Top 5 WORST celebrity diet trends to avoid in 2017: From teatoxes to diet pills, a panel of dieticians select the most dangerous A-list weight loss plans
The British Dietetic Association (BDA) has today revealed its much-anticipated annual list of celebrity diets to avoid in the New Year
The list includes diet pills, green juices, and so-called 'clean eating'
Always manicured, in top shape, with glowing skin - perfect celebrities seem to be bombarding us left, right and center.
So it seems only natural that mere mortals look to them for diet tips.
But experts warn some of the detoxes touted by A-listers are far from healthy - in fact, they are dangerous for your health.
Today, the British Dietetic Association (BDA) revealed its much-anticipated annual list of celebrity diets to avoid in the New Year.
The line-up this year includes clean eating, diet pills, teatoxes, the 6:1 diet, and green juices.
The BDA, founded in 1936, is the professional association and trade union for dietitians in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, comprising over 8,500 food and nutrition professionals.
They warn that there seems to have been a spike in recent years of people's fascination with food, health and fitness.
'With the New Year around the corner, the influx of even more weight loss blogs and social media feeds, diet books, nutrition 'experts' and celebrity-endorsed fitness DVDs on the market is inevitable,' Sian Porter, consultant dietitian and spokesperson for the BDA, said.
'All these options can make it overwhelming for people wanting to live a healthier lifestyle or lose weight.
'In this situation, it is definitely worth considering whether someone is simply profiting on your dreams and rather than shedding the pounds, all you're going to lose is your hard-earned cash.'
And so, to help you discern the good from the fad, the association has compiled the worst celebrity-backed diets they have come across in the run up to 2017:
1. Clean eating
Celebrity fans: Miranda Kerr and Jessica Alba are allegedly fans of this 'diet', and the Hemsley sisters, Madeline Shaw and Deliciously Ella reportedly advocate variations on this style of eating.
What's it all about? The idea is to avoid all processed foods and eat only 'clean' foods, by eliminating refined sugar, cooking from scratch, and choosing foods in their natural state.
However some extreme versions of clean eating will exclude gluten, grains, dairy, and even in some cases encourage a raw-food diet.
Experts' verdict: Leave the cleaning for your kitchen work surface, not your food!
Whilst it is beneficial to reduce refined sugar and limit processed food intake, the idea of foods being 'clean' and 'dirty' is concerning.
In some circumstances this way of thinking is a prelude to 'Orthorexia Nervosa' – an obsession with foods that the individual considers to be healthy, and elimination of any food that is deemed unhealthy.
In many cases, foods that are actually nutritionally beneficial are deemed as unhealthy such as those containing wholegrains, fruit and dairy, with no basis in scientific evidence.
Unless you have a medically diagnosed intolerance or allergy to these foods, there is no need to eliminate them and doing so could lead to deficiencies in your diet.
Moreover, often clean eating substitute products – such as coconut oil, and various syrups to sweeten foods – are as high in calories, no better nutritionally and more expensive too.
2. Diet pills*
Celebrity fans: Kim Kardashian and The Only Way Is Essex star, Sam Faier, have reportedly used diet pills to lose weight.
What's it all about? Many of these pills claim to keep fat from being absorbed by your body, or 'melt' fat.
Others claim to suppress appetite or boost metabolism.
Experts' verdict: Warning: danger!
Diet pills should never be taken without first consulting your GP, pharmacist or dietitian.
Even regulated weight loss medicines on prescription can have nasty side effects including diarrhea.
Alarmingly, there has been a rise in the number of diet pills for sale online.
These products are often unregulated and can contain substances not licensed for human consumption like pesticides and have proven to be fatal.
