Israeli Army diet[edit]

Delete - looks like the regimen for Yet Another Fad Diet. Unencyclopedic -- no potential for expansion. FreplySpang (talk) 05:20, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the rewrite, CapitalistRoadster. But I still think there are a group of diets that are exactly the same (except for the specific foods), and they should all be merged/redirected under [[Fad diets] or dieting. FreplySpang (talk) 20:07, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This will probably get a bunch of merge votes, but since there are no sources in the article I caution that merge without verification would be foolish. Poor scholarship is probably WPs greatest failing. Quale 05:43, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I agree with you. It may surprise some to know that The Israeli Army Diet, Mayo Clinic Diet, and Heart Foundation Three-Day Diet have nothing to do with their claimed sources. Svest 06:20, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not encyclopaedic. Megan1967 06:37, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - rather inappriate nonsense I see; In this form that actually makes sense. I have heard about similar fad diets (someone should definitely write an article about them) - Skysmith 10:49, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep fad diet. Klonimus 09:04, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The Israeli Army diet was a popular fad diet in the 1970's. My father and I both went on it at various stages. There were four stages of eating apples, cheese, chicken and salad. While we lost weight, the weight loss was temporary. I have expanded the article explaining the background and outlining the nutritional criticism of it as a fad diet.
