Diet of the Masters Video Series
What is a diet? Does a diet really help you lose weight? Are they healthy? Why would anyone want to go on one? These are questions that almost everybody is asking these days. watch Diet of the Masters Video Series First of all, despite my normal advice against "diets", I do have to admit that in some circumstances, for some people, they can help a person's weight loss program. Let me explain a couple of things, however. People today get confused when they hear the word "diet". They usually think that it always applies to some special plan of eating which is intended to help people lose weight. This isn't always so, and there was a time that the word was simply used to indicate a list of what a person ate. Scholars would, and still do, talk about the "diet" of a tribe, nation, or cultural group. Doctors would prepare a list of foods intended to accomplish some goal other than weight loss, and the word would be applied to that list of foods. Heck, I was placed on one as a small child in order to determine what food might be causing an allergy I had at the time. Today the word has come to mean a special list of foods you can or cannot eat if you wish to lose weight. Many of these have achieved almost mystical status and many have their own followings. Just witness how far the Atkins and South Beach Diets have extended themselves in our society. Before Dr. Atkins came along and South Beach was discovered, I am sure you remember such exciting diets as those centered around specific foods which practically guaranteed weight loss success. You could eat grapefruit, cabbage soup, or you could enjoy the promised effects of the negative calorie diet. Most have these have faded away for three basic reasons: 1. People got tired of eating the same thing meal after meal. 2. They were unrealistic in their expectations. How could you get cabbage soup when on vacation, or at a business luncheon. 3. Most of the time, they simply didn't work. Diet of the Masters Video Series
