People these days are beginning to think twice before having people over for lunch or dinner.
Soaring food prices of everything from tomatoes to tapioca, from potatoes to pumpkins are part of
the problem, but only a part.
The real problem is diets. Many if not most of the people you know, gender and age no bar are on
some diet of some sort. To further complicate matters, everyone's on a different diet from everyone
else. In a middle class India everyone is becoming health conscious, diets are the latest fad and going
on a special designer diet is even more fashionable than snapping selfies with your latest model
customized iPhone.
There's one diet, called the Atkins, in which people will eat only proteins (meat, fish, eggs) and
veggies, but no cereals or carbs, as carbohydrates are referred to in diatese, the special language in
which dieters speak to each other.
Then there are people who will eat all carbs, but won't eat wheat because that has gluten in it. There
are diehard non vegetarians who become vegetarians on Tuesday or during certain phases of the
moon. There are vegans who are not only pure vegetarians but won't eat any animal products, like
paneer, cheese though food cooked in pure ghee is presumably exempt.

There's even something called the paleo diet or caveman's diet in which you are only allowed what
are prehistoric ancestors ate before they invented agriculture. So paleo's will eat only meat, and
berries and other stuff that grows in the wild.
The keto diet is the latest low carb craze to hit the active scene. In truth, it's been around for a while
decades, in fact and has been used in treatment of children with epilepsy; but the term is now finding
a mainstream health following. On the plus size, it offers weight loss, and on the minus side,
according to few nutrition experts, there isn't much negative about it.
The keto (short for ketogenic) diet works when your body produces ketones from broken down fats
in the liver for energy, rather than relying on insulin to convert carbohydrates. The body enters a
state of ketosis in layman's terms, suing fat rather than sugar for energy.
Will diet spell the doom of the shared dinner table? Not at all. There is for sure one form of diet that
will solve the problem. It's the special diet called fasting'. The fast feast will provide the perfect social
evening, guaranteed to reduce both food bills and waistlines.
