Sometimes, people start to follow certain diets for no seemingly obvious reason. Neither do they have a medical condition nor a religion that requires it. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a vegitarian or vegan philospphy behind it, either.
No, they justify their choice by refering to celebrities, such as Geri Halliwell and Gwyneth Paltrow, who launch arbitrary diets on their blogs and their followers tend to embrace them uncritically.
Not very wise, according to many doctors, who strictly warn against such irresponsible impulsiveness as potential health risks.
Also, random diets have been "prescribed" by unregistered nutritionists or people pretending to be nutritionists without having the necessary credentials.
Sometimes, people following such faddy diets claim to have experienced a certain health improvement, but as this is hard to measure, it could therefore be attributed to wishful thinking, the placebo effect and what they expect the diet to do with them.
Instead, the real experts urge them to seek advice from a qualified dietician.
