Alphabedining: /alfa be dyn ing/ Being a slave to fad dieting, Trixie had found a new regime to try. It was called alphabedining and basically you could order whatever you wanted as long as you ate fruits and vegetables in the alphabetical order of their names. So she would eat the apples, apricots or avocados first. Then the bananas, beans, beets next. By LMNO, she was usually full. At this rate, Trixie would never get to eat yams or zucchini again.

Gourmandate: /goÅrmändÄt/ Rudy has tried every diet that has come down the pike. The latest? The gourmandate. You eat as many dates as you possibly can on the theory that you overwhelm the digestive system so that it can’t possibly process the excess. Has he lost any weight? What do you think? Etymology: gourmand (a person who enjoys eating and often eats too much) + mandate (an official order or commission to do something) + date (a sweet, dark brown, fruit) Created by: artr.
