With the improvement of people's living standards, obesity has become a major headache for urban dwellers. Statistics show that approximately one-third of adults in the United States are overweight. Undoubtedly, obesity significantly impacts people's health, and therefore, this issue has received increasing attention from society as a whole.
According to Forbes, the US spent over $6 billion last year on diet foods and diet books alone. Below are some of the strange diet methods popular across the US.

Cabbage soup diet
Those who offer this low-fat, high-fiber diet promise that dieters who drink cabbage soup for seven consecutive days can lose 10 pounds. During the diet, people can also eat other things, such as bananas and skim milk one day, and beef and tomatoes the next. Fans of this method claim it can even help you eliminate waste from your body while losing weight.
