First, before we embark on the subject of diet, let's first define what we mean. Diets are more or less a dirty word in American culture. Just saying the word conjures ups a distressing and difficult regimen of eating foods that are considered awful. That's not the scope of our diet section.
Merriam Webster's medical dictionary defines diet as:
a : food and drink regularly provided or consumed b: the kind and amount of food prescribed for a person or animal for a special reason.
We'll cover both of these definitions with the various articles that follow, but trust me, we're not going to cover the ridiculous thousands of diets that don't work. This is common sense information that anyone can use. |

I'm not big on diets, when it meant in the sense that you've got to be on a weird eating plan. They don't work in the long term. But, the Free Stress Diet uses common sense. You should read this.
