1t has been seriously asserted BY
many people that We are naturally
lighter after a meal and they have
even gone the length Of explaining
this by the amount Of gas that il
developed from the food. Average
observations, however show that wc
lose three pounds six ounces between
night and morning; that We gain one
pound twelve ounces by breakfast.
that we again lose about fourteen
ounces before lunch; that lunch puts
on an average Of about one pound;
that We again lose during the after.
noon an average of ten ounces. bnt
that an ordinary dinner to healthy
persons adds two pounds two oupces
