So? People still buy them. People are still encouraged to embark upon diets that will almost certainly fail. Writers who publish these diets bear responsibility for what they promote

It's a diet. You appear to have a problem with diets. So would you have a problem in this case?

I do not have a problem with diets tailored to particular health needs by dieticians. You haven’t been reading what I’ve posted.

You say you have no time for him, but you've made 25+ posts slagging him off on what is basically an RIP thread.

And people bear responsibility for over/ under doing it.
Someone my sister lived next to had lots of medical problems and was put on a diet. At a checkup he'd put on weight. Turns out he'd being eating the diet as well as his normal meals.

If the same thing worked for everyone then I guess there would not be so many new diet books being published every month. It's a huge profit making industry.

It would also save the NHS a fortune as they wouldn't have to stock dozens of different types of tablets to treat the same condition.

What has that got to do with anything?

I don't watch TV or read diet books, so I was previously unfamiliar with this individual. It seems rather grim that it took him going missing and then being found dead to catch my attention.
I think the most emotionally impactful aspect of this for me is that he didn't seem to be doing anything particularly risky beyond going for a walk. It's the sort of thing I might find myself doing. There's a canal path near where I live that I like to trundle along, and I'm already a bit nervous about that because of idiot cyclists.

Try reading.
Did you see the terrain and the weather he went for a walk in?

So you didn't bother reading the first line of Kali's post that I replied to then.

A sunny Greek island doesn't strike me as being a particularly harsh set of conditions. Thousands of people go to such places every year without perishing. It's not as if he was trying to cross the Negev unassisted.

I don't think people think about heat that much, especially if you're healthy and have water. Looks like he was carrying a brolly for protection from the sun too. I was just recently walking around Seville in 40C heat. Obviously, there are risks (a bit like taking drugs) but many folk don't think them that great.

I did but clearly came to a different conclusion than yours, considering the non sequitur you replied withSo you didn't bother reading the first line of Kali's post that I replied to then.

Yet you can't make the link between that post and previous posts giving the fact that not all drugs work for all people and I'm supposedly the idiot.

we're talking about dubious diets promoted by non-medical 'experts', but you're banging on about the need for a variety of different meds for different people with the same medical complaints, which is not being disputedYet you can't make the link between that post and previous posts giving the fact that not all drugs work for all people and I'm supposedly the idiot.
Quite. On the same day Michael Mosley went missing two hikers died on Crete in separate incidents:

All you need to do is twist an ankle or something which means you can’t move at all or very quickly and suddenly you’re exposed to a number of unconsidered risks as your plan from walking from A to B in 2 hours didn’t assume not being able to walk or it taking 12 hours

I don’t know if any of you have ever had heatstroke but it can cause confusion and disorientation.
I have read his books. They’re meticulously researched and turned the whole diet industry on its head.
He wasn’t a charlatan, he was someone who was really passionate about using his medical knowledge to improve people’s health.

His only formal medical training was in psychiatry though.
I quite liked some of his stuff and I he's by no means the worst example of dodgy health 'experts' but I do wish we could hear more from actual experts rather than knowledge being mediated via personalities.
