With an increased awareness about a healthy lifestyle and the willingness to maintain a fit and lean body, many have switched to different types of diets. While some have taken to weight loss diets, others have tried out body detoxification or cleansing diets. However, there are some who have gone the extra mile and adopted various weird diets. Though, the benefits of such diets are still debatable, many have tried these to achieve weight loss goals.

Here is a list of some weird diets that have been used by celebrities as well as common people in different parts of the world.

The Master Cleanse Diet

The Master Cleanse diet also known as the Lemonade diet has been tried by many celebrities. It particularly came to the public eye when it was tried by Beyonce, a famous Hollywood singer and actress.

It basically consists of having a juice like mixture consisting of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper in water. People following this diet are asked to have at least 6 to 12 glasses of this mixture throughout the day.

This is coupled with the intake of a laxative in the morning and evening. As the individual wins over the cravings for food, the motivation for following this diet becomes stronger.

Apple Cider Vinegar Diet

Another weird diet that is known to reduce weight by decreasing the appetite is the Apple Cider Vinegar diet. This kind of a diet calls for the consumption of apple cider vinegar before every meal.

2tsp of apple cider vinegar can be mixed with a glass of water and flavoured with sugar or honey for preparing a tonic that has to be consumed at least twice a day. Having this mixture before the main meals of the day cuts down on the appetite considerably and the food intake is drastically reduced.

Heidi Klum was known to practice this diet for losing weight.

Shangri-La Diet

This diet was based on the idea of beating hunger pangs. Professor Seth Roberts, who devised this diet plan believed that every individual has an average weight.

And this can be considerably reduced by the intake of various bland foods. As a result, he prescribed drinking olive oil an hour before the meal. According to him, this could kill the appetite and would help in rapid weight loss.

Boiled Egg Diet

Celebrities willing to shed weight or trying to keep in shape have tried this weird diet. It consists of having boiled eggs for every meal. So, an individual opting for this diet only consumes eggs in the morning and then has one or two more at the end of the day.

HCG Diet

An example of an absolutely weird diet is the HCG diet. The hormone produced by the placenta of pregnant women is injected into the body of people willing to lose weight.

It is believed that this hormone is capable of burning fat. A diet consisting of 500 calories is allowed for individuals trying this weird diet. However, doctors warn against these diets and are of the belief that hormone injections can have serious side effects.
