My guess would have been salad, chicken, and chocolate.

I read an article during the height of the "Stop the Madness!" high-carb lowfat craze that showed the average American woman lived on only five foods. I remember three of them were yougurt, bananas and bagels.

My guess is it might have more to do with exercise, or the lack thereof, than with what we eat. It certainly is in my case. Well that and my habit of passing out after a big meal.

ATKINS low-carb. 1998 was all about that. I remember cause I tried it in college and after one day I wanted to puke and then I gave up.

i think we were obsessed with carbs during this decade... and sat fats in the 90s? Snackwells were everywhere 10 years ago.
