The British Dietetic Association (BDA) has recently released its annual five worst celebrity diet list to the public.

The diets to avoid in 2012 include ‘The Baby Food diet’ that involves eating nothing but 14 jars of pureed or baby food every day. The BDA says that the diet has much less fibre and texture and eating baby food is socially isolating.

The list also includes ‘The Raw Food diet’ involving raw uncooked food and non-homogenised dairy products and ‘Blood Group diet’ that claims to have different nutrients classified based on the blood type of the person.

The Alcorexia/Drunkorexia diet includes eating less alcohol during the week and drink alcohol to compensate. BDA says that this diet will leave a person weak, tired, have no energy and the person is also likely to become very irritable very soon. Alcohol has little nutrition other than calories, it said.

The Dukan diet plan is a complex diet plan that begins with 72 high-protein foods for quick weight loss, followed by pure protein days alternating with proteins accompanied by vegetables. Tehird phase is consolidation where there is an increase in intake of other food types and the final stabilization phase.
