Weight Reduction Through Diet: a Social Guidance Film from 1951

Hi, guys.

I’ve been on here since April, and I’m about 5-10 [stubborn] pounds away from my goal. I think vintage social guidance films are hilarious, and I watch them on YouTube on occasion. Today, Weight Reduction through Diet (1951) popped up in my recommended, and I clicked on it thinking it was going to be a shitshow, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the information presented was actually very in line with how weight loss is viewed today.

Obviously, nearly 70 years later, there are some points that are socially outdated (see areas where fat normally accumulates that ruin the figure and lining all of the participants up) and it is sponsored by the National Dairy Counsel so there are ample servings of milk and generous pats of butter (RIP my lactose intolerant gut), but it was a fun little watch with some nice reminders.

I’m just wondering how the two days’ of food shown adds up to only 1,400 calories each—even with all the milk and butter!

Anyways, this is just meant to be a lighthearted post with a peek into how weight loss was shown in a bygone era. Mods, please delete if this isn’t in line with sub rules. Thanks!
