The article, “5:2 diet journalist will eat a tapeworm for BBC Four show about parasites,” noted that Michael Mosley, who studied the two-days-a-week calorie-restriction diet in a Horizon documentary, gathered tapeworm cysts from an abattoir and swallowed them for the BBC Four show Infested.

Yourwellness Magazine explained that a low carb diet, such as the Atkins diet, emphasises the protein and fats in food. People following this diet can eat around one third of their daily calorie intake from carbs. Yourwellness Magazine pointed out that many fruits and vegetables are considered high in carbohydrates, so this diet can be incredibly bad for health and it limits meal options. Yourwellness Magazine asserted that the Mediterranean diet, on the other hand, relies heavily on an intake of antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetables, whole grains and heart-healthy olive oil.
