    As dietas da moda se popularizam facilmente por prometerem benefícios em curto prazo. Contudo, a adoção dessas dietas pode ser potencialmente prejudicial à saúde. Assim, o presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a adesão de dietas da moda por frequentadores de academias do município de São Paulo, Brasil. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo transversal com 50 frequentadores de academias de ginástica. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da aplicação de um questionário com perguntas sobre aderência a algum tipo de dieta da moda, orientação profissional, meios de divulgação dessas dietas, resultado, tempo de permanência dos resultados e efeitos adversos. Trinta e dois (64,0%) dos participantes relataram ter realizado algum tipo de dieta da moda, sendo as dietas mais citadas a low carb, dietas ricas em proteína e jejum intermitente. Os principais meios de divulgação dessas dietas foram as mídias digitais (52,6%), amigos (26,3%) e personal trainer (10,5%). A maioria da amostra relatou ter tido um resultado bom ou muito bom (71,9%), mas a duração do resultado foi de curta a média (1 a 6 meses) para a maioria dos participantes (59,4%). Os efeitos adversos mais relatados foram fraqueza (46,8%), dor de cabeça (37,5%), irritabilidade (34,3%) e tontura (18,7%). Estudos futuros são necessários para avaliar a composição das dietas consumidas e alterações metabólicas em curto e longo prazo. ABSTRACTAdherence of fad diets by people who frequent gyms in São PauloFad diets easily become popular because they promise short-term benefits. However, the adoption of these diets can be potentially harmful to health. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the adherence of fad diets by people who frequent gyms in São Paulo, Brazil. We performed a cross-sectional study with 50 people who frequent gyms. Data were collected through the application of a questionnaire with questions about adherence to some type of fad diet, professional orientation, means of dissemination of these diets, results, duration of results and adverse effects. Thirty-two (64.0%) of the participants reported having performed some type of fad diet and the most cited diets were low carb, high protein diets and intermittent fasting. The main means of dissemination of these diets were digital media (52.6%), friends (26.3%) and personal trainer (10.5%). Most of the sample reported having had a good or very good result (71.9%), but the duration of the result was short to medium (1 to 6 months) for most participants (59.4%). The most commonly reported adverse effects were weakness (46.8%), headache (37.5%), irritability (34.3%), and dizziness (18.7%). Future studies are needed to evaluate the composition of diets consumed and metabolic changes in the short and long term.
