Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., recognizes that Hollywood is no stranger to diet fads

but educates us on the adverse effects of some of our favorite celebrity's extreme

diets. She focuses on 4 popular celebrity diets that we should avoid and she explains

what each diet lacks and how that could negatively effect our health, especially if

they become a lifestyle.

Wright explains:

"Following these diets can help you kick-start your diet and motivate you to transition and stick to a more balanced,

healthy diet. But following them for too long means you'll miss out on key nutrients."

Check out the table below to see these diets and the reasons to avoid them:

Diet	Reason
Paleo Diet	No dairy, many people get Vitamin D & Calcium that way; Low carbs may affect memory & mood.
