Thinking of trying one of the newest celebrity diets? Consider this:
Stars such as J.Lo have used the Dukans Diet
According to an article by Dr. Harold Katz of Therabreath.com, popular diets and eating habits celebrities use may be harmful not just for the body, but for the breath as well.
Katz reports, “According to the British Dietetic Association (BDA), reducing your caloric intake to a regimen based solely on protein, cabbage, or even baby food can give your breath a tinge of halitosis.”
Halitosis, or bad breath, can be caused by not eating certain food groups such as fruits and vegetables, Katz explains.
The article shows how the well-known Dukans diet proves this effect. The Dukans diet is centered on the consumption of protein, mostly eggs and meat. According to Katz, this can lead to bad breath being formed in not only the mouth, but in the lungs as well. There are many popular celebrity diets in use right now similar to the Dukans diet, which involve a focus on certain food groups, while leaving out others.
The doctor goes on to explain how when the body is not given enough carbohydrates, it is true it will lose weight quickly, but that this method is not scientifically proven as safe by organizations such as the BDA.
Diets such as the Dukans diet can result in bad breath because the foods focused on (eggs, cheese, and meat) can make a coat of protein on both the teeth and tongue.
The article ends with an overall explanation of how other diet fads such as eating cabbage soup or baby food can cause bad breath by altering the body’s metabolism and leaving bits of food in the mouth.
Katz finishes with,”Avoiding bad breath may be as simple as eating moderate portions taken from all five food groups, brushing regularly, and rinsing with a specialty breath freshening product. ”

Nutritionists advise people to have a well-balanced daily diet. A well-balanced daily diet consists of foods that belong to each of the five food groups (fruit and vegetables, non-dairy sources of protein, fatty foods, dairy products and starchy foods). If eating isn’t properly done, the over-all health of a person may be affected negatively. Too much or too less of something is not good!
