Did the weird diet fads have it right?

From Sunday Morning, 8:33 am today

Who remembers the grapefruit diet or the cottage cheese diet? 

Nicola Shubrook is a nutritionist with the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, and the Institute for Functional Medicine. 

She's also a regular contributor to BBCGoodFood.com and she speaks to Jim about what we might learn - if anything - from diet fads of the past.
