- Abstract
Throughout the history of mankind concerns related to health, well-being and fitness boosted the appearance of different dietary currents, which reflect not only scientific discoveries, but also the anguish of every age. This paper presents preliminary reflection on restrictive diets adopted nowadays, especially with regard to the spread of these new habits and the strategies adopted by dieters, as well as the impacts of these new ways of eating in terms of the exercise of table fellowship and sociability. Therefore, a literature review was conducted on the subject and the analysis of two semi-structured interviews of respondents who currently follow restrictive diets that prescribe high protein and low carbohydrate intake: Paleo and Dukan. The results point to a structural change in eating habits and the search for new forms of table fellowship and sociability that support and enhance these new food choices.
