2020: If your New Year resolution is to lose some weight, avoid fad diets,
because they don't work and can be harmful, says NHS England's top doctor.
Diet pills, "tea-toxes" and appetite suppressant
products are no quick fix, says Prof Stephen Powis, NHS medical director.
Products making this claim can have side-effects, including
diarrhoea and heart issues, he warns.
Getting in shape safely takes time and requires eating
sensibly, and exercise.
As the public gets ready for New Year's Eve, Prof Powis also
warned of the dangers of "party drips" or quick fix hangover cures.
Last year, model Kendall Jenner was hospitalised following a
bad reaction to a nutrient therapy IV drip, made up of saline solution,
magnesium, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin C.
In extreme cases, regularly resorting to drips for hangover
cures can cause nausea, liver damage, or death due to a toxic overdose of
vitamin A.
