"Overweight and Underweight" by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is a guide from the 1950s that tackles the problems of being too heavy or too light to live in a healthy way. The book teaches people about what a good weight is and what can happen if someone weighs too much or too little. It's broken into two parts: one for people who weigh too much and the other for people who don't weigh enough. For those who weigh too much, it talks about how it happens, what dangers are involved (like diabetes and heart problems), and how to lose weight by watching calories, working out, and fixing bad habits. For those who are underweight, it looks at possible health problems, feelings that mess with eating, and ways to gain weight without getting unhealthy. The book gives useful tips and calorie charts so people can learn about food and eat better to get to a healthy weight.
