Hospital Diet
The hospital diet may be considered a fad diet, as it presumes to help individuals lose more than ten pounds in a week. Its dietary menu features a random collection of fruits, vegetables and soup and outlines various exclusions and restrictions, depending on the meal. Foods are chosen based on calorie content, as the diet is thought to assist weight loss by drastically reducing calories. However, this diet is not meant for long term sustainability, as the dieter will likely gain back any lost weight when he or she returns to regular eating habits.
