Have you ever noticed when looking at old photos, vintage media or perhaps from your personal recollections that women in the 1950s seemed much thinner than today?
Some key differences: 1950s: Women aged 20 - 39 years were, on average, thin. If you were fat your doc said: "You eat too much." Calorie consumption hit an all-time low. A 25” waist was a clothing size 10. High fructose corn syrup consumed: None.
Today: Women of all ages are, on average, overweight. Obesity is now a “disease.” Calorie consumption is at an all-time high. A 25” waist is closer to a clothing size “zero." High fructose corn syrup consumed: 76% of corn sweeteners.
Is it really true that American women didn’t get fat in the 1950s? Detailed gender-specific data wasn’t published during the 50s, but an early 1960s government sponsored survey revealed that women aged 20 - 29 were, on average, a little over thirty-four pounds lighter than women in the same age bracket today! Women aged 30 - 39 were about thirty pounds lighter! It's true that women are taller today than the 50s, but not enough to explain the gain. In 1960 the average American woman was 63.1." Today she is 63.8."
What did women know or practice back then that kept them immune from an obesity epidemic? Could it be a matter of simply not consuming high fructose corn syrup or fast food? Not so fast. The root of the problem is far more expansive!
In this ebook you will be given access to many of the 50s slimming secrets women knew. It reveals pre-BMI medical metrics for healthy weight and eating which were far more stringent and based upon medical studies instead of comparing people to a norm. Also included are vintage US government food recommendations and an examination of the psychological climate and marketing practices to women in the 50s. You’ll find suggestions for integrating “outdated” healthy practices and attitudes into your diet to combat and replace the toxic practices and processed foods prevalent today often mistaken for “progress.” This heavily researched ebook contains over seventy linked citations and scans of vintage source materials.
"Diet" literally means "the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats," and by applying the 1950s diet to her own life author Averyl Hill lost sixteen pounds and four inches around her waist and has kept it off years later. She didn’t join a gym or spend money on branded, pre-packaged diet foods or pills, nor did she start wearing a string of pearls and heels while dusting her home. Going backwards can mean forward thinking!
Please note that this book does not contain recipes, nor is it a specific, prescribed diet plan. It gives you tools to help facilitate healthy choices about how you eat, move and think about food, weight-loss and overall fitness. Unlike fad weight loss diets today that haven't made us any slimmer, the 1950s diet worked for millions of American women-- a decade of hard evidence is hard to dispute-- and we can learn to adopt it again today!
About the Author
Averyl Hill’s training and internships at The University of Vermont, where she earned a Master of Science in Counselor Education, included treating addictions and eating disorders. She is outdated by design, lives in a mid-century time capsule house and has spent over a decade immersed in vintage books, articles and other media related to food, lifestyles, health, beauty, well being and diets. Her approach is cognitive-behavioral with the belief that healthy eating and living is a bio-psycho-social issue and that sometimes “outdated” principles and practices are wiser than those of today.

Clear, to the point. THAT'S what is needed!
By A Customer
This book is an easy and clear read. Averyl does her homework. Her message might be lost in a sea of books of (eat this, not that) But she make clear lines about how we are responsibility on how much we put into our mouths. While this is an easy read to get through, I am going to re read it to highlight certain areas she states.
We all seems to be going backward in this day and age but I don't think that is a bad thing. In fact, we need to.
Counting calories DOES work. (have we gotten lazy?) I know I listening to the hype, but when I did this (counting calories) I was more careful about WHAT I ate and HOW much instead of looking at the fat content. "Fat will keep you full", as one french woman states. I look at empty calories as the real *killer*
I would heavily recommend this book along with French Women don't get Fat. I actually lost weight reading that book
Who really needs more than 4oz of dessert anyway?
Avery woke me back up to be responsible... for myself!! God bless this women. :o)
Averyl Hill's website... gems of wisdom!!!
snark freecookery. blogspot .com (when typing run all of this website together)
Thanks for reading!!!

