Warning about dieting with water

Apologies if it's been raised before but I keep seeing an advert for dieting with water.

This from today's BBC.

I don't recall seeing this before, and thanks for the warning on yet another idiotic fad diet.

If you want to lose weight, simply eat less and excercise more!
