Diet and Health With Key to the Calories
Book • 2012
First published in 1918, 'Diet and Health With Key to the Calories' was written by Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters, who lost 70 pounds using the calorie-counting method she described in the book.
The book was a significant bestseller, selling between 800,000 and 2 million copies, and it was the first weight-loss book to achieve such widespread success.
Peters' work popularized the idea of reducing calorie intake for weight loss, a concept that was revolutionary at the time.
The book also included calorie planning and different types of diet foods to help with long-term weight loss, particularly targeting American women during the context of World War I food shortages.
