GETTY

While its common knowledge that the best way to lose weight is a healthy diet and regular exercise crash diets continue to make bank with their promise of a quick fix.

The latest slimming fad, dubbed the General Motors diet, promises followers that theyll lose a stone in just one week but it could be more dangerous than its worth.

Even though the General Motors diet was invented in the eighties, it has made a resurgence of late with the promise of great weight loss.

The concept of the diet is to eat different food groups on different days.

On the first day, slimmers are advised to fruit load which means eating only water-based fruits.

The next day the plan introduces a baked potato and some vegetables with the remainder of the days following a similar format until eventually introducing lean meats.

The diet contains only 1,000 calories on average just half of the recommended 2,000 daily calorie intake for women and dieters have reported significant weight loss in the first three days.

Amazingly, these reality TV stars have lost more than 40st between them... all thanks to healthy eating and exercise

Due to the low calorie intake, people following the plan are advised to only participate in low-intensity exercise during the week like yoga.

The weight comes back after veering from the given rules of any diet. And the GM Diet is no different.

Some may be drawn to it because they may feel out of control around food and want to stick to a rigid plan.

"Yet after breaking one of the diet rules, people will feel guilty and ashamed, and may then start another diet which leads to a vicious cycle.

Rhiannon added that reduced carbohydrate intake and water weight are the reasons for the quick weight loss but a healthy, balanced diet should be encouraged.

She also pointed out that the plan is much harder to follow than most people assume meaing it can be tricky to stick to.

Health experts advise against following crash diets because they aren't sustainable long-term.

Instead you should stick tohealthy eating and find an exercise that you enjoy so you can steadily get fitter.
