If the patient is doing manual labor
the proteid fools such as milk, nuts.
fish and eggs should be Increased ac-
cording to the work. Ii, however, the
labor is sedative. such as followed by
the average business man. the quanti-
ties herein prescribed are sufficient.
The breakfast should be taken an
hour after arising and the luncheon
not later than IL noon and the dinner
not later than p. m. :
The symptom during the frst two
or three days may be that Of weakness
of perhaps acute hunger, leaving the
| impression Of under nourishment. This
will disappear after the third or fourth
day, and the strength will not only re-
turn to normal. but the body will feel
much more energetic than before, and
| there will be marked increase in the
powers of endurance. II II person will
flight it OUT for week along these
lines favorable symptoms will develop.
and he will be aided by the mental
| conviction that he Is on the road to
! success.
In many cases the cause of over
weight is too much meat and too much
| starchy food. which is nearly always
| followed by copiOus water drinking
with meals. Meat alone will not pro-
duce surplus fat. Meat being a nitrog-
enous compound. 1t Is used by the
body for building up the tissue and
cells. while the starches and sugars are
used to fill these cells. Thus meat pro-
| duces an Overgrowth Of cell structure.
and nature appropriates everything pos
sible with which to al! these. Meat or
all flesl, food may in this way augment
obese tendencies.
| II the menus herein prescribed
should entail too much deprivation or
craving for food. then the quantity
should be slightly increased until nor
NAL hunger is satisfied. provided enough
exercise Or manual labor be performed
to consume the surplus.
Nature is perfect economist. She
draws trial balance every day will,
| the fuel one puts into the furnace and
the amount Of work the human mech
anism performs.
The true science OF human nutrition
is the ability to feed the body. both In
quantity and selections, upon the
things which II needs for the work II
does
Persons following sedentary oc-
4 cupation should not eat such foods ar
require hard manual labor to metabo
lie. II they do they are punished fol
this error by being forced to carry
around lot. Of dead weight. which
they do not need. or by autointnxica
ton tself poisoning,. which expresses
itself In over twenty known ailments
to which medical men have given
separate names and for which they
prescribe separate remedies.
Health heing mans natural state
overweight. sickness or any abnormal
condition meets with great resistance
In other words, It y difficult to gel
sick. Nature win tolerate the moderate
violation Of her laws for years nncom
plainingIy. but a day Of settlement
must come sooner or later.
