These 5 celebrity food regimes were just ripped to shreds by a top authority on diets

After a Christmas period filled with food, alcohol, and indulgence, many of us promise ourselves that we'll try to lose some weight in the new year.

It debunks the diets' supposed methodology, suggesting that some "health" trends sometimes do more harm than good.

Sian Porter, a consultant dietitian for the BDA, said: "As practising dietitians, we hear it all when it comes to the latest health and weight loss diets. In reality, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
