DIETING TO REDUCE.
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE,
Copyright. 1881

| There is no safe short cut to weight
reduction. But there is one simple
| means open to virtually all men and
women who are overweight This
| means. is combination of dieting and
exercise.
| The dieting should include, not mere
f; ~ the avoidance of fat-forming foods,
but a general cutting down of the
amount OF food eaten daily. 1t often
| is most beneficial to eat two meals
| only. instead of the customary three.
/ Which meal should be skinned is a
matter of Indifference. 1t depends en-
| tirely on the preference or whim of
the individual who has to do the Diet
ing.
! OF this I was amusingly reminded by
recent experience.
| l met one morning in New York an
| acquaintance who, when / had last
seen him. was markedly overweight.
| Now he looked In excellent condition.
Congratuiating him, / inquired how he
had effected the change.
BY gymnastics and by eating moth
| ing whatever at night. It's the food a
| man sleeps on that makes him fat. l
haven't eaten dinner for three
months. and l never expect to again,
feel 100 per cent better than l used
| to-"
+ Later in the day I repeated this mans
statements to mutual friend. Said the
latter:
That's queer. 1t would give me a
headache to go without dinner I
know. because / have tried it.
But ] can and do get along spIen-
didly without any lunch. / have eaten
only an occasional luncheon for sew
eral years. ! began to cut out lunch
means of reducing weight, and l
found it so helpful that l have kent up
the habit ever since"
And still a third man confded:
THE best way know to take
/ weight off and keep it off is to do
without breakfast. l seldom eat any
thing before noon. and you can see
that ] am in good shape"
Clearly. it does not much matter
which meal is skipped, But, for weight
/ reduction, one meal may well he
skipped. Experiment alone can de-
termine which meal this should be in
! any given case.
As to the foods to be avoided. Fisher
and Fisk give the following list:
Sugar. fats. milk as beverage.
salmon, lobster, crabs. sardines, her
ring. mackerel, pork and goose fat
! meats. nuts, butter, cream, olive oil.
pastry and sweets, water at meals"
They also note that potatoes.
cereals. bread and all starchy yere-
tables are fattening," and therefore
| should be eaten with great modera ton
| when it is question of reducips.
4 weight.
| This assuredly calls for heroic alb
stention on the part of the obese. But
| IL the obese really want to get hack
to normal weight they must be NE
pared TO put strong curo On ape
| lite.
| And they must be prepared to over
come the physical inertia common to
| obesity. ., so
Good authorities. indeed, hold that
undereXercising rather than overea.-
ing is usually the primary cause Of
/ excessive weight. In any event, exer-
| else as we'll as diet must form part of
| the lightweight Campaign
But the exercise to be taken needs
| to be graded according to the in
l diYiduaIs age and general physical
condition. On this point the advice Of
the family Doctor sshorlA - aoag4st,
