1.Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe discussed her bizarre diet and eating habits in the 1952 issue of Pageant Magazine. Her breakfast consisted of two raw eggs whipped in hot milk. Her favourite dinner was either steak, lamb chops or liver with raw carrots. She would also indulge herself with a hot fudge Sunday after her evening drama classes.
2.Audrey Hepburn
Audrey would have brown bread with jam for breakfast, and her lunch consisted of veal or pasta. She would pair this with fresh vegetables from the garden. For dinner, she would often have soup with chicken and vegetables.
3.Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor's diet in her younger years and throughout the 1960s consisted of bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. For lunch, she would have a peanut butter and bacon sandwich.
4.Sophia Loren
Sofia Loren has been known to endorse the Mediterranean diet, emphasizing eating many fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, whole grains and olive oil.
5.Mae West
May West never tried to slim down like other old Hollywood stars. Instead, she would speak about fattening up her parts by eating creamed chicken, buttered toast, lobster Newburg and chocolate whipped cake.
6.Katharine Hepburn
Katharine Hepburn claimed to be no health nut and said, "I deny myself nothing. I think what you should eat is perfectly obvious. I just don't care to eat those things, so I don't.
7.Jean Harlow
Jean Harlow had to put herself on a rigorous diet to slim down for her movie roles. Her diet plan consisted of two tomatoes and grilled meat for both lunch and dinner.
8.Greta Garbo
Gerta Garbo had a reputation for being a private recluse. She became friends with the nutritionist Gayelord Hauser, and she followed all of his fad diet suggestions.

11.Betty Grable
Betty Grable was a popular pin-up model during the 1940s and was famous for her legs. She would train through dancing.
12.Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth stayed slimed by dancing eight hours a day. She also had a rigorous diet and never ate starches, greasy foods and avoided all bread and pastries.
13.Ava Gardner
Ava Garder did not follow a strict diet and indulged in a very high-calorie diet.
14.Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly hardly had time to exercise, so she would focus on dieting instead.
15.Jane Russell
Jane Russel hated diets and never counted calories. Instead, she would cut alcoholic drinks if she needed to cut back; she also played tennis and golf.
16.Gloria Swanson
Actress Gloria Swanson was way ahead of her time and a trailblazer for health.

I heard a story that Gloria Swanson was so devoted to healthy eating, she would brown bag her meals to awards dinners. The bags were discreetly given to the wait staff and she was served the food she brought.

[@laurena9563]

To be honest, that's genius. That's almost like how there are dietary considerations taken into account today at fancier dinners, but Gloria was ahead of her time (plus honestly, I feel like a lot of richer foods, like steak, literal meat and potatoes etc., were on par for the course for 'fancier' food at the time. I'd also probably bring something lighter along to eat as well.

As a young mother, I was extremely active too. I was a housewife with 2 little boys for 10 years, and then went to nursing school. I cleaned house every day, walked, rode bikes with my boys and before they were old enough to help with cutting grass, I'd do it a lot of times because I liked making my husband's life easier. He was a hard worker and had a lot of stress on the job. I laid his clothes out, brought his coffee to him before he got up, fixed his lunch, and his dinner was ready when he got home. I don't know why I'm telling y'all all of this, but it was good life. I'd like to try that perfume!

As far as dating advice, just be your authentic self, expect to be respected and if you really like the guy, don't text and call all the time or watch him on social media! Guys don't like that as much as girls do! Play a little 'hard to get', because guys don't like being chased. Remember, you're worth it! Thank goodness we didn't have all of that back in the 60's or I'd have driven myself crazy!😂 My first husband and I were married for 30 years, when he suddenly passed of a heart attack. My sons and I were destroyed. I never wanted to get married again, but God had other plans. Four years later I met my second husband online! Don't laugh! We both said that God put us in each other's path. We got married and had 12 good years together. He became ill with cancer and I lost him 2 years ago. Whether it's suddenly or expected, both are devastating . I'd better hush or I'll end up in a pile of tears! Sorry for the novel!

Exercise is a HUGE aspect of health. Was told it's like the other side of the coin

[@Klitcummander]

It's a part of health but food is 80% of it

video: a strange recipe mixing cottage cheese and sour cream me: um, you mean the thing I used to have for breakfast at least once a week as a kid?

[@gerussialla]

In Russia it is very popular to mix cottage cheese(Tvorog)which is usually dry ,with sour cream it is yummy!

[@tammylewis9324]

Worst crazy diet ever that a family member did. 1st days menu- 6 boiled eggs spread over 24 hours. 2nd day- 6 wieners. 3rd day- 6 bananas.....NUTS

[@skeptigal2785]

Were NUTS the fourth day?

[@fabiwilliams4644]

I remember hearing the super models use to do a diet of champagne & cigarettes?

[@victoriawhite3662]

My grand father followed a diet in the sixties called” martinis and whipped cream.” Then he had his first heart attack. My parents thought it was funny in a morbid sort of way, and kept the diet book by that name for 20 years after he died.

[@serenatwilite4005]

@@victoriawhite3662 I have a copy of that book, got it in a used bookstore in the 70's. From what I remember it had a lot of the diet secrets of celebrities of the time. It was one of my favorite diet books. It made dieting seem a little more exotic and glamorous, instead of deprivation.

[@gingerdude]

The 70s even spat out the Eggs & White wine diet... Sick way to kill your heart

🤔 Because at a certain time period Hollywood was government run I wonder if some of the diets that the actresses claimed that they were on were dictated by them. Also what foods were more accessible at the time. 🤔

Mae west was absolutely beautiful! Inside and out!

[@mimiduquette8786]

My Grandmother used to say that Mae West was, "Some babe!"!

[@youtubefreakyoutubefreak8071]

I'm gonna have to try some of these diets

[@marliseisrael3017]

I like the one where you eat whatever you want one day out if the week.

[@skeptigal2785]

That's the Rotation Diet. Pigging out once a week actually gives your metabolism a boost. It also gives you something to look forward to!

They had to be like sticks and probably never ate carbs.

[@ashleighsalinas8526]

Yeah I could never give up carbs lol or sweets. I'm a healthy weight but my teeth are starting to give me some trouble since having a baby, so I cut back the sugar a bit.

[@jnm2088]

It seemed like the women in the 20s and 30s had to be extremely thin while the women in the 50s and beyond were more about eating healthy and doing exercise
