This is a vintage, legendary cookbook. Jean Nidetch (1923-2015) is the cofounder of the Weight Watchers organization. She was born to a cab driver and a manicurist in Brooklyn, New York. An overweight housewife with a self-confessed obsession for eating meat, Nidetch had experimented with numerous fad diets before, in 1961, following a regimen prescribed by a diet clinic sponsored by the New York City Board of Health. After losing 20 pounds, and finding her resolve weakening, she contacted several overweight friends and founded a support group which developed into weekly classes, and incorporated on May 15, 1963, into the Weight Watchers organization. In 1978, Weight Watchers was sold to the H. J. Heinz Company. Nidetch, who remains a consultant to the organization, has established scholarship programs at the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Within two months of starting her support group, 40 women were meeting to talk about their progress and keep each other accountable for what they ate. Nidetch stayed on her program, lost 72 pounds by October 1962, and attracted, by word-of-mouth, hundreds of people who wanted to join the group. The first Weight Watchers meetings were held over a pizza shop. The owner couldn't figure out why the hundreds of people lining up outside never bought anything. Nidetch worked with him to create a Weight Watchers milkshake that became a bestseller - and the rest, as they say, is history. This is the first cookbook she wrote in 1966. She gives full details of the Weight Watchers' Program as it existed then. There are more than 550 recipes for fish, veal, poultry, beef, cheese and other permitted foods.
