If you have to (if all else fails)-try the every other day diet- eat nothing one day, only water and calorie free drinks and gum, and the next day eat as your normally would ( the trick to this diet, is the next day you only would ususally eat your normal calorie intake and the span of the 2 day diet would be divide the calories in half. Example day 1 o calories and day 2 1200 calories then divide this by 2 and then the past two days you only have 600 calories)
I know you said some of these diets were safer than others, but these two sound incredibly unhealthy! You need to eat a variety of "regular" food to get all the nutrients your body needs, (vitamin supplements don't cut it, your body absorbs nutrients much better from food) and you need to eat at regular intervals (at least 3 meals a day!) to keep your metabolism level. If you go a long time without food or drastically cut your calorie intake, your body will go into "starvation mode" and will start burning less calories and storing more fat, because it doesn't know when it's going to get food again!
Amethyst's ideas sound much more healthy! And remember, if you do a "crash diet" like the Hollywood juice diet, you may lose some weight initially, but you can't stay on that diet forever, and you'll likely gain the weight back when you go back to eating normal food. To keep the weight off, you need a lifestyle change -- incorporate more exercise and healthy eating into your every day routine!
Hope that helps and good luck!
