Interesting thing - reading a novel from the late 1800s and this character, a soldier, is not trying to lose weight but just maintain it so as to stay within fitness standards. Author mentions that he avoids grains (well, there was some archaic word he used, but when I looked it up, it essentially meant food products made from grain and corn-derived flours, etc) and sweets. That's all he really did.
Even back then they knew what was what. It's funny that civilization feels the need to keep walking in circles on the basics.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
