carbohydrate diets welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 health
fads of all time help cleanse our liver
and our blood and act as a detoxifier
and natural detoxifier for this list
we’re focusing on the trends of past and
present that purported to promote clean
living weight loss and health for better
or worse there’s a couple other things
but it really is more related to getting
rid of toxins than it is that consuming
something to eat we are not focusing on
brand names or any licensed products and
services so programs like Weight
Watchers and the Atkins diet need not
apply
and neither do Zumba or CrossFit number
10 alternative health bracelets with
claims they improve balance strength and
flexibility but no one knows if they
actually work allegedly based on Chinese
medicine these ionised pieces of metal
jewelry became both a fashion statement
and a sought-after way to feel healthy
and grounded by claiming they helped
balance the Chi energy in your body
basically we’re selling of energy energy
in a badge while many found that they
indeed could feel a difference in their
bodies and minds through skin contact
with this magic metal it’s made with
volcanic ash and minerals researchers
everywhere balked at the effectiveness
of this trend citing the placebo effect
as the true cause of any health
improvements
okay I’m using all my might I can’t like
that what is that amazing number nine
the Mediterranean diet with 50% less
heart disease 20% lower rates of cancer
and get this almost no dementia with
those kinds of numbers I’m all about the
Mediterranean diet not only delicious
but also nutritious this diet typical of
countries like Spain Greece and southern
Italy has been studied for its health
benefits and lucky for all you lovers of
things like fish and red wine this one
does not leave you wanting touted as
high in fiber and good fats and low in
bad fats this menu includes olive oil as
a key ingredient which replaces
unhealthy fats like butter and lard in
cooking of course those living in the
Mediterranean are healthy not just
because of their diet but also because
of their generally active lifestyles so
this one is more of an all-encompassing
change but you get a heart-healthy glass
of red wine each day so Cheers number 8
the raw food diet what do you mean they
don’t cook the food here that’s why they
call it raw the raw food movement people
love it
sting Demi Sonier this dieting trend
claims that essential nutrients are lost
when food is subjected to high
temperatures meaning that cooking your
meals is a counterproductive way to
enjoy the benefits of a healthy
lifestyle he’s as much fruit and as many
vegetables as you possibly want offering
both vegan and animal based options this
diets popularity probably up to the
sales of blenders and food dehydrators
thanks to support from Hollywood
celebrities like Demi Moore and Woody
Harrelson a number one thing to improve
their diet I would say to increase the
amount of raw organic food that you
consume raw foodism is promoted as an
ideal way to not only stay healthy and
fit
but also as a way to keep looking
youthful and judging by how good the
celebrity spokespeople look they may be
on to something

into the shape of a turkey yeah so good
so gorgeous number seven exercise video
games stepping onto the balance board in
the Guitar Hero like mini game isn’t
very difficult nor are some of the
beginner yoga stretches but some
exercises like planking or jackknife
crunches will bring on the breath who
says video games are for couch potatoes
these virtual interactive video games
proved you could get fit while avoiding
the gym and having fun at the same time
with a variety of workout games to
choose from ranging from actual
simulated sports to games like Wii Fit
to upbeat choreographed dances these
games broke new ground in the areas of
both fitness and gaming alike they’ve
even paved the way for today’s fitness
phone apps which can help you chart your
calories record your workouts and reach
your fitness goals wherever you go you
can even share it with your friends and
let the world know how you’re doing I
might not do that just yet number six
boot camp workouts we’ve got six moves
thirty seconds each and then we’re gonna
repeat the whole thing at ease soldier
this workout is not for the faint of
heart
focusing on pushing participants beyond
their physical limits push go this is
day one and what in boot camp fitness
classes took the world by storm as a
method to get in shape through
challenging and intense physical
activity with CrossFit being one of the
more popular variations on this fad
we’ll see
that’s the rest
based on the type of training militaries
go through bootcamp classes use cardio
exercise weight training and a variety
of drills organized in intervals as well
as social support and camaraderie to get
their trainees into peak physical
condition five four three two one
okay shake those legs out roll those
shoulders number five the Master Cleanse
okay nobody said this was tasty alright
this liquid concoction of lemon juice
cayenne pepper and maple syrup may leave
a bad taste in your mouth
but it’s set to be one of the fastest
ways to lose weight and detoxify the
body I’m actually feeling good right now
on the Master Cleanse I’m feeling good I
