The Russian Airforce Diet
This diet
was supposedly created by the Soviet Union to keep its soldiers
fit. It certainly employs an almost military-level type of
strictness, but its effects—low energy, feeling of fatigue, poor
concentration—could hardly be the qualities any army would want
from its men.
The diet
lasts for seven days, and like the Metabolism Diet, requires you to
drink at least 4 glasses of water or diet soda everyday. The same
seasonings are allowed (herbs, salt and pepper, Worcestershire
sauce, soy sauce, mustard and ketchup). The diet is supposed to be
repeated, but most nutritionists will warn you against maintaining
this for long periods of time. It doesn’t have enough vitamins and
minerals, and the repetitive menu can get really old, really fast.
