  first they tell us that obesity is the great problem now we get this.
  
  "Doctors warned last night that continued calorie counting was a health time-bomb.
  Cutting out nutrient-rich foods in a misguided attempt to lose weight could have "alarming" long-term consequences.
  
  And with an estimated 12million Britons currently on diets it could prove devastating for the nation's health, placing massive burdens on the NHS. It has long been known that an unhealthy diet can lead to a host of deadly conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer.
  But a low-fat diet that lacks vital vitamins and minerals can also lead to long-term ­problems. A report found that many Britons have a dangerous attitude to food, being concerned mainly with cutting their intake of fat and calories rather than thinking about what they need to eat to stay healthy.
  Experts are now calling on people to "re-learn" what good nutrition tastes like in a bid to stave off health problems for future generations.
  
  Dietician Dr Frankie Phillips, said: "It would seem that despite all the recent education campaigns on healthy eating, the reality is our daily diets are still out of balance nutritionally at times, resulting in deficiencies in certain areas for some people.
  
  "Whether this is because we are obsessed with counting calories, are struggling to afford to eat healthily or lack the time to think about what we are eating, if we continue in this way, it will seriously impact on our health both in the short term and in the future."
  
  The Seven Seas Nutrition Aware report - developed by nutrition experts and the Future Foundation think-tank - reveals that the modern obsession with dieting and weight loss is taking priority over healthy eating."
