The Cabbage Soup Diet was a biggie for me too... not only was I sick of the soup but I still have a hard time handling fructose from all that fruit and bananas. Good thing we don't have to eat a lot of high fructose fruits now.

As a teen, we decided to try the 'Eat one item until you are so sick of it you'll never want it again' diet. Basically, we would pinpoint the bad foods and eat only that until we couldn't stand it anymore with the goal of ridding ourselves of cravings for that food for forever. On a particular Saturday we had ice cream day. 3 of us had shakes for breakfast, sundaes for morning snack, blizzards for lunch and so on. We even purchased a big 5 gallon tub to split. By the end of the day we were sick. We did the same the next weekend with pizza. As you can guess we accomplished nothing more than a huge increase in calories for those attempted days... and probably a little comic relief for our parents who were good sports and let us try it.
