Diets & Dieting

Last time, we started talking about the history of diets and dieting. I pointed out that although the word diet actually refers to those things that are customarily eaten, these days we usually mean an attempt to lose weight.

With this article, I'm starting a series of columns that look at the history of diets and dieting - the plans and the personalities behind the plans. We are all so used to the idea of diets, that it is hard to believe there was ever a time when the "D word" wasn't on everyone's lips from morning to night.

Everyone, and every family, ought to have emergency supplies and emergency plans - this includes if you want to stay on your low-carb & keto lifestyle during emergency situations.
