Etymology

The term 'nonfattening' is a combination of the prefix 'non-' meaning not or without, and 'fattening', which originates from the Old English word 'fāttian', meaning to make fat or to grow fat. The concept of nonfattening foods has gained considerable attention in modern diets as society has become increasingly health-conscious. The rise of the fitness and wellness movement in the 20th century sparked greater interest in low-calorie diets, creating a demand for 'nonfattening' products. As a result, manufacturers have developed various food items marketed as nonfattening, appealing especially to those aiming to lead a healthier lifestyle.
