Obesity Epidemic Backlash of Diet Industry....

Just something to think about. I heard today that the Obesity Epidemic is being targeted as a backlash of the diet industry., I don't know about you but this struck me like a ton of bricks and made perfect sense. Years ago we didn't have the problem of obesity and we didn't even have diet foods. Diet foods started popping up in the 70's and 80's with aspartame and all that shanazzle. And now 30 years later we got BIG problems literally. Makes you think eh?! Well diet foods are empty foods, people eat them, aren't satisfied and end up eating twice as much. Diet foods also lack in nutrition. I'm going to tell you a true story. My friend works with eating disorders and she had a client come in that weighed over 300 lbs. So my friend told her client to go home and clean out the cupboards, get rid of all the diet labels. She had her client eating whole fat yogurt, 2% milk, cottage cheese, leaving the skin on the chicken, etc. Anyways, 5 months later and her client lost 65lbs! Impressive eh, goes to show. I recently gave up diet foods myself. I'm going to give my body the nutrition it deserves and stop tricking it with modified chemicals, yeesh.! It's been about a month, and i'm still the same, maybe even fitter since I started exercising a bit more. But i guess the diet foods didn't have that much of an effect now did they? hehe. Diet's aren't natural. Nobody should diet unless they need to for health reasons.
If you look back in the past you can see the changes the media has put into the ideal body image. I'm going to have to post some pics of the different eras real soon.
