Dieting has a really bizarre history. 

Dieting started with questionable eating advice from an English poet, evolved to incorporate chewing techniques to lose weight, and really went off the deep rails with the invention of amphetamines, cigarettes, and laxatives to push for extreme weight loss. The dieting and weight loss yoyo is shockingly repetitive, but people have been profiting off the question, “Do I look fat in this?” “How do I lose weight,” or “How do I lose inches?” way longer than you think.

The bizarre history of dieting and is pretty repetitive, and it’s sustained by two things: people who are trying to lose weight, and companies that are more than willing to help them thin out their weight, and also their wallets. Weight loss industries today are worth billions of dollars today, and this includes promoting pricey weight loss plans on how to lose weight! So how do we break this cycle on how to lose weight fast, but instead incorporate healthy diet plans and good nutrition?

Weight loss doesn’t have to include a diet of cigarettes, amphetamines, and laxatives. Eating in moderation and exercising is key to a healthy diet, but also a healthy lifestyle and improved wellness.
