Statistics show that approximately one-third of adults in the United States are overweight. Therefore, obesity has received increasing attention from society as a whole. Last year, the US spent over $46 billion on weight-loss foods and textbooks alone. Among these expenditures, some bizarre weight-loss methods have emerged.
Hollywood Law
This weight loss method promises to help participants lose 10 pounds or more in just two days. During these 48 hours, participants cannot drink anything else but a specially formulated juice. The advertising slogan for this bizarre weight loss method is "Give your body, mind, and spirit a vacation."
Cabbage Method
The person offering this low-fat, high-fiber diet promises that dieters can lose 10 pounds if they drink cabbage soup for seven consecutive days. During the diet, people can also eat other things, such as bananas and skim milk one day, and beef and tomatoes the next.

This method is very simple. Dieters can eat a very simple breakfast and plenty of chicken soup every day; the amount of chicken soup consumed is unlimited. However, it's just chicken soup; absolutely no noodles or similar ingredients can be added. Do this every day for a week, and you will see good weight loss results.
