How to Lose Weight by Healthy Eating: New 1940's 4K Colorization

You are what you eat, was the message to these army girls in 1943. An AI colorized educational film.
While exercise plays an important role, the advice on healthy eating and following a balanced healthy diet, is hard to argue with. Though some of the food on the 1940's menu would probably not pass muster today.
"It's both what you eat, and how much, that counts!"
"Your body is a machine, which runs on fuel called calories. Calories which are not used for activity are stored in the body as fat!"
It also includes a piece on shape-wear. Don't rely too much on your girdle. Any foundation garment wears out with use. But your muscles do just the opposite!"
This is an edit from a War Department official training film, held by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

It was the extra weight that made stuff seem to not work right or like there was something about "my shape" well.... It really was the extra fuel storage. I have it now. Lol. It makes life a pain.

[@kylarobinson287]

@@youtubingbabs I don't think this is a correct statement at all. People have different body structures. Just look at many photos of very small girls. You can still find some with a "balanced" body, some with wider hips, others with wider shoulders than the rest of their body. The default is not large chest, small waist, and same size hips as chest.

[@youtubingbabs]

@@kylarobinson287 I know... Not quite to that cartoon perfection... I just mean... I think their point is everyone gets more balanced with a healthy weight and toned muscles. Weight gain brings out more variations.. Like if you're apple, you're more apple. Same with pear etc... But yeah... Those drawings do create a magical effect.... But I'm filtering it with the understanding b they're drawings. But look at before and after of weight lifters male and female...you'd be surprised how much everyone ends up kind of looking the same...when their fat gets low and all their muscles are in form. Building muscles and lowering body fat makes pppl s bodies look more similar to a "norm" imo. I'm not saying it looks better... I love variety!! Just saying... It does kind of homogenize.. Wev just don't understand It's not a body type as much as you think than a condition of a body. We all really have mostly the same muscle and bones underneath. It's fat+ hormones that really varies the most. As far as the way curves pay out. But totally not as uniform as those hourglass cartoons. Or like thec rockettes. Lol

[@nailakamana763]

I think the main reason why obesity is so prevalent in modern society is because of the unnecessarily huge amounts of added sugars in about every food. It is said that sugar lights up the same parts of your brains as cocaine, which means foods with added sugars are more addictive. This explains why we keep eating more and more. Besides that, we also sit around for long hours: you sit in school, sit when you do your homework and then the day is over and you go sleep. And between all that we drive cars and take public transport. I haven't even mentioned office jobs.....

[@pokemontas8025]

yup sugar is the devil.😖 aside from obesity it's linked to a number of diseases and illnesses. I've given it up for about 6 months now. It's super hard because of how addicting it is. But I am starting to see health improvements.

@@AvonnaVentura right now I've found some sugar free ice cream and little chocolates to satisfy my cravings. They have xylitol as a sweetener. It's not perfect but it helps. Some people react differently to this ingredient, so you have to research it and test how it acts with your body. Monk fruit sugar is also supposed to be better. Of course I only take these in very small quantities and only when cravings get bad...you also have to watch out for processed food, fast food, etc as sugar is in all of these. If you wanna take baby steps I recommend cutting out sugar in your drinks. So juices, pop, energy drinks, coffee, etc. since they hide so much sugar in drinks and we quickly consume them.

Yeah same as today's best advice IE " Whole foods not junk " she actually said that - started off with water consumption ( so fattening fruit juice is automatically out ) not a word only implied about added sugar /carbs , the quote on that was " gives you energy "

[@happycook6737]

My grandmother said in the 40's lunch was a sandwich with 2 thin slices bread, 2 ounces meat or spread, 1 cookie, thermos of coffee, and a small piece of fruit if you had money. For dinner she served 1/2 cup soup, 1 lettuce wedge with dressing, 3 oz meat, potato or homemade noodles, and green vegetable (2/3 cup). Breakfast was 1 egg, 1 thin slice of toast, and tea or coffee. If she served juice it was 4 ounces only. She said most people walked, most housework was done by hand without machines, laundry was hung out to dry, and you walked to shop. She said small proportions of everything was eaten and food rationing during war efforts contributed to establishing portion sizes. She also said people rarely ate out. We have huge portions now and bounce from one fad diet to the next. We also have a ton of chemicals in our food supply and everything is highly processed.

That's a lot like how my family ate during the 60s and 70s. Always 3 meals a day, one helping only. You never took 2nds because that was greedy. No snacking because you needed to "save your appetite for dinner." No junk food because it would "rot your teeth." But a small home-made cookie after supper was allowed. And we were all skinny as models. No need to go on a diet.

[@marygray7422]

I think it's because what we think of as a serving size has changed so much since then

[@RPD-zo5cj]

Its definitely because of serving size rather than the item in question. If you look at old tea sets and glasses, cups, kitchen ware, that includes saucepans, pots casserole dishes. Much smaller than it is now. We're now living in a world of "The bigger the better & more bang for your buck." Rather than quality, no matter if its food or materials. This is the trouble most don't realize especially when dieting, most of the time its not the item, its your portion control. Mayo is fattening because of the egg, but egg is still healthy as long as your not eating dozens. Everything we eat must be in moderation, this is why a lot of people suffered with the gluten free diets and put more weight on rather than lost, because of the severe cut in dietary repetition. Potatoes are fattening yes, but they give a lot of energy and fill you up which saves you getting hungry in the middle of night and looking for snacks, that no doubt have loads of sugar in them due to our 'three meals a day, then dessert after dinner.' Outlook on life. Edit: No doubt its also because of all the added preservatives, chemicals hormones and GMO's that we're constantly using. Everything has a much longer shelf life than it ever did before. Its all less fresh, even some fruits have added sugar in their growth cycle so people can taste it better due to all the other highly refined sugars we're currently eating on a daily basis. If we lowered our sugar intake and preservatives, our bodies would be much healthier.

