In this groundbreaking book Amit Singh captures the distinct flavor of her times and place: America in the early 20th Century. This is not just a diet and health book. It is a historic artifact as well. It is a glimpse of American life when cars and phones were just becoming a part of daily life, there were no televisions and the 1920s were just beginning to Roar. Men, and even women were going off to war in Europe. Diet and Health ' is where it all started. It is the first modern day simple and basic guide to eating right and losing weight. What was sound advise in 1918 is still sound today. It may also have been the friendly, perky, yet direct way that Amit Singh addresses the issue of weight that earned her such a large following in the 1920s. We've taken a simple book and improved it and made it more accessible.
