There was that great series of shows on PBS where people had to live in other eras, colonial, pioneer, etc. The ones that ended up homesteading in Wyoming, or was it Montana, all lost a ridiculous amount of weight, especially the men. One on particular was quite alarmed about it until it turned out his blood pressure etc had improved significantly.
