statement advising against the use of this type of supplement, pointing out that clay preparations may be a source of arsenic or lead. So instead of cleansing them, they provide toxins and can lead to serious health problems, including anemia.

5. Mono-ingredient diet 

id=»h25″>

Cabbage or grapefruit diets are used as a means of quick results. Yes, both cabbage and grapefruit are valuable products, but they are not able to provide the body with all the necessary ingredients. In the case of the grapefruit diet, its effectiveness is to result from the action of its enzymes on fat, which in turn will result in a decrease of 12 kg within 5 days. In fact, it is simply a low calorie diet with 800-1000 calories. The same is true for the cabbage diet. Its action is the result of actually using a very restrictive diet. We wrote about what such starvation treatments bring in ‘Głodówka cleanses of toxins?’ Id = »h25 ″>.

id=»h25″>

The solution was found in the sixties of the last century by proposing sleeping pills. Thanks to this, you sleep through the feeling of hunger and lose weight, unfortunately you also get addicted to sleeping powders, suffer from malnutrition, muscle weakness and stay asleep all day long. In addition, this method does not have lasting effects, but it has a significant health risk.

8. HCG diet

id=»h25″>

It is a very low-energy diet in which up to 500 kcal is eaten and additionally recommends the use of gonadotrophin (HCG – human chorionic gonadotropin). This hormone is said to reduce appetite, hence its presence in this treatment. However, there is no objective research supporting this theory. The FDA has not approved gonadotrophin as an appetite suppressant. It is used only as a medicine, mainly in the case of infertility in women. Due to such a low energy consumption, this diet carries a high risk of nutritional deficiencies and the yo-yo effect after its completion.

400 g of bread and 100 g of vodka – this was the food ration that was supposed to be eaten by Soviet soldiers during the fight against the Nazis in World War II. The result was emaciation. So why not apply this method today? The originator of this theory is Alex Siry, who apparently likes to rummage through history. What to comment here, this is the best way to starve yourself. Just no words.

10. Cookie diet

id=»h25″>

How not to love her? You eat 6 cookies a day, plus one normal meal of 300 kcal. For breakfast, snacks, cookies for lunch. However, this is not about ordinary sweets. They are to be special high-protein pastries. Adding up the daily menu comes out about 800 kcal per day, which is a very small value. Like other diets of this type, the effect may occur, however, the yo-yo is also more than certain.
