Scottish Diet Weight Factors

Three major regions comprise bonny Scotland: The Highlands, The Midland Valley and The Southern Uplands. The area is gemmed with ancient volcanoes. With the sea at hand, this nautical land mass is subjective to the colliding of arctic airflow and warm winds of the gulf, thus making Scotland's climate a mixmaster of weather conditions ranging from mild to potential deadly.

Weight Impact: When the climate is humid, the body collects fluids more easily and weight is reflected on the scales. In colder regions, the body requires more calories to support itself.

Scotland's Food Sources, the Basic Daily Diet

Some of the foods prominent in the Scottish diet are: oats, wild berries, kippers, smoked herring, brown trout (battered with oats and fried), cereal, toast, porridge with salt - no sugar, roasted lamb, mutton pie, bannock, shortbread, blood pudding, bacon, eggs, sausages, potato scones, Scotch Broth, beer, whiskey, and tea.

Afternoon tea is becoming a thing of the past, but early dinners mirror this tradition is what is called 'High Tea'. Some people dine later in the evening, as late as 8 or 9.

Weight Impact: Late dining is one of the biggest contributors to weight gain. Food is taken into the body for energy purposes, but at this late hour, the body is preparing to shut down into rest mode for the day, so the food processing is harder for the body to accomplish, even when calorie (energy) requirements have not been met for the day.

The introduction of modern foods into the modern day diet has proved disastrous for almost all ethnic groups. Modern foods are fattier foods, richer foods, creamer foods, sugary foods, fast food and super-sized foods and servings.
