Weighty arguments - from 30 to 60% of losing weight not only return the lost weight, but even increase it. A periodic fluctuations of weight are fraught with diseases of the cardiovascular system, decreased immunity and metabolic disorders, up to diabetes.
But if people come up with a diet, then it was someone has to. Try to figure out who and, more importantly, why. Now what to do about this?
How to start a diet
The most ancient diet is considered the "Pythagorean". On it were the followers of the great philosopher. Following the example of the teacher they avoided animal products and beans. However, losing weight, this diet had no relation. Minimum goal - get rid of gas in the stomach, the maximum task - to provide a paradise life after death.
More rationalistic was the father of medicine, Hippocrates. In his treatise "On the diet," he suggested that there everything is harmful to health: diet should be selected individually depending on the person's age, health, occupation, place of residence and time of year. The Roman physician Asclepiades, the founder of the science of nutrition, went even further. He assured that any disease can be cured with proper nutrition. But his fellow countryman Galen though too was a doctor, considered a diet only way to live in accordance with the stars and elements. According to him, the main task was to create a balanced diet balance of fluids (blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile) in the body. We would call it "diet temperament". Phlegmatic people recommended "firewater" foods, such as onions and garlic; choleric, on the contrary, they are contraindicated, they say, they already testy. Galen owned and diets on a horoscope, which have not lost popularity until now.
Weight loss diet - a relatively new invention. Him on the strength of two hundred years. They were originally only way to deal with extreme obesity, and the craze began only after the Second World War with the advent of new standards of female beauty.
By the way, "measure" reduced calorie diet, scientists have come up only at the beginning of the XX century, chemists were pioneers of Yale University. Thank you very much from all of them sitting on the Kremlin diet!
Known dietomany
King
According to historians, William the Conqueror, King of England igertsog Normandy, scary stout, as soon as he fifties. The monarch had to go on a diet, but not for reasons of beauty and aesthetics - Teles prevented William climb on a horse. King has completely refused food and, at the call of Norman blood, switched to alcohol. This helped him a bit to lose weight. He climbed on a horse, but whether drunk, or from malnutrition held loosely in the saddle already, and fell from his horse, and why he died, barely held on to sixty.
Poet
The famous poet and heartthrob Lord George Gordon Byron in eighteen years weighed 90 kg with height 174 cm, the view was quite blooming and very upset about it. He wanted to be like their heroes - the pale, emaciated young man dying of eaten their melancholy.
Exercise and refusal of food have helped Byron to lose weight, but the consumptive complexion in no way replaces the healthy glow. And then the poet began to soak food in vinegar. His example was followed by many fans, but the enthusiasm of Byron dietary dried up pretty quickly. After six years, "melancholic" put on weight again and wallowed in carnal amusements.
Funeral maker
In the middle of the XIX century in England, lived a very thick and sick funeral maker William Banting. He could not lose weight and get better, and almost despaired when the doctor advised him to a strict diet: without bread, butter, milk, sugar, beer and potatoes.
As a result, Bunting dropped almost thirty pounds, began to feel better and to celebrate, published his "Letter of obesity", which branded adiposity as the most terrible disease. With a little remote medicine, Banting hypothesized that pasta and potatoes, digesting, laid on the body fat layers. Since then, the word "Bunting» («bant» in translation from English to "engage in medical starvation") is a household - is the first carbohydrate-free diet.
Lose weight for Science
Just do not confuse health food (lady's finger, allergies, etc.) and popular (and not so) pohudatelnye diet. The first deals with the science dietetics, the second closer to food hygiene. Science, too. Both use the latest achievements of medicine, biochemistry and physiology. And there, and there diet selected individually. But want to adjust your weight quickly and easily, often consult with experts, and make up your diet, based on intuition, speculative councils in fashionable magazines and experience of acquaintances.
They think like this: I will sit on yogurt or fruit, and lose weight immediately and permanently. Alas, after such experiments over a certain fall in hospital wards.
However, the main disadvantage of "simple" diets: their availability provokes girls to grow thin with unstable mentality indefinitely. Concern own weight becomes an obsession (in textbooks on psychiatry is called gratsidomaniey) or develops into a neurosis.
Today at all on hearing horror stories about the deaths from anorexia models, and how many unknown young girls treated in psychiatric hospitals without any hope of success? It is terrible to imagine ...
So, express diets are harmful, but to become slimmer like. What to do? To eat or as they say smart people, correct eating behavior.
