Hong Kong Nutritionists Society said nearly 40 percent of residents had tried popular weight-loss diets. The Society urges the public to seek advice from professionals before starting these diets.
Between March and May, the Hong Kong Nutritionists Society, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong Metropolitan University surveyed 916 residents.
They found almost 40 percent had tried popular weight-loss diets, with the most popular being the 16:8 intermittent fasting programme, followed by low-carbohydrate diets, and then high-protein plans.
But less than 30 percent of interviewees consulted a professional for nutrition information. The society said people often put their trust in online informationand that can lead to health problems.
