]]>You have to know yourself. There are some people who actually thrive on the extreme nature of intermittent fasting. It requires some true discipline, but at the same time, it almost requires less discipline. Knowing that you’re not allowed to eat at all, this is a comfortable boundary for those who might be tempted to grab something to eat otherwise.
However, some may react negatively to such an extreme approach. Some peoples’ bodies need food more often, and we mean that in a scientific way. Everyone is built differently, which is why you should test out the waters and see how you feel about it before committing to it full-time. If intermittent fasting doesn’t work out for you, there’s nothing wrong with you—it’s just not the perfect fit.

]]>Although cigarettes are far from being banned, not many people use them as a way to regulate weight anymore. Back in the 1920s, smoking was a popular way to control eating, especially snacking and eating sweets. Tobacco companies promoted cigarettes to women as an effective weight-loss aid.
Helen Gurley Brown, who later became the editor of Cosmo, promoted a diet for women who want to stay young. According to her, your menu should consist of an egg for breakfast, another egg for lunch followed by black coffee, and a glass of white wine. For dinner, you can have a steak and finish your wine bottle. We can see how this will make you lose weight, but it sounds wrong on so many levels!
In the 1970s, Dr. Sanford Siegal promoted prescription-based weight loss cookies that had a “revolutionary” hunger-control formula. Besides the cookies, you can eat 500-700 calories per day and that’s it. Also, the monthly dose of cookies cost $179.99.

]]>The truth is that many people put so much emphasis on cutting sugar and fat out of their food that they forget about the excessive amount of sugar they’re getting from their drinks. Sometimes, there are even drinks that we think are healthy but are actually not.
Fruit juices like orange or apple juice is a great example of something that seems healthy but isn’t always. There are many fruit juice brands that load up their product with sugar, to the point where you’re loading up with it, and as a result, your sugar levels are much higher than you thought.
On their own, tea and coffee are just fine. But if you’re adding a few spoonfuls of sugar, or a few drops of creamer, every time you have a cup, it’s definitely affecting your dieting goals.
