Alternative Dieting

If you are thinking of dieting, perhaps you should become a Lifefoodarian or maybe even a Breatharian. A lifefoodarian eats no "meat, dairy, wheat, certain starches, cooked foods and many conventional proteins". Breatharians promote "living on light". Ha. 

How did I find out about these intriguing diets? I was reading Healthbolt and the "Morning News Run" had a headline about a child being confiscated from his health nut father. Here was the brief description:

"The baby son of a urine-drinking East Village health guru to the stars has been taken from his father’s care because the dad failed to bring the boy to a doctor for a fractured ankle."

So, of course the urine-drinking health guru caught my attention and I had to dig deeper. So... riiiight, these diets sound completely reasonable. Judging by the accounts and articles I glanced over, everytime the so-called leaders were watched by people, they could no longer live "off the light" and ended up eating.  Or their followers died. This is kooky as drinking the magic koolaid. Or magic urine.
