Weight Loss Diets
Posted by Sue in Lose Weight, tags: fat, losing weight, weight loss dietsThroughout the past years there have been so many different diets being offered. It got me to wonder whether people have always wanted to know how to loose weight fast. Have people always thought that they were too fat? Was skinny always the best way? Do vanity and self confidence play a major role in determining whether or not we want to lose weight since the glamor models started appearing?
Someone once suggested that a sensible diet would be the caveman diet. “What on earth is that” I asked. “Well, perhaps we should all eat what the cavemen ate”. When you think about it their diet probably consisted of things that they found growing in the land back before they started cultivation and growing it themselves. I’m sure that they ate things like fruit, vegetables, herbs, leaves and berries. I wonder how they decided which ones were safe to eat and which ones were poisonous. Perhaps there were a few deaths from stomach illness…….. Anyway we have a lot to thank them for.
The second part of their healthy food regime was meat from the animals they hunted. This must have had two effects. Firstly it makes me believe that we should be eating meat as that is what they did but secondly think of all the natural exercise that they got from chasing all those animals. They must have been pretty fit and healthy for all those chases. This should form a basis of all our diets - a combination of healthy eating and exercise.
A lot of the recent ideas for dieting seem to revolve around celebrities and film stars. Remember the Hollywood diet. That is the kind I am thinking about. I wonder whether the celebs actually do follow the diets that they promote. I doubt it very much. Nevertheless they are usually a good example of being slim and one can’t imagine them needing to lose weight.
Diets have been developed by recommending that only a group of foods should be eaten. There has been a no carbohydrate diet, only carb diets, protrin only and no protein. How can anyone actually figure that out.
