Going on a diet
Some will "go on a diet" to feel better about themselves, others because of health concerns or because it is trendy. What is a diet really, what are the risks? What type of diet can you trust?
What is a "diet"
According to the definition in the dictionary a diet is “the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person […] for a special reason” (Merriam Webster).
Extrapolating and reformulating the definition, is it reasonable to ask whether eating anything with no limits and no restrictions is not itself defined as a diet? Is the modern kitchen not a "2.0 system" which restricts the body to cause some deficiencies in the long term?
The "Plan", a Chinese puzzle
It is difficult to answer this question because it depends on what scale or time referential the individual is placed. On a large enough scale, how do you qualify the diet of people who follow a "Paleolithic diet" or "Okinawan diet"? Can we still talk about "going on a diet" strictly speaking? One certainty, our ancestors did not know ready-made prepared meals, chemical additives and flavour enhancers that appeared in the last 50 years.
A changing food industry that creates a discrepancy with our genetic heritage
Genetic mutations are slow, for a disease or to adapt to climate change, it takes time.
The lifestyle and diet mode do not match the genetic fingerprint recognized by our genes.
Many scientific works show a simple and theoretical link of causality between modern kitchen and chronic illness.
"The fouling theory" or "blood type regimes" show very clearly that each individual is not the same.
