The global prevalence of obesity is alarmingly high and is impacting both developed and underdeveloped countries, beyond the borders of ethnicity, sex, and age. On the other hand, the global interest in dieting has increased, and people are obsessed with certain fad diets, assuming them as a magic bullet for their long-term problems. A fad diet is a popular dietary pattern known to be a quick fix for obesity. These diets are quite appealing due to the proposed claims, but the lack of scientific evidence is a big question mark. Such diets are often marketed with specific claims that defy the basic principles of biochemistry and nutritional adequacy. These diets may have protective effects against obesity and certain chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and certain cancers. Limited evidence exists to support the proposed claims; rather certain studies suggest the negative health consequences of long-term adherence to such dietary patterns. Many fad diets have emerged in the previous few decades. This review article will explore the current evidence related to the health impacts of some most popular diets: Atkins diet, ketogenic diet, Paleolithic diet, Mediterranean diet, vegetarian diet, intermittent fasting and detox diet.
全球肥胖患病率高得惊人，且不受种族、性别和年龄限制，正在影响发达国家和不发达国家。另一方面，全球对节食的兴趣增加了，人们痴迷于某些时尚饮食，将其视为解决自身长期问题的灵丹妙药。时尚饮食是一种流行的饮食模式，被认为是治疗肥胖的快速解决方案。这些饮食因其所宣称的功效而颇具吸引力，但缺乏科学证据是一个大问号。此类饮食的营销往往带有特定宣称，这些宣称违背了生物化学和营养充足性的基本原则。这些饮食可能对肥胖以及某些慢性疾病如心血管疾病、代谢综合征和某些癌症具有保护作用。支持这些宣称的证据有限；相反，某些研究表明长期坚持此类饮食模式会对健康产生负面影响。在过去几十年中出现了许多时尚饮食。这篇综述文章将探讨与一些最流行饮食的健康影响相关的现有证据：阿特金斯饮食法、生酮饮食、旧石器时代饮食、地中海饮食、素食饮食、间歇性禁食和排毒饮食。
