This was in an article about diets to avoid -- this apparently is an honest to goodness diet plan -- one would definitely lose weight!



Breatharian diet

This one takes the cake. (Oh, but only if it did.) It's a diet that promotes living on air alone, no food or water. Hmm. That is pretty contrary to what I learned in undergraduate and graduate school while studying nutrition. I believe our bodies will only survive a few days without water and a few weeks without food.
The mumbo jumbo on this diet is that you align yourself to the universe and you won't need water or food. You know what this sounds like to me? Starvation.

You will lose weight. Problem is you will be losing water weight and muscle which is not what people usually want to lose. Most people are trying to trim fat. Not to mention when you eventually start eating and drinking again you will gain all the weight back.