have energy it’s just the whole
psychological thing and I can’t eat food
originally created in the 1940s the
Master Cleanse juice fast regained its
popularity in the 2000s with Hollywood
celebrities like Beyonce using it to
slim down quickly for movie roles and
not long ago beyonce knowles told oprah
that something called the master
cleanser helped her lose 20 pounds i did
a fast master cleanser but for 14 days
described by nutritionists as one of the
most extreme forms of crash dieting this
health trend should never be undertaken
on a regular basis and not only because
you’ll gain the weight back once you
start eating normally so you’re not
drinking you’re not smoking weed you’re
not I’m drinking and smoking weed but
I’m on a cleanse I’m not psychotic
number four low carb diets there’s a
diet that seems to be changing people’s
lives for the better with obesity on the
rise
many people worldwide have turned to
this way of managing their waist lines
depending on the diet carbohydrate
consumption is restricted
while higher fat foods like meat and low
carb foods like vegetables are favored
one things I love to do there is eat my
celery my red peppers a little bit of
carrots with some guacamole dip and
that’s just a great low carb Airy
satiating snack used by some to treat
obesity and diabetes as early as the
18th century and brought back to the
mainstream in the 20
the concept of low-carb has now been
absorbed into the minds of food
consumers and restaurateurs everywhere
prompting many menus and food products
to now feature low or no carb items pate
earns a living by sharing his passion
for low carb recipes what we’ve got here
is a basic spaghetti bolognaise without
the pasta we use zucchini instead number
three hot yoga we make it that hot so
that you can warm up the muscles and so
that you can really it’s kind of working
your body from the inside out it’s kind
of like a shower from the inside out you
better bring a towel to this humid
workout designed to mimic the
environment of India where yoga was
invented hot yoga offers classes held at
temperatures of around 105 degrees why
while proponents believe the amped up
heat mixed with the challenging poses
form the perfect combo to sweat out
toxins and stretch muscles to their full
potential now everybody put sit bones on
the ground and bring your walk sticks up
over your think globe for a pose called
monkey with shattered spine variations
of this type of yoga also exists with
modified heat variations including
Bikram Forest Yoga try balance yoga and
power yoga but all are designed to keep
you sweating throughout the session
while remaining zen doubt it has just
led me to appreciate so much being
healthy and living a healthy lifestyle
and feeling healthy number two the Paleo
diet the Paleo diet promises you’ll
easily lose your unwanted pounds and it
could ward off debilitating diseases
also called the caveman diet this primal
diet strives to imitate the
hunter-gatherer origins of the human
species
citing agricultural advancements as the
leading cause of health and digestive
problems felt by people in the modern
era high in fruits veggies and lean
meats this food regimen also seeks to
eliminate grains legumes and dairy as
well as processed foods and sugar so
basically it’s nothing in a wrapper
supporters of this diet have claimed
their weight and overall health and Peru
as a result however critics cite the
fact that the lifespan of cavemen was
much shorter as proof that changes in
human diets since then have increased
our longevity before we reveal our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions Paris for example we prefer
quality and this is the the enjoying
aspect of the food his first tip smaller
portions mean fewer calories so you can
use this as a meal replacement if you’re
on a juicing program or you can just add
this as a supplement to your day another
aspect is just actually being able to
feel the ground your foot will give
senses to your brain about how you’re
running and how likely you should be
landing we’re going to be making a colon
cleansing smoothie this smoothie is
going to keep your colon very squeaky
squeaky clean
number one the gluten-free diet somebody
just told you you probably shouldn’t eat
gluten you’re like oh I guess if you’re
new clued glutamic bad man and I’m
not eating it for sufferers of celiac
disease this diet can be a life-changing
way to enjoy food while avoiding tummy
pains but recently many people without
this disease have claimed gluten-free is
the only way to go it helps you have
more energy it helps you feel better and
it certainly helps control your weight
gluten is a protein found in most wheat
products and can cause intestinal
trouble for anyone who is intolerant
gaining popularity in the treatment of
autism as well as the overall gut health
of many individuals you eliminate dairy
and wheat from your diet and suddenly
you don’t see signs of autism how what
is the connection explained there’s a
major gut brain connection in autism
that I think is under recognized this is
one health trend that’s on the rise
however by avoiding gluten you may be
avoiding vital vitamins minerals and
fiber as well so it’s best to always
consult your doctor when trying a new
diet regime
you maintain a gluten-free diet I do
indeed and what is gluten okay
