The History of Diets
ETS The History of Diets In order to understand the “shape” of weight-management, today, it’s helpful to know the evolution of the industry. World-wide obsession with dieting has been around for hundreds of years. The ideal figure has been sought since it was painted on vases. Now, of course, it's plastered on billboards, printed in magazines, displayed on TV and all over the internet. The following is a recap of some of the more interesting and famous diets. ● 1700's - Dieting to reduce body weight emerges as a western concept. Trendy Madame de Pompadour, at 5'1" and 111 lbs., declares herself "skeletally thin." The corset is invented. ● 1828 - French food aesthete Brillat-Savarin suggests moderation, not for health reasons, but as a sign of refinement. Diets are de rigueur. Godey's Lady Book promotes fashionably thin models. ● 1864 - William Banting drops 46 pounds eating mutton, eggs and vegetables, as described in his best-selling Letter on Corpulence. ● 1917 - Diet and Health is first published by Lulu Hunt Peters, a chronically overweight person. Peters teaches readers about "calories," a term previously used only in physics, and advises a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. ● 1930's - Movie stars popularize the Hollywood 18-Day Diet. It consists of grapefruit, melba toast, green vegetables and boiled eggs. ● 1933 - Mayo Clinic's scientific diet, the Mayo Food Nomogram, is mistaken for a complicated word game and fades into obscurity. ● 1939 - Miracle diet pills, a.k.a. amphetamines, generate sales of $30 million annually before the FDA steps in. Bathing-suit ad slogan: "Suit by Jantzen.
