Before we came up with carefully designed diet plans and low fat food products to keep women in socially acceptable shape, women would experiment with food and create their own diet charts to keep those curves in check.
Especially the women in show business. Crumbling under the pressure of maintaining a desirable body for a successful career, women would devise their own approach to healthy eating.
