Obesity and diet is nothing new

The first signs of obesity can be traced to early modern humans in Europe about 35,000 years ago. In those days, the efficient storage of energy (ie fat) in times of plenty was essential to survive the next famine. Times have changed and hunger is not in our part of the world any longer. Therefore, our ability to save lives once and for storing energy (ie fat) has effectively been turned against us. Now present in our society and the constant worry of excess weight and ultimately, such as obesity. For thousands of years, overweight and obesity are extremely rare phenomena were studied almost never.

The perception of obesity varies between cultures.

In ancient Egypt, obesity is considered a disease. Egyptians portrayed their enemies as obese people. Obesity was certainly not the Egyptian beauty ideal rather had long slender legs, narrow hips with high breasts, and golden skin. Concerned that the system maintains your health, the ancients recognized that the quantity and quality of food are equally important. His method of control of the party was quite primitive. they

He vomited and purged three times per month.

Ancient China was aware of obesity and the dangers that go with it. Texts toll Gobi berries to strengthen the liver, obesity prevention, and strengthen the Qi (chi), or vital energy. The Aztecs believed that obesity was supernatural, an affliction of the Gods. They had a sophisticated vocabulary obesity and location of specific fat depots, including a double chin and a beer belly.

The ancient Greeks first recognized the dangers of obesity. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said that obesity leads to infertility and even death.

Hippocrates was aware of sudden death is more common in obese than lean men. He correctly identified the energy balance equation:
Energy can not be created or destroyed.
Energy is used, whether or stored.
When -calories tion outweigh -calories then increases body weight.
When -calories -calories tions are less on the body weight and then decreases.
After Hippocrates laid the foundation for understanding energy and weight control in the human body, another two thousand years passed before the general public in Europe in early 1600, began to recognize the diet and exercise as a means of preserving health.

Around the 17th century, the links between nutrition, disease and health are clearly recognized.

Study after study has highlighted the benefits of thinness and the dangers of fatness. from the 17th century. The term obesity was first used in 1650 by the English physician and medical writer, Dr. Tobias Venner. With the industrial revolution of the 19th century, England experienced an increasing abundance of food, with a more sedentary life style. The result was a sharp increase in obesity among middle and upper classes.

Unfortunately, the medical society and the general public began to look at obesity and its complications such as serious health problems, knowledge about how to reverse, especially permanently, do not know! Surprisingly, most physicians of the 19th century had no idea of the cause. Many thought obesity was due for sin or disease.

The doctors at the time did not believe I was eating had a direct impact on your body and your overall health. People usually eat bread, potatoes, pastries, desserts and cakes, and their meat served with heavy sauces. Alcohol is part of everyday life. Basically, people of the time ate whatever they could afford! After all, a big belly was a sign of prosperity.

Light begins to shine in 1800 with Graham Crackers in America

During the 1830s, the Reverend Sylvester Graham was the first American to link food choices for health. He condemned the sin of gluttony, advocating a vegetarian diet as bland healing. Graham has developed a recipe and encouraged people to eat flatbread flour coarse wheat. However, people who ate the graham cracker -pale were described as sickly. Reverend Graham became known as the sawdust-not Dr. a very good start to reverse obesity, but these were the first efforts to remedy the situation

The revelations appear in the early 19th century London:

Across the Atlantic, in the 19th century Dr William Wadd, a physician from El Corte Ingles, finally touched the heart of the matter. He hit the excesses of the table with the result of excess fat in dangerous conditions in the body.

First principle of treatment Dr Wadd taking food that has little nutritional pena.¿Ha describing eating foods with less fat or carbohydrates? He noted that many doctors refused to treat obese patients because they recognize the growing obesity epidemic in the 1800s as a real and dangerous disease. That was in 1800. His familiar?

In 1850, the medical profession in Europe had accepted the theory of the German chemist Justus von Liebig as carbohydrates and fats provide the carbon combined with oxygen in the lungs, the body produces heat. In terms of this theory, carbohydrates and fats are respiratory foods and the cause of obesity is thought to be an abuse of them.

