The Bread and Butter Diet
Talk about
conflicting messages. While some diets will tell you to cut
bread out of your diet altogether, this one encourages you to
have a slice at every meal—and slathered with butter, no less!
Supposed to be taken over four days, you can choose what kind of
bread you like. It doesn’t make any big scientific claims;
basically, you take about 850 calories a day, and the low intake
lets you lose weight really fast. The biggest problem is that
you will feel hungry, making it very difficult to say no
to temptation (or even just function properly).
