POPCORN DIET
This diet could easily be called the Mystery Diet instead of the Popcorn Diet, because the origins are unknown! The premise is simple- only popcorn is to be consumed. Naturally, popcorn is needed in large quantities, so stash away to begin the diet.
Foods Emphasized: Popcorn
Foods Discouraged: Anything but popcorn, and salted, buttery popcorn is not allowed
Premise and Guidelines: This may be good for the dieter with a one-track mind. The Popcorn Diet calls to mind the other singular food-centered diets, like the famous Ice Cream Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet or Chocolate Diet. We wondered if the Redenbachers had anything to do with this?
At least the diet is simple and easy to follow; eat only popcorn. Of course, there is a little bit of restriction; butter and salt are not allowed. Only hot-air popped natural popcorn is permitted. This diet will definitely not involve much stimulation on the taste-buds, so one really must like bland popcorn to participate in the diet. The appeal of this diet is that it sounds like it is unrestrictive and fun, but eating only popcorn day after day will probably make cause even the greatest popcorn-lover to bore of the airy kernels.
This diet is also unhealthy if used long-term, because it lacks a well-rounded nutrient supply. You could also regain all the weight you lost once you stop, due to bingeing on other foods or eating a normal diet. The best way to benefit is to incorporate popcorn into your diet as a healthy snack.
