Diet and Health With Key to the Calories [Annotated]

The publisher's special commentary chapter and the author's biography are included in this version.

Diet and Health With Key to the Calories was extraordinarily popular due to its wit and entertainment as most people found. It had remained on the list of nonfiction best sellers during 1922 -1926. Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters, the author of the book, introduced the concept of a calorie along with some new exercise routines to American women. One of her instructions is the strict diet of 1,200 calories a day to maintain a woman’s ideal weight.
