Published in 1918, this book became a bestseller, the first real bible of the weight-loss movement. Laying stress on calories, rather than specific foods, and employing a withering tone to induce guilt linked to wartime patriotism, Peters preached a diet of 1,200 calories per day, combined with moderate exercise.
