Wacky and amusing diet story of the week:
In the 1970's, Robert Linn, M.D., prescribed a program called the Last Chance Diet, on which people ate nothing but a liquid protein drink consisting of collagen. Ingredients included pre-digested animal hides, tendons and slaughterhouse byproducts combined with sweeteners and artificial flavors. Each drink contains less than 400 calories per serving making this a starvation type diet. His book sold over 2 million copies. The FDA stepped in after several Last Chance dieters died- some of heart attacks.

Wacky and amusing diet story of the week!
The Vision Diet:
A Japanese inventor is credited with the idea of a vision diet. The vision diet requires eaters to wear blue lens glasses so that their food appears a blue color, which apparently is unappetizing. It is based on the principle that foods in the red/yellow spectrum look the most appetizing, and thus should be disguised so that you won't find them appealing. This may be a main reason that some fast food chains use these colors in their logos.

The Fletcherism Diet:
Horace Fletcher, an American who in the late 19th century began to promote
his technique called "Fletcherism." This technique promoted chewing each
mouthful of food 32 times, basically turning the food into liquid form.
He believed his method would help people lose weight and avoid disease. It
also made him a lot of money.
