Abstract

Introduction: New dietary strategies such as slimming diets have emerged to prevent metabolic diseases such as overweight and obesity, and this alternative has become popular and widely adopted in recent years. Nevertheless, several scientific studies carried out on weight-loss diets have shown that they can present health risks due to deficiencies in the vitamins and trace elements needed for the body to function properly. Objective: The aim of this study is to establish the current state of the population's knowledge of weight-loss diets in Western Algeria.

The data collected were analyzed and processed using the following software: Google Forms and Microsoft Excel 2013.
