    The other day on Twitter people were talking about the so-called Lemonade Diet. Originally made popular in 1976 by Stanley Burroughs, this out-dated diet was re-released and re-popularized in 2005 with a new, more modern look in the form of Peter Glickman’s book Lose Weight, Have More Energy, and Be Happier in 10 Days.
