Subject: Fitness/Diet in the 70's
Written By: dasani_cp on 03/08/04 at 03:20 p.m.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some information on the fitness/diet/etc fads/trends in the 1970s. I am doing some research and am having trouble finding information. Does anybody remember anything that was really big the 1970s that I could talk about? Feel free to throw anything my way. Thanks.

The Scarsdale Diet was one; that was where you had a meal of bland white meat and some leafy green vegetable (at least that's what it looked like to me on tv).
The author of The Scarsdale Diet boo, Dr Herman Tarnower, made headlines of a more tabloid nature in 1980 when he was shot and killed by his girlfriend, Jean Harris.

My mother was on the Atkins diet even way back then. Still don't quite get it but it seems to work in the short term for alot of people.

There was the Pritikin diet too, I think it was in the 70's and 80's.
There was also the big jogging/running craze in the 70's, one jogging guru was named Jim Fixx, and ironically he dropped DEAD from running!
