I feel that I really should mention one of my favorite weight blogs happens to be "Big Fat Deal". It is my internet version of crack. I am absolutely addicted. From the rousing topics to the heated debates, I couldn't be any happier than if I was savoring an oreo cookie this minute. For real.
One of their most recent articles entitled "The Forty-Seventh Biggest Loser" sort of touched on the topic of the sometimes overboard weight-loss tactics of the contestants on the show. They reported that one contestant admitted to being severely dehydrated because she ate lots of asparagus and hopped in and out of saunas to lose some excess water weight. As much as I want to berate this woman, i'm sure she did it for the obvious pressure added to her from the show. But still…
The weirdest thing I have ever done to lose weight was go on what I would like to call "The Apple Diet". I ate nothing but apples all day long. It lasted for 3 days and by the end of the third day I wanted food all kinds and truck loads! I was 15 at the time.
So, now I need to pose some questions to y'all…

I’ve done lots of strange things in the name of weight loss, most of them during the time in which I had an eating disorder. Amongst the strangest is my pickles and kool-aid diet phase. If you use Splenda in kool-aid, neither have any calories.
Perhaps the most disgusting thing I did was drink apple cider vinegar straight from the jar. I had been taking apple cider vinegar pills for weight loss, and figured I’d lose even more if I just drank it directly.
I used to also eat raw cabbage with the zero-calorie spray butter, since cabbage is naturally low-cal and is supposed to have negative calories. It’s actually quite good and I still eat cabbage and spray butter even now that I am not dieting and have no plans to lose weight.
