I followed a 1940s rationed diet for 8 days!

Today's video is a big one, where I take you through my experience of following a 1940s rationed diet for 8 entire days! Inspired by the food shortages and restrictions during WWII, I attempt to live on the same rations that people in Britain had to make do with at the time. From small portions to creative meal ideas, I’ll show you what it was like to eat on such limited ingredients and how I managed to stay full and satisfied. Did it live up to expectations, or did I end up longing for something more? And more importantly, what challenges and changes did I experience? Watch to find out!

The number of points a person received depended on the item they wanted to buy, with more expensive items requiring more points. Adults: Received 24 points every four weeks Children and vulnerable people: Received three points per week Pregnant women: Received two points per allocation Points were used to purchase rationed goods like meat, cheese, fats, tinned food, and clothing, and could be saved for other items. Points were distributed to citizens in ration books and this system helped ensure a fair share of rationed goods and encouraged people to buy cheaper cuts of meat. I did use a lot of vegetables in this experiment, tomatoes, onions, garden peas, carrots, mushrooms, and of course potatoes, but I went sparingly as, although vegetables weren't rationed during WWII, they were in short supply! ✨️ If you'd like to learn more about my new membership then you can follow this link and sign up to my mailing list and, in exchange for your email, you'll receive a copy of the first 7 days of my brand new slow living 30 challenge journal: https://www.realvintagedollshouse.com/email-waiting-list Like, subscribe, and comment your thoughts or experiences of this challenge! ================================= 🔥 Stay Connected: Subscribe for more content: https://youtube.com/@Realvintagedollshouse?si=LlJtKVAWFcvwcAmf Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/real_vintage_dollshouse/profilecard/?igsh=MWR5dGJ3M250M2drcA== Tik-Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realvintagedollshouse?_t=8rtKROSGXZY&_r=1 Pigeon Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@comeonlittlepigeon?_t=8rtKLF8AY4H&_r=1 ================================= ☎️ Contact for inquiries: [email protected] ================================= 📢 Engage With Me: Comment below with your thoughts or questions!
