Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Nancy asks…

baby boomer generation and fad diets?

the beginning history of fad diet

weight loss cardiff answers:

Fad diets have been around forever. Cereal actually started as a fad diet. Mr kellogg had a retreat home back in the day (1920’s) where he made ‘corn flakes’ for rich people willing to pay a pretty penny to be ‘healthy’. The 8 glasses of water a day myth? Started as a fad in the 1800’s by some crazy guy that said walking in stream each day would make you healthy. As long as people have time free to be curious about health as well as the money, fad diets are going to exist.

Susan asks…

how kan u be on a diet????

How kan u be on a diet witout using pills…..

weight loss cardiff answers:

Dieting has nothing to do with taking pills. A diet, in the general sense, is just what you eat. If you are trying to lose weight you just have to alter your diet so that you take in less calories. No pills needed.

Sandy asks…

the raw diet?

is the raw diet just another fad diet?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Its just another fad diet, and about the 20th ‘Answers’ question like it today alone! Look for yourself!!

No I haven’t tried it, I haven’t tried jumping off cliffs to check if it is fatal either. There is a mass of science based info out there, so why do so many people seem to go out there determined to find the quackery?

No it doesn’t work!

I have to admit I have a ‘stock’ answer for this question, since if you look it appears 20-30 times every day!!!

Type ‘guaranteed weight loss’ into google, you will find 1 1/2 million sites!

Look around you if ANY of these things worked would we be getting so overweight?

We are what we eat, but we are at least as much what we don’t do. Calorie intakes in 1900 and 1950 were higher than they are now, we just don’t use them up!

Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg.

Take a healthy amount of exercise 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?

I have seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super diet or herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch!

No fixes pal , less in more out, its the only way.