Patients of Dr. Liebig were separated food as long as possible and almost starved to death. He urged developed every hour on the instinctual desires of his patients a clock. Although this is only the first organized attempt to reverse obesity, a more humane treatment is needed. However, the importance of limiting food intake to treat obesity has become very well accepted by the middle of 1800. The challenge was then, as it still is today, the unbearable hunger that accompanies the reduction food consumption.

London 4 doctors discover the secrets of weight loss (much of what follows we Forget)

During the 19th century, three English doctors-Horace Dobell (1826-1916), Isaac Burney Yeo (1835-1914) and John Ayrton Paris (1785-1856) -turned attention to the growing problem of obesity, research methods and help obese people to overcome problems related to weight. They concluded that excess food and lifestyle more sedentary lifestyle of the 19th century England was in conflict with the need of the biological body to efficiently store energy (ie fat) in times of plenty to survive the next famine. They recognized that rapid solutions and offered no response to this miracle solutions.

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, alerted its readers in 1825 about the dangers of fad diets. He warned against the use of so-called common venagar to lose weight and was an early advocate of limiting carbohydrates. His book, The Physiology of Taste is one of the first important books on food.

Dr Burney on 1842 unravels the secret to successful weight loss:

Animals as human beings are motivated by four basic units: hunger, thirst, sex, and the need for security. Hunger and sex are the strongest, being necessary to the survival of our species. Dr. Burney known for its treatment of Yeo (treatment of obesity, which gives large amounts of hot drinks and carbohydrate retention) -noted hunger, but primarily in the stomach, its origin in the brain. In addition, as this sensation is one of the most basic human emotions, their regulation must occur slowly and carefully.

Hunger creates morbid desire not only, as Dr. Burney wrote. Probably the main reason why many diets fail is they do not know what Dr. Burney calls-our most basic of all units of hunger.



Before you start counting calories, points, fat, carbohydrates or protein, and other measures we use to help regulate food intake, Drs. Dobell and Burney had concluded that all these methods were too complicated. Both doctors noted that changes in the diet should be based on the specific needs of the individual in relation to age, gender and activity level. However, 1865 is the age of steam, elixirs, potions and ointments. Tell a high-class lawyer, overweight had caused excess fat around your belly and had to eat exercise physically similar to a hand on the farm was problematic and almost led Dr. Burney practice.

The diet is related to age, sex, occupation ... and must match what the person likes. Avoid unnecessary changes in the number or variety of food and always give a patient what he likes, unless there is a good reason, no doubt, to do so, writes Dr Burney in 1842.

You might think that the recognition will make us eat too much fat is pretty obvious and it was not an important discovery. In reality, most weight loss plans today do not take into account the fact that everyone can not eat the same food, the same amount of food, or react the same way to food. This is the reason why none of the generic concepts of work regime. Everyone is different and each requires a custom action plans to achieve the long-term success in management levels, healthy and sustainable weight.

How many diet plans even consider what the guy really likes to eat? Messrs. Dobell and Burney out a plan for successful weight loss depends on making minimal changes and then adjust the food to the age, sex of the person and occupation, and especially the personal tastes. This advice is even more relevant today than it was 175 years ago. Find the real cause of your weight problems and then choose foods based on these personal factors, including what you like to eat is essential and then is so important today.

Maintaining weight loss plans is simply nothing new:

-Interference With a plan, like all good things, is particularly open to abuse, because nothing is so easy a complicated code restrictions and rules arise on what to eat and drink and the patient is very likely to suggest that the ability of health care increases with the number and variety of orders. But those who understand the concept of a regime know that the opposite is true ... instead of meddling with unimportant details, seize a few key points that usually feed mill. Those who are best are those who refrain from any attempt to interfere, writes Dr. Horace Dobell in 1865.

