A typical diet in the 50s included a boiled egg for breakfast, a main meal at lunchtime of home-cooked meat or fish, potatoes and seasonal vegetables, followed by a light early evening meal of omelette or soup.
Plus, fewer cars and labour-saving devices meant women were more active and burnt more calories in a day. No wonder they kept so trim.

Tips on how to get curvy body
Now we're focusing on achieving a firmer boobs, flat and toned Tommy, tiny waist, broader thighs and bigger butts.- Eat Right Eat healthy:
Drinking water in the early hours of the morning helps in flattening the Tommy.
5 key foods to shrink your middle
1 ALMONDS - They're high in essential fatty acids, calcium and magnesium, which help stop water retention. Plus they're packed with vitamin E, which can balance your hormones.
2 WHOLEGRAINS - Low GI because the sugar they contain breaks down slowly, which leaves you fuller for longer and less likely to snack.
3 BROCCOLI - High in chromium, a mineral that helps the pancreas stabilise insulin release, so you won't get the fluctuating blood sugar levels that can lead to cravings.
4 MUSHROOMS - They're high in vitamin B3 (niacin) which helps reduce stress and convert protein into energy.
5 OILY FISH - It's a great source of leptin, a protein that acts like a hormone to control your appetite
- Exercise helps tones and shapen the body: There are exercise that are meant for specific parts of the body, for example cardio is to help loose weight generally from the entire body. To get a Curvy body you don't want to loose all of those fat, we're targeted on regaining some little fat around the thigh area. So in that case if Cardio must be inclusive during exercises it should be limited to atleast twice a week.
Press ups helps broaden the shoulders and tones the arms.
For hour glass figure and Apple shaped we might want to work on the boobs area; I'd recommend push ups, swimming and bench presses.
Exercise for lower body to help enhance the butt includes squats,running etc
To get slimmer waist swimming, crunches and sit ups usually helps in shrinking the waist.
I'd also recommend the use of waist-trainers for more effects and better result. But NB: you don't have to use waist trainers if you feelyou're finding it difficult to breathe when you have it on and excessive use of waist trainers could be harmful so use with caution.
Use wonder products e.g. botcho cream. These products promises to stream line the Tommy and butt area, burning unwanted fat and leaving a smooth skin leaving you with flatter Tommy, slimmer waist and bigger butts.
