The fad diets, much publicised by stars such as Geri Halliwell and Jennifer Anniston, generally involve eliminating certain foods such as carbohydrates, dairy products or fat.
In a survey of 205 British GPs, conducted in June by Medix UK on behalf of the industry-funded Grain Information Service, 90% said that they believed women are putting their health at risk by adopting unhealthy eating patterns without medical or qualified nutritional advice.
The doctors said that self-imposed diets could cause problems such as nutrient deficiency, osteoporosis and immune problems.