It's NOT "just another diet".
By R-L
I purchased this e-book about 4 months ago. I came across the title and wondered what the difference was between how people ate in the 50s and how we eat now, and the difference that has created in the average weight of society from then to now. Is it really just a matter of eating too much? I found that hard to believe since I’ve spent most of my life NOT eating too much, dieting in an effort to keep my weight down, only to find myself regaining the weight, and several times dipping into the obese range. I’ve always eaten healthy for the most part, with some junk food thrown in here and there, but nothing that would explain why it was so difficult for me to lose weight permanently. So, needless to say, the idea of eating too much did not apply to me. Initially, the book seemed to be the same advice of eating less and moving more, which is frustrating, to say the least, for those of us who have done that, over and over, without lasting results. But, the more I read, the more I realized that was not the case, and it wasn't the take away message for me. Yes, that may be the answer for some people, but what about the rest of us? The more I read the book and blog, I began to see where I missed the mark in my efforts to lose weight and keep it off. At this point, let me share with you a conversation I had with my sister at that time, which had a huge impact on me, and helped to shed some much needed light on my dieting struggles vs. what is talked about in this book.
After purchasing this book, I was talking to my sister about it to see what her thoughts were about the differences then vs. today. My sister, who is older than me by a good bit, said she remembers our Grandma always "watching" her weight. She asked her once how it was that she didn't gain weight - she was petite her whole life; never had a problem with her weight. It turns out, she ate just as the book suggests. She didn't follow any crazy fad diets or restrict her calories to a crazy low level. She ate sensibly and healthy, and monitored how much she ate according to her weight. If her weight went up a bit, she would cut back her eating just SLIGHTLY, especially desserts, to get it back down. It was easy for her to overindulge in sweets/desserts without realizing it because she loved them. So, she had them, but would cut back on them if her weight started to go up. I guess that's how she knew if she was eating too many of them, by monitoring her weight. My Grandma had it right. It's a win/win doing it that way. Of course, the majority of the sweets/desserts she ate were homemade, as well as her meals. I think that's a good way to incorporate foods into your diet that you really love and don't want to do without.
After this conversation with my sister, and skimming through the book and blog again to solidify my revelation, I realized that the MAIN difference between what this book is saying and the dieting of today, is the approach. A lot of people seem to get confused by the author’s use of the word diet. She is using it as it was understood at the time, meaning, what a person ate. Today, diet refers to weight loss efforts. That would be called “reducing”. Knowing this is not a "diet" book, you'll understand why you don't/won't find recipes, meal plans, etc. Anyhow, like many others, I have followed the modern day concept of dieting…Atkins, WW, BFC, Paleo, Small Plate, 1200 Calorie Diet, Zig Zag, Low Fat, everything. You get the point. I thought, all along, that any of these diets could be “healthy”, I just needed to find which one worked for me, because, you know, everyone is different…Well, that may be true, but nothing worked for me – low carb, high carb, low fat, high fat, high protein, moderate protein. What else is there to try when you’ve tried it all, and still need to lose weight? Eating how my Grandma ate, the things that this book teaches, which brings me back to the difference of approach. Where dieting, or “lifestyle change” has you following rules, oftentimes too strict to stick with for a lifetime, and/or cutting calories lower than is comfortable or safe, eating this way is about eating common, everyday food, preferably homemade (I’m sure for those who are too busy to make home cooked meals, “watching” your weight can still help you stay on track – home cooked is just preferable for obvious reasons), and making SLIGHT adjustments in the amount you’re eating to keep the scale down. No need to do anything out of your normal routine, just make tiny adjustments along the way to keep your weight down. That is what real, sensible eating is; still eating foods you recognize and enjoy, no need for deprivation, no overcompensating restriction, or panic fasting days when you see the scale go up a few pounds. This is about calm, rational, realistic eating.
My Grandma was not a calorie counter, she simply adjusted her eating slightly, as needed. After a lifetime of following various dieting methods, and counting calories, that’s the one thing I won’t do according to the book. I hate counting calories at this point, so I won’t. But, what I have decided to do to monitor my weight loss, is to follow what my Grandma did. Although she never got to a place where she needed to lose a lot of weight, her method of “watching” her weight works for losing weight as well. Instead of counting calories, I eat according to my hunger, and “watch” my weight to make sure that I’m not eating too much to lose. If I gain, I know to cut back just a tiny bit on my food. I’ve lost several pounds already, and although it’s not a lot, that’s my goal. I’m aiming to lose no more than .5-1 pound a week. The goal is not to lose weight quickly, which is another dieting idea I have had to let go of because it is not sensible, or long lasting, it just slows down your metabolism as a result of not eating enough calories, as many doctors/nutritionists are beginning to realize. I would not be surprised if that’s a big reason for the dismal 95% failure rate of modern dieting. Patience with your weight loss is necessary with this approach, if you want long term results. Anyhow, losing weight slowly like this will take a lot more time, but my ultimate goal is to lose the weight and keep it off this time so that I don’t have to go through weight loss/regain torture anymore. Speaking of regain, if your metabolism is slow from current dieting, you may regain some of the weight you have lost before you start losing, as you likely have experienced in the past from previous dieting attempts. I just thought I'd point that out in case that happens to anybody. That's just the normal yo-yo pattern of dieting. Once you stop regaining, if that happens, the ongoing application of this method should see you start to lose weight again, hopefully for the last time. I was already at a point where I had regained the weight I previously lost when I found this book, so I'm not dealing with regaining/gaining at this point. Once I lose this weight, I will maintain my weight loss following this same method, and continue to “watch” my weight, as my Grandma did, to keep it off. The modern concept of dieting does not provide lasting results, and that’s an important difference. I’ll be sure to come back and give updates.

Do More Housework, Eat Less and Lose Weight
By willow99
I was inspired by this book to do two things: follow a stricter eating program AND do more housework. Hey, how can that be bad? Honestly this is a very interesting and well-researched look back to the 1950s when fat was fat and nobody wanted to be fat. Although there is no sample diet or eating plan, it's clear that 1950s women walked more, did more active work, and at a whole lot less than today's women. We could all learn from our mothers and grandmothers. Recommended!
