In case youre looking for unhealthy eating fads to avoid, the British Dietetic Association (BDA) has released its annual list of the five worst celebrity diets.
Among them: The Baby Food diet, favored by Lady GaGa. This program involves eating little more than 14 jars of pureed or baby food every day. As disgusting as it sounds, it is even less healthy. On its website, the BDA says the diet has little fiber and that eating baby food is socially isolating. Not to mention bizarre.
The Raw Food diet is a big fat hit with Demi Moore and Natalie Portman, and it allows followers to eat only raw, uncooked foods and nonhomogenized dairy products.
The Blood Group diet claims that blood type is the most important factor in determining a healthy diet. This fad recommends distinct diets for each blood type. Apparently the blood-based diet has drawn Courtney Cox.
And if those were not weird enough, the Alcorexia/Drunkorexia diet includes consuming little alcohol during the week to compensate for drinking more on the weekends. No celebrities are on record as following this particular plan. On purpose, that is.
The Dukan diet plan is a complex plan that begins with the dieter eating 72 high-protein foods for quick weight loss. That step is followed by ingesting pure protein on some days and alternating on others with proteins accompanied by vegetables. The third phase involves consolidating the food groups and the final phase is too incomprehensible for this reporter to decipher, much less explain. Fans of Kate Middleton or Jennifer Lopez will be in starlit company if they jump on this fad bandwagon.
