The grapefruit diet: the grapefruit diet is promoted in a lot of books, and used by celebrities such as Kylie Minogue and Brooke Shields,also by word of mouth and on the internet

It might be unsuccessful because the people/public are saying the diet doesn't work
Cabbage soup:is promoted a lot in books and celebrities use it and it is used to keep celebrities,flight attendants and models In shape

I think it might be unsuccessful because there has been complaints that it doesn't work and that it isn't a long term solution
Apple cider vinegar and water diet :is promoted in books and celebrity endorsed by Miranda Kerr and Megan fox

My diet that created is the spinich diet it is very high in antioxidents and is a good source of vitamian A,B2,C,K and is full of magnesium. A recent study found a bowl of spinach every day increases muscle efficiency. Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found participants who consumed 300 grams of spinach a day reduced the amount of oxygen required to power their muscles while exercising by five per cent. The effect was noticable after just three days of spinach consumption.The flavonoids and antioxidants found in spinach, particularly the antioxidant beta-carotene, have been shown in multiple studies to help combat many cancers.
