The Fletcherism Diet

A very popular fad diet from the late 19th century was 'Fletcherism' - a diet method created by a man called Horace Fletcher who believed that people could lose weight by chewing all solid foods until they became liquid form before swallowing.

He said one should chew every mouthful of food at least 32 times.

According to records, writers Franz Kafka and Henry James were devotees of Fletcherism. However, it is said that after five years, James developed a "sickish loathing" of food.

There is really no scientific basis for his claims, and no reason for you to do this, although it is good to eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly.

It just won't help you lose weight. However, you may find that you feel full before you finish your food because of the slower pace of eating.
