The whole world is going the diet way today. Either people are already on some or the other diet or are planning one. There are many reasons for this popularity of diets. Firstly, there is a definite paucity of nutritional content in the routine diet that we consume today. This is caused due to our hectic lifestyles which cause us to falter on our mealtimes and makes us resort to junk foods. Also, there is the fact that the food quality itself has degenerated due to the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals. But, most importantly, there is a gross ignorance about nutrition. Most people just do not know what it means to eat well.
