Single Food Diets

The ‘single food’ diet is an extreme diet choice. On one of these diets you eat only one food, and nothing else. The grapefruit diet, the Jello diet, and the water diet are just a few. Probably any food will work, if you stick to it. A diet consisting solely of ice cream, for instance, would make you ill because of all the fat, and you would not be able to eat much. All of these leave you seriously deficient in vitamins and minerals, even with multi-vitamin supplements. They have serious effects on your digestive tract, which was works best when provided with a variety of foods and lots of fiber. A healthy sustainable diet requires a variety of foods.
