Cucumber Water--A Refreshing Addition To Any Diet
2007-07-20 02:00:00 This is not a "crazy diet" but it is a delicious way to perk up all the water that you will drink (and should drink anyway) while dieting.

You decide what you'd like to use. Personally, I am a tap water drinker and recycle old water bottles.

I'll let them battle it out on their own. There is also the "Hollywood Cookie Diet."The basic concept of the various cookie diets are:1. Eating approximately 6 of the various versions of "cookies" which are really high fiber, nutritious bars (contingent on the manufacturer).2. Eating a "sensible meal" at night.3. Drinking boatloads of water with each cookieOne thing of note is that these are very low calorie... More About: Crazy , Cookie
