Werewolf diet
Werewolf Diet
The Werewolf Diet (pronunciation: /ˈwɛrˌwʊlf daɪət/), also known as the Lunar Diet or Moon Diet, is a fad diet that is based on the lunar cycle. The diet suggests that individuals can lose weight and detoxify their bodies by fasting or partially fasting during certain phases of the moon.
Etymology
The term "Werewolf Diet" is derived from the mythical creature, the Werewolf, which is said to transform during the full moon. The diet's name is a metaphorical reference to the transformation that the diet promises its followers.
Method
The Werewolf Diet involves fasting or eating only specific foods during certain phases of the moon. There are two versions of the diet: the basic moon diet and the extended moon diet. The basic moon diet involves a 24-hour fast during the full moon or new moon. The extended moon diet involves a more complex regimen of fasting and eating specific foods during different phases of the moon.
