DIETING TO REDUCE.

Diet is of foremost Importance In
flesh reduction. The question Of diet
Is a very large subject, and can only
| be lightly touched upon in an article
of this length, but one fact has now
become firmly established. and that is
that We all eat far too much for the
| needs of the body. IL we ate not in
| accordance with acquired and artificial
tastes. but only In response to the
craving of the system for nourishment.
we would never overfeed and never
be forced to go on a diet for any pur
pose whatever.
Certain rules must be rigfdly en-
forced in a flesh cure; never to eat be-
tween meals and never to drink while
eating. Opinions differ as to the
number of meals to be taken daily
Some authorities advise eating to get
thin-that is. six light meals of select
ed foods in place Of the usual three.
Others advise cutting out one of the
three meals. either breakfast or lun-
cheon. and confining oneself to two
fairly hearty meals daily. Then there
are the followers of Fletcher. who eat
only when they are actually hungering
for food. and then eat anything their
taste Graves. only masticating IL SO
thoroughly that the appetite Is salts
fed with comparatively little food.
There are certain articles of diet
that make fat. and they are not alb
solutely essential to bodily needs.
These can be cut out with safety. The
taste that runs to such foods. and
sniffs at plain. wholesome fare is
perverted taste, and must be re-edu-
Gated. The diet list for a reduction
cure can be sufficiently varied to
tempt any normal appetite Those who
have had the greatest amount OF ex-
perience upon this matter commend
