This diet from the 1950's cuts down on more than just carbs.
Do the words “low-carb” and “fat-free” have you wishing for simpler times and less complicated meal preparations? This diet from the 1950’s cuts down on more than just carbs. Instead of avoiding certain foods, eliminate the utensils.
“Cut down on your silverware, and you’ll cut down on your weight,” promised Woman’s Day magazine in 1952.
Breakfast
Eat a fairly substantial breakfast, but set your place without a knife, so you can’t spread butter or jam on your toast.

Lunch
Have only soup or sandwich, easily eaten without a fork, and you won’t be able to indulge in macaroni, sausages, or chocolate cake.
Dinner
Dine on an apple, grapes, or crackers and cheese for dessert, and take your tea or coffee without cream and sugar; no spoon needed.
What do you think? Ready to try the “knife, fork, and spoon” diet concept? Hmmm … What will they come up with next?