William Bunting a mortician London writes about his experiences fighting against obesity, some practice

Dieter ideas first celebrity:

In 1860, in what is considered one of the best diet books, a famous London entrepreneur William Banting and coffin manufacturer, revealed how to lose and most importantly, maintaining the weight loss for years. At 5 feet 5 inches and weighing more than 202 lbs., Banting experienced a rapid weight gain from the age of 30, he was so big he had to go down the stairs backwards to avoid vibrations in their knees. He was unable to link his shoes or pull his pants. Despite vigorous exercise, spa treatments, induced vomiting, gallons of drinking water to low water regimes, calories and hunger, which only keeps the weight gain.

For many years, he went from one doctor to another in vain, they took my money, but could not make me thinner. He was hospitalized for twenty times the weight reduction, only to fail again. One of the doctors said that weight gain was perfectly -natural-; The doctor himself was to gain a pound a year by year. Tired of doctors and failures, he created his own plan, bearing many similarities with the findings of Drs. Dobell, Burney and Paris, and described in his famous letter of great women, first published in 1864.

Quantity of food: People build broader and requires a ratio greater amount of food ... ... and food that are beneficial to the young age are harmful.

Type of food: starch, sugar and fatty meats tend to create fat and should be avoided all together. Experimentation is necessary to determine what foods cause weight gain of the individual and do not. There is no intention to restrict carbohydrates - but sugar, potatoes and bread ... fruit and vegetables of all kinds are freely allowed.
Dietary changes should be gradual and kept to a minimum to cause feelings of loss ... and go back to their old habits.
Number of meals eaten -four favorite one day. (The fourth is a late night snack.) -
Rules of practice that you found so beneficial regime were forced to time men who are in training or run boxing ... Most overweight people are in poor health or lack of time and can not exercise and sweat
Banting managed to lose over 50 pounds. and I kept it until his death 80 years inadvertently incorporated the basic results of British doctors, including the adaptation of the amount of food for their age and activity level. He made some important and progressive dietary changes and three meals a day are consumed, with a bedtime snack. Its emphasis on eliminating starch, sugars and fatty meats in your diet by Dr. Atkins preceded by more than 100 years. Banting concluded that the exercise was not as important as changing the food he ate. As successful as it was, the Banting plane seemed too obvious and simple. As far as his name became synonymous with thinness, was ridiculed and denounced as a charlatan. The British Medical Society vilified his diet as -humbug- system and the fundamental principles on which it is based has been ignored for a century.
The basic structure of food daily revealed by Dr. Paris in 1826!

Despite all the controversy, some progress has been made against obesity when Dr. John Ayrton Paris revealed the basic framework for moderate distribution of food throughout the day in his book, A Treatise on Food (1826 ). Part of your daily diet understands the importance of breakfast, light lunches and small dinners. Dr. Paris also stressed the importance of snacks and was the first to introduce the idea that eating more after a day of work may be more beneficial than eating large meals dinner.

--All Diet ... depends on the level of exercise, age and growth rate. Usually, large meals a day, the other small and light loose ... again depends on the occupation. A light meal is preferable to two meals per day. Often, a patient in the morning without breakfast inclination arises, but because of his profession, he is obliged to force the food to protect against depletion of the last day of the lack of food. At least have a cookie, eggs and toast for breakfast bread. Snacks are necessary for civilized life. Dinner, the big meal of the day, so may be postponed 19 hours, writes Dr. Paris in 1826.

Put obese people quackery 1890

In the second half of the 19th century, both obese people and their doctors have left the -secret-- found a big belly is the result of overeating. Instead, again using desperately all kinds of quackery, including water, vibration and massage therapy, laxatives, purgatives, electrical and non-electrical corsets and belts, Epsom salts, various tonics, creams, liniments, and pills.

That we can build in the past:

During the 20th century, science reveals more details on the human body, but some of the most basic and simple truths about weight control seemed to have lost or have sunk into oblivion. Instead, current methods of weight loss such as counting calories, weighing and measuring parts, points, phases, only protein, no carbs, more fat than you want, not fat at all without wheat light natural organic pre-rations, frozen meals-- with complicated recipes, diet plans and specialty foods-- taken the place of common sense. Regimes have become restrictive, fundamentalist, ideological, and sometimes even contradictory. Stereotypes and myths do not help to clarify the issues related to obesity and what to do about it.
