Milk. It tastes good. It's packed full of calcium, for healthy bones! Here's a diet based completely around milk. Not only that, but you could lose up to 15 pounds! Although, this weight loss was only found in women who were already overweight - loss could vary.
Try drinking skimmed milk or reduced calorie milk.
This diet lasts 8 days, and allows you a lot of choice when it comes to what you eat.
Day 1 - 6 cups of milk
Day 2 - 4 cups of milk & any 2 portions of fruit
Day 3 - 2 cups of milk & any 2 portions of fruit & unlimited cheese (but don't go overboard)
Day 4 - 4 cups of milk & any 1 portion of fruit & any 1 portion of meat
Day 5 - 2 cups of milk & any 2 portions of fruit & any 1 portion of meat & 1 egg

Handful Diet
The basis of The Handful Diet is that most of the things you eat, you eat a handful worth. The diet is -
Low fat - fat has twice as many calories as carbohydrates, or proteins, so cutting down on fat = cutting down on calories. No meal on this diet has over 5% fat.
Low Gi - Low-Gi foods cause glucose levels in our bodies to rise and fall more slowly, helping you feel hungry less frequently
Low cal - Being on a low calorie diet helps you lose weight quickly
Small portions - If you're given a small plate of food, you'll eat it and feel full. If you're given a large plate of the same food, you'll still eat it, and feel full. Stick to smaller portions!

Cabbage Soup Diet
A diet where you can eat as much as you want and still loose between 10 and 15 pounds? Well, I must say, I am intrigued! Let us learn about this wondrous diet they call... The Cabbage Soup Diet.
For the next week, you can eat AS MUCH cabbage soup as you want, as well as a number of other foods.
Day 1:
Eat as much cabbage soup, and fruit not including bananas, as you like. Drink black, unsweetened tea and coffee, cranberry juice and water.
Day 2:
Eat as much cabbage soup, and vegetables (fresh, raw, or cooked) as you like. Stay away from dry beans, peas and sweet corn, though. For dinner, have a big baked potato with butter. Drink water.
Day 3:
Eat as much cabbage soup, fruit and vegetables as you like today, staying away from bananas, dry beans, peas and sweet corn. Do not have a baked potato today. Drink water.
Day 4:
Eat as much cabbage soup as you like. Eat a maximum of eight bananas, and drink as much skimmed milk and water as you like. This day should help with any sweet-cravings you've been having.
Day 5:
Eat as much cabbage soup as you like, but you must have it at least once. Have between 10 to 20 ounces (300-500 grams) of beef, and some fresh tomatoes (either a large tin, or a maximum of 6). If you do not like beef, you may substitute it with skinless chicken, either broiled or baked, or broiled fish. You must have at least 8 glasses of water today - this will help wash out uric acid from your body.

Eat as much cabbage soup as you like, but you must have it at least once. Have between 10 to 20 ounces (300-500 grams) of beef.
