“…With the rising rate of obesity and the health consequences that come with it, interest in 'fad diets' have become more popular among the general population with internet searches for weight loss increasing between 2004 and 2018 [14][15][16]. Although weight loss is usually rapid with these diets, they come with their own complications often being nutritionally imbalanced, unmaintainable, and, in our patient, the complication of life-threatening intestinal obstruction from phytobezoar [17,18].…”

Phytobezoars are a well-documented cause of small bowel obstruction. Previous reports include patients who have predisposing factors such as gastric surgery, diabetes mellitus, or poor dentition. Consequences of extreme dieting have also been reported, but a resultant phytobezoar and life-threatening bowel obstruction are rare. We present a case of phytobezoar solely due to a diet inordinately high in fiber.

“…This suggests that most dietary approaches tried by PLwP are unsubstantiated, self-prescribed and taken from the popular literature. Following fad diets long-term or restrictive diets without the guidance of healthcare professionals (HCPs) can result in micronutrient deficiencies (MND) (150,151) . Micronutrient deficiencies have been reported in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who self-prescribe elimination diets without consulting HCPs (150,152) .…”

Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, immune-mediated, inflammatory skin disease associated with significant comorbidities. Globally, there are an estimated 60 million people living with psoriasis (PLwP). There is a growing body of evidence on the role of diet in psoriasis management and demand for dietary advice is high. However, there are no specific, evidence-based dietary guidelines. This scoping review summarises the literature on use and effectiveness of diet in the management of psoriasis to improve understanding of the evidence and assist PLwP and healthcare professionals (HCPs) to discuss diet. The findings were categorised into three themes (1) dietary intakes of PLwP, (2) the perceived role of diet in psoriasis management and (3) dietary approaches to manage psoriasis symptoms. In cross-sectional studies PLwP were reported to have higher fat and lower fibre intakes compared to controls, and lower psoriasis severity was associated with higher fibre intake. However, research is limited. PLwP perceive diet to have an impact on symptoms and make dietary modifications which are often restrictive. Systematic reviews and RCTs found certain dietary approaches improved symptoms, but only in specific populations (e.g., PLwP with obesity and PLwP with coeliac disease), and evidence for supplement use is inconclusive. The grey literature provides limited guidance to PLwP; focusing on weight-loss and associated comorbidities. Larger, controlled trials are required to determine dietary approaches for psoriasis management, especially in PLwP without obesity and non-coeliac PLwP. Further understanding of diet modification, information acquisition and experiences among PLwP will enhance holistic care for psoriasis management.

“…As a consequence, popular, restrictive fad diets have emerged ( 34 , 35 ) , promoted to achieve quick weight loss, which reduce food diversity, as well as quantity. Unlike health care professionally led weight loss programmes, they inevitably can result in micronutrients intakes below daily recommended amounts which could therefore result in long-term clinically relevant nutritional inadequacies ( 34 , 36 , 37 ) . Long-term dietary approaches for combatting obesity, whilst limiting energy intakes, must also accommodate adequate micronutrient needs and ideally fit with 21st-century sustainability goals.…”

Plant-based snacking: research and practical applications of pistachios for health benefits

Pistachio nuts are a nutrient-dense source of good quality plant protein, commonly consumed as a minimally processed snack food or ingredient. The present paper is based on a symposium held during the 13th FENS (Federation of European Nutrition Societies) 2019 conference in Dublin that explored recent research and practical applications of pistachios as a plant-based snack, in particular, for appetite control and healthy weight management; and for glycaemic control during pregnancy. Individual nut types, whilst similar in nutritional composition, have unique characteristics which may have a significant impact on potential health effects. Recognising this, the further purpose here is to explore future research needs for pistachios, based on work completed to date and the discussion that ensued among researchers at this event, in order to advance the full scope of health benefits from pistachios, in particular, taking into account of both sustainability and nutritional health.
