We did this diet as a family. Ate it for breakfast & lunch & then just one actual meal for dinner 🤭 During my ED therapy I came to the realisation that my ED was most definitely passed down through the maternal side of my family. Probably because of sh!t like this 🤷....& We'd eat it with water instead of milk to cut down the calories even more

Snapped me right back to my childhood seeing this! I recently rewatched The Nanny and 😮😢 the reference to weight every 4 seconds was something. Back then this was so normal it didn’t phase us. It’s truly no wonder that many of us have body imagine and/or weight issues That is of course if you are old enough to have been around during that amazing period in time

Not only were we inundated by this crap on TV commercials that were trying to sell us cereal diets, but they actually used these ridiculous skin caliper tests in gym class at school. Most of us weren't fat (it was the early 80s, when kids still played outside and rode bikes everywhere), but we all failed that worthless test. And yes, it was only for the girls in class. 🙄

See I eat the special k with the freeze-dried strawberries for breakfast because it's my favorite cereal and it tastes good, not because I delude myself into thinking that it's making me lose weight. If I know it's going to be a while till lunch I'll add a hard boiled egg or maybe some sausage too. 😋

Special K's Pinch An Inch advertisement (Kellogg's, 1984). It still haunts me. Oddly the idea wasn't new prior to this advertisement being release.
Skinfold calipers; a British instrument was optimised and introduced in 1955. A few years later, a new and different skinfold caliper was introduced in 1961. The North American instrument was developed by Karl Lange ( in the period from 1954 to 1957 and received the pseudonym. Later, in the 1980s, the first electronic skinfold caliper was introduced under the pseudonym Skindex®. Source: National Library of Medicine.
They are still used.
It's interesting that they stopped this advertisement but replaced it with a skinfold measurement using digital body fat calipers to measure body fat percentage.

80s kid here...
From the age of 6 until I was an adult, I could either have special K, weight watchers shake, or grapefruit and yogurt.
I try to think 🤔 about how much information about EVERYTHING has changed. I think it may have been the best they knew what to do at the time. Heck, diet is the 1st thing doctors still say before anything. I may still be overweight, but i am trying to fix over 30 years of damage, but about asking me what i eat instead of assuming that because of my size, i eat like a pig. FF 35 years I just got diagnosed with IBS and intolerances that are causing massive water retention. So I have been eating foods that are either inflammatory or disagree with my body. So dieting the way I was raised did nothing besides giving me an ED.
FF 10 months post diagnosis, I have lost over 100 lbs by eliminating those foods..

And these are the commercials that spurred by ED, I was probably in elementary / middle school during this era.😅 such formative years 🤦♂️. These were the commercials that confused me, I thought how come an adult woman can be full off of that but I'm still starving?? Now I know she wasn't full either!! 😂
Love that you are calling out this insane Behavior in media. It's very healing to my inner chil

Ah, yes, the pinch an inch. I remember that from childhood. I asked my mom about it. She snapped at me, saying that "you're just pinching skin." The next time we visited my doctor, she had him lecture me about the dangers of "diet culture."
