How to find out if the diet that we “looked at” in the magazine at the hairdresser works or not? A group of supernerds, or some very young scientists from the Sense About Science group , have tried to develop a test, with a group of questions in which, if your diet responds to one of the following descriptions, then you don’t have to write it down, but turn the page and relax with the gossip.
If your diet doesn’t match these descriptions, it may be a serious diet instead!
THE TEST FOR EFFECTIVE DIETS
1) Says it strengthens your immune system.
2) It is a detox diet, i.e. a detoxifying diet, or a diet that eliminates toxins, waste, etc. 
3) It is all based on superfoods, or on some particular foods with “slimming power”
4) It is a diet that cleanses you, with an antioxidant effect, and so on.
5) He says it causes you to lose a lot of kilos, a miracle, fat melting, a marvelous diet, etc.
6) It says they make you lose weight faster than other diets.

Perfect, if your diet matches at least one of these points, you can let it go .
In fact, all six points refer to captivating formulas that are not scientifically proven or demonstrable, basically hoaxes, words meant only to fascinate you. Often the newspapers and the blogs of women ‘s weeklies make a vulgar copying without verifying the truthfulness of the news, often press releases of companies that want to sell their diets or their diet products. Or, they create a non-existent diet case, like the news about singer Lily Allen, who has lost a lot of weight with dance and gymnastics and who allegedly stated in an interview that she does not eat regular meals when on tour, but eats chips often, also because she dances all day.
From here to “Lily Allen’s diet of chips” said not in an ironic tone, but wondering if it was true that chips made you lose weight, the step was very short. So whenever you smell like harmful diets, take the test!
