The Dial Diet of 1955
Within the cozy confines of the attached PDF file rest in honored glory the digital reproduction of seven (7) tried-and-true diets from 1955:
• The Liquid Diet
• The Spring Cleaning Diet
• The du Pont Diet
• The Basic Seven Diet
• The Famous Clinic Diet
• The Hard and Fast Diet
• The Daily Dozen Diet
They were all the necessary diet choices required for the (so-called) Pageant Diet Selector Dial, which is a part of the download. Seeing that there is not a single diet that is right for everyone, there is attached herein a paper dial that can be referred to daily – one for women and the other for men:
Looka at the outside band of the wheel for your age and activity group (whether you lead an active or a sedentary life). Then, select the number of pounds you want to loose.
– finally select the diet or combination of diets, indicated by the number on the inner wheel and follow the directions.
