The family of a woman who suffered brain damage following a "detox" diet yesterday warned of the dangers of such regimes. Dawn Page received more than £800,000 in an out-of-court settlement after a diet in which she increased her water intake and decreased the amount of salt she consumed.
Page, 52, a mother of two, from Faringdon, Oxfordshire, began vomiting severely soon after starting the "hydration diet" in 2001. She was left with epilepsy and a brain injury affecting her memory, concentration and ability to speak normally. She gave up her job as conference organiser and her family says she will not work again.

Learning to change ones eating and exercise habits to a more healthier way is best. I have tried dieting and lose a lot of weight and then gain it back in no time.

Good nutrition and walking is the way to go and the obese may need medical assistance.

A placebo can also help.
