The fads came
fast and usually went
fast, too. The one that had the thinnest adherents was the macrobiotic
diet, but they also seemed nervous from it. You really have to love cooking and learn how to cook to do it, though, as it sees cooking as the center of life. It's a Japanese thing. Personally, I have never dieted, but I have borrowed something from a whole lot of them. I'm more a fan of eating healthfully than dieting most of the time, and eating what you want otherwise.
