There are so many diets, eating styles, and techniques to drop pounds that it is dizzying. And full disclosure, I have probably used most or all of them during my lifetime... I started dieting in 7th grade! My friend and I drank this new product called “Carnation’s Instant Breakfast” and called that lunch. Were we overweight? No, but we did not look like Twiggy either! I had grown up around women and older girls who were always talking about losing weight to keep attractive.
