I'm not too thrilled with the idea that weight loss automatically equals better health. I watched some of Colonial House - that wasn't much of a healthy diet. I think most of the time, people in the past were thinner because of a) lots more activity and b) malnourishment. Our problem is less one of gluttony and more one of inactivity. Also we equate thinness with fitness, which is often very wrong.
