Process
Task A
task B
the tape worm market
the chocolate diet
the amputation diet
I think that it would would be sucsessful because they accually work some better than others. the reason some of these would not work because there just plan stuipid for example the amputation diet concludes taking a body part away like your that desprate and the tape worm diet it works really well but the tape worm makes you very sick so i am never doing that.
but I would like to try the chocolate diet, the holly wood diet and definatley the 1 day diet.because some sound delious an the 1 day diet would work for me.
i would never try is the amputation diet, the tape worm and the the lemonade diet. one of this diets are chopping of limbs aother one is swolling a parasite and another one is going to make you faint.
4 of this are have a negative side and 1 has no negative side and that is the 1 day diet plan the rest are chopping lims (ampution diet) of swolling parasites (tape worm diet) one is just drinking juice (hollywood diet) and the other one will get very addictive ( the choclate diet).
