While diet season is in full swing, the jury is still out on whether trendy diets — like the ketogenic eating plan, intermittent fasting, calorie restriction and the Sirtfood diet, which helped British superstar Adele lose 45kg — are safe and suitable.

Topping the list of eating plans that promise quick results is the keto diet, a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carb diet that forces the body to burn fat rather than carbohydrates for fuel.

Adele's Sirtfood diet includes sirtuin-rich foods like red wine, chocolate, capers and blueberries that help with weight loss. Dietitians and doctors have warned that such trendy diets may not be sustainable, hold a risk of long-term nutritional deficiency, potentially lower the metabolism and could bring on weight gain from people not being able to maintain the diet.

But followers of diets like keto, who have shed kilograms quickly, have nothing but praise for them. Durban keto coach Lauren Aaliyah Kolia said she lost 25kg after adopting the eating plan five years ago. "It literally changed my life. I want to understand what risk there is in eating wholesome food, which people have eaten for generations," she said.
