Hey, it’s me. The girl who tries terrible fad diets and writes about them. You may recollect me from the time I feed Halo Top ice cream and nothing else for a few weeks. Or the time I accidentally set off a war in the Whole3 0 community. Or you don’t understand either of those references and are just here today to learn about the confusing and scientifically unfounded lifestyle that is Food Combining. Regardless, welcome.

A few weeks ago I saw myself at a happy hour discussing, what else, fad diets. Usually once people hear that this is something I do willingly, they start throwing out wild suggestions that only lead me to believe that they are hoping I die in the process of attempting. May I present to you, a shortlist of diets that have been suggested to me by friends and strangers alike 😛 TAGEND The Potato Diet in which you feed, you guessed it, plain cooked potatoes and nothing else That insane Vogue diet that circulated Twitter and allows you an entire bottle of wine, three hardboiled eggs, and one steak a day( still not off the table tbh) The sushi and Jamba Juice diet, which is less a fad diet and more the very real eating habits of my suburban Californian high school self “Just like…eggs? ”- a human who wasn’t even involved in the conversation but had to stop and offer his two pennies “Vegan !! ”- any Vegan in a two mile radius
