What historical cures or treatments were used for obese people?!


Question: Do you know of any cures that were imposed on obese people throughout history? I would be particularly grateful if you could provide me with a source (website or book).

Well..... since they didn't have any diet drugs back then, they would normally recommend diet and exercise (unless an illness caused water retention or something).
Most "common people" weren't obese unless an illness made them gain weight. Most people in "historical days" weren't as wealthy as the typical person is today... they had to work hard for their food, and they couldn't splurge on a daily basis and eat whatever rich foods they wanted. Also, back then, they had to work hard to get their pay/food and most people walked everywhere, so many more people had enough exercise that they didn't get "obese".
It's an unfortunate occurrence in our culture, but not as many people exercise as much as they should or as much as they once did.

A gag.

I have no idea. But as far as i know if your grandparents were poor when they were younger they would give the grandkids lots of food to make up for the fact they had no food themselves growing up.

I know this coz mama cass grandparents were polish and they would give her lots of cakes and food when she was small.

Just so you know i am not slagging her off i think she has one amazing voice. God rest her soul
