http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html Old WW recipe cards from the 70's. The author of the site has added her own comments - some of them are quite amusing!

Those dishes look pretty disgusting.... :þ I was on WW in the 60s when I ballooned up to 130 lbs after I quit smoking and NEVER saw anything that THAT! *GAG*  SignatureWysong Age 60.

I went through them one afternoon and laughed at what you were expected to eat back then. > >> http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html > >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > *everything*). I went through them one afternoon and laughed at what > you were expected to eat back then. ================================ Geeze,... I don't remember any of that stuff when I went on WW for those 2 to 3 months. The baked fish didn't have heads on them *BARFF*.... and the low-carb veggies were great. I remember eating a lot of broccoli, stingbeans, cauliflower etc. Everything was good and it was healthy low-fat food. There were a lot of veggies and some fruit. Nothing looked like those pictures.

The author of the site has added > her own comments - some of them are quite amusing! LOL, I wonder if anyone actually ate that stuff. At my meeting this week some of the older members were talking about early WW plans and apparently one of them was mainly tripe and liver, I love liver but couldn't eat it every week and as for the tripe *bluergh* Tripe and liver were the reason I quit the first time I joined WW. Tripe??? Good GRIEF!!! My tastes have changed over the years to the point where I prefer fish to beef - but ain't no way I'm ever gonna eat organ meat. Nope.

Liver and kidneys are as far as I'll go but it is rare I'll have them as I'm the only one in our house that will eat them. > > http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > one of them was mainly tripe and liver, I love liver but couldn't eat it > every week and as for the tripe *bluergh* ============================ When my Aunt and cousins went to WW in the 1960s it was liver once a week and fish the other nights. Lots of tuna as well, for lunch I think. They skipped the liver and tuna. All 3 of them lost the weight (2 gained it all back). SignatureWysong Age 60.

I'm not suprised if they were skipping meals :) I couldn't have done the diet back then, having no variety in my menu would be torture. > > ============================ > > When my Aunt and cousins went to WW in the 1960s it was liver once a week > > and fish the other nights.

However my cousin admitted the real problem was "portion control" after the weight was gone, not the diet itself. Since they live by the river fish was always a large part of their diet, so that was not a problem. And of course WW allowed all kinds of fruit and veggies. It was an effective diet that worked for everyone willing to follow it. SignatureWysong Age 60.

Portion control has been a problem for me in the past but I think with the regular and sensible eating I've been doing the last 3 weeks I've gotten that under control. > >> I'm not suprised if they were skipping meals :) > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > veggies. > > It was an effective diet that worked for everyone willing to follow it. ====================== > Portion control has been a problem for me in the past but I think with the > regular and sensible eating I've been doing the last 3 weeks I've gotten > that under control. ============ I've also learned portion control. I wish I had started when I was bedridden that 18 months. I had no idea what was happening until my new Dr ran tests. By then I weighed 207 lbs and felt like I was going to die. The 80 lbs would never have got a hold had the first Dr done the blood work. See my website. I was always average to thin: http://www.heartoftn.net/users/windsong/index.html SignatureWysong Age 60.
