In college I went on the Ramon noodles diet, 2 - 3 packs of them a day...saved me an ass of money and I lost 50 lbs in a semester...

Was eating for the entire day on about 27 cents

NOTE: It essentially was a heavily restricted diet (severe limitation of food intake), which is fine for short term weight loss (smoking also helped with increase in metabolism and a curbing of appetite). To lose weight and keep it off you have to exercise alot (the increase in muscle increases your metabolism) and eat right, takes a long time (took me up to a year before I got in good physical shape after having gone to pot ).
