RNCentral has compiled a list of the 25 most ridiculous and ineffective popular diets. Though I agree most of these are not good for long term weight loss, I think the South Beach Diet and the Macrobiotic Diet shouldn't be on this list. If most people ate as prescribed in these diets, their daily choice of snacks and meals would be much healthier than the average persons daily food consumption.
Check out their list of the top extreme diets.
The macrobiotic meal above consists of brown rice, kale and brocolli.
