Weight Loss Motivation
How could that have happened It's the old story. Metabolism Miracle Review When you let unqualified people take charge of important matters concerning other peoples welfare, bad things are likely to happen. In this case the medical profession seemed indifferent to the fact that unqualified, unsupervised people had hijack an area of health which they name nutrition.
Not even when nutritionist's began to claim cholesterol as their area of expertise did the medical profession step in. The voodoo preached by these 'experts', went on to become the dogma on which today's nutritionist base their entire philosophy. The original niche marketers went on to produce other diets, mostly calorie reducing diets to combat a growing epidemic of weight problems largely caused by their by their own original diet. It is unlikely they will ever acknowledge even a modicum of responsibility for what they did.
I know you've been dying to ask What was the diet Any person over forty years of age will remember it as the pyramid diet. It was launched with a poster of a pyramid. It depicted the food groups according to priority. Heavy carbohydrates were at the bottom. It filled one third. Then there was fruit and vegetables, which I think were around twenty percent. That meant a diet of at least fifty percent carbohydrates.
When the diet was launched most people were not overweight, but the diet was targeted to cholesterol. It induced enough fear to force thousands of perfectly normal healthy people to start dieting. Even doctors would recommend a diet when a lab result showed a high cholesterol count. In those days, there was only one diet for that. It wasn't long before we wondered; when did America get so fat.
