1.My mother showed me the nutrition facts on a jar of Crisco, and told me that, because there were no carbs, this would be an okay thing to eat. -Dani Nordin http://zenkitchen.blogspot.com
2. ANY ‘cleanse’ diet, where you eat only one food group or drink a concoction for a few days to a few weeks with the hopes of ‘cleansing your body of toxins’. (A lot of people responded with this answer, thankfully none of them were in the ‘Best’ category.)
3. The worst I ever tried was the Atkins' diet circa 1973. NO carbs, NO vegetables, lots of meat and fat. You have to check your urine a couple of times a day. In three days, I got so spaced out on it, it lost my way to the bathroom in my one-bedroom apartment. I was craving salad. –Stephanie Fox (Atkins was one of the more popular answers also…thank goodness people are starting to get their wits about them!)
4. The worst diet advice I ever received was to diet super strict on the weekdays but pig out on the weekends – Sheryl Clifton
5. To a young bulimic girl (me)"count every calorie and eat 500 calories a day" (I paid 700 dollars for this advice at diet center and lost exactly seven pounds.) -Gina Parris www.repackyourbackpack.com
6. One day after a water aerobics class, the instructor was talking to us about what she eats. Very sound diet: boneless skinless chicken, veggies, brown rice. Then she offered this little tidbit: If you overeat one evening, drink a cup of smooth move tea to help the food move through your system faster. I was shocked to have a fitness professional--and she is a very good water aerobics instructor--suggest that her students take a step toward bulimia. Needless to say, I didn't try that little tip -Jennifer Cadiente
7. The worst diet advice I ever got was from a friend who said "stop eating bread, pasta and cereal" -Michelle Spelman http://quickcountfootball.blogspot.com/
8. The worst advice I ever followed was from Oprah's famed fitness guru, Bob Green. He said "don't weigh yourself," as no matter what the result, you'll eat more -Judy Nichols
9. I read “Even if you eat an entire chocolate cake, you’d probably only gain about a pound.” In context, the author wanted to prevent people from beating themselves up for falling off the diet wagon. That small bit of trivia has sabotaged my diet efforts ever since! -Susan Hawkins http://www.theshopsat24seven.com/
10. I have a couple of friends who follow every trend in dieting and health care they come across. Their favorite is a fruit-juice fast. It's supposed to make them lose weight and "cleanse them of toxins". Basically, they consume nothing but citrus juice for a few days. Unsurprisingly, the only real result my friends ever see from their semi-annual juice fast is fatigue and irritability. -Libbie Mistretta
11. The "fat-free" food diet - jellybeans and pretzels. Yes, teenage girls will eat this because the food says "fat free!" - Jeanne Sager

#4 is interesting, because I remember when The Rock was interviewed by Rolling Stone he said that the ate well 6 days a week and then just went nuts on the 7th day:
The Rock is throwing a party in his stomach. It happens only once a week. For the other six days, the Rock eats to create the body he wants and needs, as an athlete and a wrestler and an actor. On the seventh day, he eats whatever the hell he wants to. "Treat yourself, don't cheat yourself," says the man whose real name is Dwayne Johnson and who is both the main attraction of the World Wrestling Federation and, if his first starring movie role, in The Scorpion King, works out as he expects, Hollywood's new action hero. Still, on the one day in seven when the Rock rolls freely, and assuming he steers clear of Burger King ("Don't let me find a Burger King," he warns, and though you don't quite know what this warning means, you know to take it seriously), he has two constant desires.
(1) Pizza. Preferably from a mom-and-pop operation rather than a chain. His favorite toppings are pepperoni and ham-and-pineapple. But pizza pales against his passion for...
(2) Doughnuts. During such a day, the Rock will happily eat -- and he thinks there is nothing strange about this -- around eighteen doughnuts. "You've got to start off with a nice base of the glazed," he says of his Dunkin' Donuts fetish. "Then you can switch to the chocolate frosted and the chocolate-chocolate frosted, then the blueberry cake, then -- just for good measure -- you throw in a bear claw."
Just for good measure.
18 full-sized doughnuts in a single day!?!
That's just crazy.
WOW! That is crazy...I have a donut fetish myself, but I can't eat 18.
The downside to that article is people think they can eat like that and then look like The Rock.
As soon as you call something a 'treat' it's forbidden and then it's all you can think about. It's just food.
Eat it in moderation and get on with your life.
