Dietitian reveals the top 9 weirdest diets in history

While I was making research on the healthiest diets, I came across some diets that are “very questionable” and I had to share them with you!

There is only one plausible way to divide the weirdest diets: the ones during the Victorian Age and the ones after the Victorian age. So, let’s jump into it!

DIETS during the VICTORIAN AGE:

The SWAMP DIET: The writer Thomas Short observed that usually obese people lived near swamps. The only logical conclusion? Move away from swaps.

The TAPEWORM DIET: why waste your time dieting when you can just infect your body with a parasite? Turns out that a tapeworm in your belly can interfere with your digestion and eat nutrients, so by feeding him, you are absorbing fewer calories. The only downside? Infections, meningitis and possibly dementia.

The VINEGAR DIET: the good looking Lord Byron was proclaimed in the Victorian era, as one of the sexiest man alive. Everyone wanted to be like him, so he invented the vinegar diet, which he drank with water or with potatoes soaked in vinegar in an attempt to flush away the fat.
