"If you've ever wondered how women stayed in such great shape before the days of juice cleanses, gluten free everything, and training programs fit for Victoria Secret angels, Marilyn Monroe may be able to give you some insight into that. In the September 1952 edition of Pageant Magazine, the late star revealed her extremely strange diet to the world in a feature that was titled "How I Stay in Shape."
In her own words, she outlines her not-so rigorous workout routine and her liquid breakfast consisting of two raw eggs poured into a glass of warm milk. This became her morning routine even when traveling. For dinner, she never dined out. Instead of opting for the best restaurant in town, she'd stop at a market near her hotel for steak, liver, or lamb chops, which she'd broil herself using an electric oven. On the side, she'd eat raw carrots. And when she wanted to treat herself, it was all about an ice cream sundae. "It's a good thing, I suppose, that I eat simply during the day, for in recent months I have developed the habit of stopping off at Will Wright's ice cream parlor for a hot fudge sundae on my way home from my evening drama classes. I'm sure that I couldn't allow myself this indulgence were it not that my normal diet is composed almost totally of protein foods.”
Read her best quotes from the interview, and if you're tired of chia seeds and spin class, staying in shape ala Marilyn might be worth trying out for yourself."

MH thanks for that. I really enjoyed reading it. I have old Strength Health magazine which showed her lifting with light barbell and dumbbell and doing situps and leg raises. She was wearing cut off jeans and white halter top so cannot forget it. So wholesome looking.

I think she was 35 22 34 or something like that. So if you add those up and double it you should have plenty to grip

Strange how she didn't mention her amphetamine consumption for weight management.
