MoreDr. Lulu Hunt Peters' book Diet and Health: With Key to the Calories was extremely popular so it remained on the non-fiction bestseller lists. In the book, Dr. Hunt introduced a few new exercise routines and the concept of a calorie to American Women so thoroughly that her book even provides instruction on the words pronunciation. She preaches that women can eat whatever they want as long as a strict diet of 1,200 calories a day in maintained, in order to keep the ideal weight that her system suggests (similar to BMI). She explains in her book that "hereafter you are going to eat calories of food. Instead of saying one slice of bread, or a piece of pie, you will say 100 calories of bread, 350 calories of pie" and shows women how to loose weight with a formula.
In order to be thin, women must resist temptations, which she explains with several biblical references. Her book simply spread the notion that counting calories was the solution to the message that the fashion industry (Vogue, Chanel, etc.) was implying: being fat was no longer in style, through the design of their clothing. The book was written with the mindset that all women wanted to loose weight, because being thin, to her, was an issue of self-esteem. According to Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters, who lost 50-70 lbs with her diet regimen, dieting meant being beautiful, and being in total control of the self, so she saw people who did not have control over their weight as morally distraught. She also mentions other reasons, beyond self-improvement, that made her diet even more appealing.
