There are lots of fad diets out there, but most of them
don’t seem to work very well. So how about a slogan-based diet, rather than a
sham diet foods-based diet? The slogan could be: “Taste not, want not!” (From
the expression: “Waste not, want not.”) The slogan would communicate the idea
that if you simply stay away entirely from foods you like but know to be
fattening for you, you will not binge on them, and hopefully you’ll lose
weight.
Or will the Taste Not, Want Not diet merely end up as Taste
Not, Want Lots, leading to irrepressible cravings and more binging than ever before? Actually, probably it will.
