Description: #WhenGainingWeightWasTrended #1930s #1960s Become my Patron: patreon.com/luthluther With a diet industry worth $60.9 billion in the U.S. alone, it is near impossible to imagine a world when being skinny was a bad thing. But these ads, published in magazines and newspapers from the Thirties to the Sixties show how weight gain was aspire to weight loss. Demonstrating an attitude that could not be more far removed from the current vogue for size zero, the ads promote supplements promising speedy weight gain for a sexier body. A typical 1949 diet, while similar in calories, was more heavy on vegetables and complex carbohydrates, which are digested slowly, keep blood sugar levels stable and are filling. Post-war women also burned many more calories through housework and having to walk or cycle everywhere. Skinny men were also inspired to gain weight. It was the period of active lifestyles where the majority were burning up calories each day and being overweight was not as common as today.
