A British woman has tried as many as 61 diets by the age of 45-years, according to a survey by the bread maker Warburtons.

2,000 British men and women were questioned during this poll. About 60% participants reported that their children had asked them not to buy bread, potatoes or certain fruits in the belief that these were unhealthy foods. In fact 50% of the respondents had even stopped giving their children these foods.

Diet Pills

Diet pills are flooding the market by millions. The positive side of diet pills to most people is that they achieve their objective of losing weight. Medical reviews are against the use of diet pills.

During the survey it was found that over 85% people did not know that calcium was an important part of their diets, with people below 26-years of age having the least amount of knowledge about the importance of calcium in their diets. 50% respondents were unaware that calcium was present in white bread. TV doctor Hilary Jones said, "All breads contribute a range of essential nutrients from protein and calcium to iron and B group vitamins."

Dr. Jones said, "An average of 61 diets over an adult lifetime could mean an awful lot of people have cut a significant amount of calcium out of their diet over the years especially if they've been avoiding calcium-rich food groups on a regular basis. It seems the British obsession with dieting could be having a detrimental effect on our nutritional intake, as many people lose sight of what constitutes a healthy balanced diet."
