“Modernized” eating Grab food that is
fast , cheap, and convenient
Focus on quantity Snack/graze alone Use external cues to
stop eating (i.e. plate empty, 100 cal packs, diets/calorie counts).
“Traditional” eating Take time to
prepare and savor food
Focus on quality Share meals with
others Listen to body’s
internal cues for satiety
Who feels more satisfied physically, emotionally, and spiritually?
Who tends to be healthier, happier, and leaner?

Healthy eating + activity leads to leanness. But, leanness doesn’t always lead to health + fitness. Diet drugs (Phen/fen, Meridia, Orlistat/Alli, anabolic
steroids) Diet supplements/teas (stimulants, laxatives) Surgery (Gastric bypass, lap-band, tummy tucks/lipo) Extreme diets (The Biggest Loser) Disordered Eating (restrict, binge, purge)
Eating for weight control (instead of health & pleasure) often causes emotional distress. Guilt and shame for eating Anxiety and fear of food

Why people fast? Traditionally… for religious/spiritual purposes Currently… for weight loss & “detox” purposes
Does “the Master Cleanse” (and other detox diets) work? cause rapid fat loss? rid the body of toxins? improve systemic health? boost energy/vitality?

What are they?
Why they work (in short term)?
Why they fail (in long term)?