[@sheagaier7582]

I'm a health educator. Most of this is relevant today. However, more sugars and hormones have been added to our food so we need to be extra careful about how we eat. My one major issue is talking about curves "falling in the right places" literally everyone has different body types. Also exercise "bulking up the skinny girl" isn't fully accurate. If the "skinny girl" isn't eating enough after exercise, then she wont bulk up

[@740am]

This information about calories and the imagery is truly the most straight forward I’ve seen in all my days. I needed this when I was being educated in the public system. I didn’t know what a calorie was, nor that food gave energy, or contained vitamins. I didn’t know that all food could make your fat. I only vaguely knew. Call it stupid - I thirsted for knowledge, read all the time, but this knowledge somehow was absent. This was Canada, 90s - mid 00s.

Hi all, I absolutely didn't mean to bash other women. By "real" I meant the raw beauty we had back in the days where there were no cosmetic surgeries or procedures as common as now, everyone embraced themselves naturally and stayed that way. No offense to the women of this age though, we are stronger and prouder. It was just my opinion! Love for all💓

[@evangeliaiviioannou8405]

Healthy living and exercise are important, but we shouldn't be encouraging them ONLY to be thin/have a certain body shape. As long as you eat healthily and exercise, your body type shouldn't matter I think. We are all different and that's okay

[@TiffanyRay]

Being fat is not healthy

[@gracedaphne1213]

@@TiffanyRay that is true. But many girls who have normal weight starve themselves in order to look like the celebrities they admire until they become underweight.

[@anonym7347]

Pink GhostFace No one said it was but even at someone’s healthiest, they could still look bigger or smaller due to body shape, genetics, bone structure, where weight is held on an individual. The point is to take care of yourself for the sake of taking care of yourself, not just for vanity purposes(not that it isn’t okay to try and look good, too)

[@chiarapranzo3427]

My Mom was in the Army and brought a lot of these good habits with her, we rarely had candy in the house, always fruit for snacks. Meals were always, Veg, Starch, Meat and a big glass of milk. My sister and I grew up healthy and strong, I still prefer fruit as a snack over candy or cookies. Your genetics have a LOT to do with your weight. Look at your family.

[@OlgaPogozheva]

@@someone-wk2wj yes, that's me & that is my channel (you can see me on videos on the channel). But those pics (and videos!) don't show my tummy and my tights :( I'm rather short, so my ideal weight is about 54-55 kg. Currently, I'm 61-62. You might say it's not a big difference, but for my height, it IS, and every extra kilo shows. I do look fatter than an average girl here, and mind you, beauty standards in my country are VERY high. Not that I aim at being the next Miss Universe, but I'm used to being thinner, and now with the age? It's so much harder to keep myself in shape.

[@amyV10844]

Are you Russian? Yes the beauty standards are high there.. many beautiful women including yourself. I am in America where bigger and overweight is sadly normal nowadays. Well good luck on your weight loss goals, nothing wrong with self improvement. I am pregnant so I know I will probably have to lose weight afterwards. Love these old videos.

[@someone-wk2wj]

Olga Pogozheva I understand, it’s really hard to keep up with beauty standards. Where I live, they’re not even that high so I can’t imagine what it must be like for you. I wish you luck on your weight loss journey and remember that you are beautiful no matter what. I believe in you! ❤️

[@OlgaPogozheva]

amyn0va ahh thank you! I’m Ukrainian, but as you might guess it’s pretty much the same. And yep, pregnancy does add to the list unfortunately (in my case at least! But I’ve seen women who even lost weight after giving birth to their kids). I gave birth to twins and afterwards I had a hard time trying to lose weight and keep it within limits. Hormones are crazy! Let’s hope it’ll be easier for you 🤞 good luck!! 🌼and very best wishes 🌸

[@roselove001]

The plates and glassware were also smaller back then. We have BIG plates, bowls and glassware now! This encourages us to fill our plates and glasses and eat/drink more without even realizing it! Alcoholic beverage glasses, wine glasses, they are all much bigger than they used to be.

[@inspiredby624]

Wow this video is surprisingly accurate for it's time! The only part I'd disagree with is that they showed the skinny girl get bigger boobs from exercise. Not everyone is gonna have a perfect hourglass figure like a pin up girl no matter how much they try with a healthy diet and exercise.

[@plastichouseplant]

The illustrations were inaccurate but the info isn't entirely wrong. Building muscle in more "shapeless" areas will help balance out your body shape to an extent. I'll never have a big butt or hips but building glute muscles will at least help make it look less flat.

[@amer6706]

Haha, yep, I may have gained 7 lbs through lifting but I did not go up a cup size, that’s for sure.

[@Myperfectshell]

We’d be better off with this than most folks on KZbin, sadly.

[@nataniahkayser4968]

I really like that the three illustrated girls don't all look perfectly identical. The first one is still a little slim, the middle one is still curvy, and the last one is still a tiny bit out of proportion. Yes, they are all the same height and definitely have similarities (maybe to show us the comparison?), but it is not pressuring everyone to have the same body type.

Many of the comments below show just how much "body positivity" has ruined some women's understanding of healthy weight. Pear, apple, etc, are excuses we use to blame something other than our own responsibility. Trust me, I'm a hefty apple. This is an Army film for women in the service. Imagine that. Women serving in the military in the 1940s. If you're not aware of this, research it. It's fascinating.
