Ancient Diet Secrets

Did you ever find old family photos and notice how thin everyone was back then? Remember watching reruns of shows from the early years of TV and realising how great everyone looked? People didn't diet back then, they didn't exercise, there was no South Beach or Atkins either. In fact each morning breakfast consisted of bacon (mmmmm bacon), eggs, toast with real butter (yummy, fatty butter) and pancakes fried in Crisco. Lunch was usually a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake.

They really weren't that thin ...

Marilyn Monroe was 37-26-35.

Mae West was 39-27-39.
Greta Garbo was 35-27-38.

What they had were curves and glamour and style.
