Task
THE DARK CHOCOLATE DIET
It is promoted by adds, You Tube, papers and magazines. An example of an ad for this diet is on You Tube.
It is a food that most people find to be very delectable. Most people know that chocolate is a fat food but when sold as being able to eat chocolate while on a diet sounds good. The negative side effects would be : migrane headaches, increased weight, tiredness and lack of nutrition. It is promoted as being high in antioxidants as the chocolate has to be higher that 65% cacao.
THE COOKIE DIET
It is promoted by books, coupons and promotional codes. This is an example of the promotional codes: http://savewithpromocodes.com/dr-siegal-s-cookie-diet-promo-codes/
Every one likes free food, this would make people want to do this diet. It is still led that celebrities in Hollywood have lost lots of weight on this diet. People might not like this diet when they find out that the biscuits are not choc chip biscuits but are healthy fiber filled biscuits. You have to have 2 biscuits every 2 hours. People would eat too much and not realise what a healthy diet would look like. People might become dependent on eating the biscuits.
THE WEREWOLF DIET
This diet is promoted by magazines and celebrity endorsements. An example of advertising for this diet is below.

People want to do this diet so they can look like a celebrity. based on the cycles on the moon. promotes you can loose 2 - 6 pounds in 24 hours. Drinking only water or juice for 24 hours during full moon or new moon. Its not good to drink water a lot without eating food. This will make you sick. Doing this diet just makes you eat more.
Out of these three I would do the dark chocolate diet because I like chocolate a lot. I find the werewolf diet too be bad because you drink more and eat less what is not good for your immune system at all.
