    Another of the 3-day diets on this list (and to be fair, they said don’t do any of them for more than 3 days!) was:

    Ice cream. As much as you want. But only vanilla, and no extras like fudge sauce or sprinkles.

    I remember, because I’m old.

      I read one in a magazine that was for more than 3 days, and it suggested only drinking milk instead of water.
      The reasoning was:

      • fat cells are mostly water
      • so not drinking water will “dry out” the fat cells
      • drinking milk is fine because your stomach acid turns it into a solid, so it isn’t liquid anymore

      Nutritional advice used to be wild.

        In my experience “nutritional advice” changes completely every 7 years on average. In 2032 we’ll probably be saying “nutritional advice used to be wild” about a lot of what we’re taking for granted right now.
