Eat and Grow Thin or Pineapples

Eat and Grow Thin

Author: Vance Thompson

Known as one of America's first low-carb diet books, author Vance Thompson offers his strategy for "escaping the tragedy of growing fat."

What's more.

"The Mahdah menus tell you exactly what to eat just what food values should be banked every day. The menus are composed. Each luncheon is complete in itself. Each dinner provides exactly the nutriment needed and in exactly the right proportions. And breakfast? Oh, we of the slim-waisted gracilities breakfast on a cup of yellow tea or a cup of black coffee or a dish of fresh, ripe fruit."

Originally published in 1914 and long out-of-print, Eat and Grow Thin proves just how long low-carbohydrate eating plans have been around. Of course, contemporary dieters familiar with the current low-carb craze will find memorable advice here as well as a wealth of "slimming recipes" from the turn of the century.

VANCE THOMPSON (1863-1925) was an American author and literary "Renaissance Man" of the early 20th century.His work covers a wide-range of genres including poetry, stage plays, miscellaneous manuscripts as well as sheet music.
