A History Of Diets - Chronology of Dieting - The 1990s
The World Health Organisation announces that, for the first time in history, the number of undernourished people in the world is equalled by those that are overweight or obese!
More than 50% of adults have a weight problem.
As we can see - the dietary trends have fluctuated from high protein, low-carb to low-fat, high carb and back again over nearly two centuries. Latest research is showing that the greatest increase in global obesity has occurred during the decades in which low-fat diets have been advocated, and it is now being generally recognised that the balance of blood sugar levels, the release of insulin from the pancreas, and the importance of a low-carbohydrate, low-processed foods diet is the only effective way to control weight in the long term.
