Popular Fad Diets
People are willing to try the strangest diets to shed a few pounds. Why not just eat less junk food and move more often? Regardless, not even one of the top 10 fad diets is appealing enough to make me want to try it!
Perhaps to improve their beach appeal, people are searching for “South Beach Diet” and “Atkins Diet” over 2000 times each per day. Still, “Diet Pills” remain today’s most popular online diet topic, with over 2800 searches per day for those easy-to-swallow exercise replacements. Additional diets I'd rather not try (but apparently others do) include the “Mediterranean Diet”, the “Mayo Clinic Diet”, and the “Grapefruit Diet”.
While the effectiveness of fad diets are doubted by many, few would question the unhealthiness of several diets that did not make the top 10 list: “Chocolate Diet” (28 searches per day), “Water Diet” (59), “Barf Diet” (81), and “Crash Diets” (44).
To see a sampling of the raw phrases used to create this list, check out these fad diet search phrases.
