About The Ration Book Diaries
About Me
Welcome to The Ration Book Diaries! I’m KD, a WW2 UK Home Front enthusiast who is on a mission to lose weight the wartime way—by following an authentic WW2 rationing diet.
During the Second World War in the UK, food shortages and government-imposed rationing forced people to eat simple, nutritious, and no-waste meals.
Despite limited ingredients, they managed to stay healthy, resourceful, and inventive in the kitchen. Inspired by their resilience, I’m setting out to experience rationing first hand—to see if it can help me shed pounds while connecting with the past.
