Rheo Blair was the gun in that field. The famous Vince Gironda pretty much mimicked his ideas. I followed Blairs personalised eating plan to the letter from my late teens for about a dozen years, until I stopped eating eggs for moral reason. Until then I was eating around 20 to 24 eggs a day. And half a pint of cream. Tests showed super low cholesterol readings. Hilarious, I used to love getting them, and telling what I ate. It worked awesomely. I still incorporate his methods in my eating style. Unfortunately Blair was the victim of a relentless marketing campaign, and other dubious factors. He was eventually weidered out. That was pretty common back then. The same thing was launched at Arthur Jones. It would be quite amusing to dig up the old Peary Rader Iron Man mags, the 'Bible' of exercise and nutrition of the late sixties and seventies. Guys would rave about different awesome results trying the likes of Blair's and Jone's and other's interesting and innovative ideas. Mysteriously, later when they were all under contracts from Weider, many would suddenly have no recollection of ever having heard of them, or say they got no results, despite photographic evidence and signed letters and affidavits testifying to the opposite. A bit of info on the website below. Google should bring stuff up. But be prepared, it might not be what you are used to seeing. Awesome for health, vitality and weight gain though.
