How do ppl stay all skinny back then in the 60s and 70s without all the current gym craze and fad diets?馃馃馃

No gyms, no fad diets, ppl ate normal food just like us nowadays (with all the sweets, junk and whatnot), yet somehow overweight ppl were nearly non-existent back in the 60s and 70s.馃槍馃槍馃槍

Meanwhile ppl nowadays r counting every calories they put into their mouths, going 2 gyms regularly and deliberately starving themselves day after day with all sorts of fad diets (like keto, cico, paleo, carnivore, intermittent, liquid etc.) yet ppl somehow still manage 2 stay fat nowadays.馃槱馃槱馃槱

Home cooked food from raw ingredients .

Kids walked to school and played outside

People socialised,

Tjere weren't as many labour saving devices : you had to chop wood , hand wash clothes ,or at least hang them out and then iron them.

Rugs had to be beaten - no vacume cleaners .

One car per family.

No internet and only one TV if you were lucky

People visited others to stay in touch.

More labour related jobs?

One income earner ,so money was tight.

People didn't sit around as much.

@OogieBoogie Yes, I always laugh at my neighbors that pay to have their yardwork done, then pay to go to the gym...
