Health and fitness series--3. Popular dietary fads: how should health professionals respond?

Many magazines and health books for lay people extol the virtues of diets that produce weight loss, often rapidly and using unconventional régimes. In this article a dietitian summarises the basic physiology of weight loss and discusses three such types of diet: food-combining; "detox"; and the Atkins or high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, including their physiological flaws and possible adverse side-effects.

Nutrition and athletic performance.

Athletes and physicians alike are often poorly informed about nutrition. Myths abound, some of them potentially harmful. Common errors include a disproportionately high intake of proteins (especially by weight lifters), vitamins and minerals in excess of the recommended dietary allowances, poorly designed weight gain or loss programs, and various food fads.

Dietary fads and gut mysteries versus nutrition with a grain of common sense.

Although nutritional self-help literature is directed at the general public, which usually allows the authors to evade critical review by the medical and scientific community, both doctors and lay people need to read with discernment and educated scepticism when major health claims are made. Many published claims are based in misconceptions and questionable logic, and it is important to be aware of the inconsistencies and wrong conclusions commonly found in dietary fads. Patients' questions and dietary practices over the past few years have helped the present authors become familiar with certain food fads and nutrition 'self-help' books, and develop responses to popular gut topics such as food allergies, food combinations and commercial food supplements. The authors also discuss whether fads can deliver on their promises and what to tell patients.
