XTREME changes in diet are to be
n. avoided unless under the d:rec-
tons of a competent physician.
But a moderate reducing diet in which
fats, sugars and starches are consplcu-
Gus by their absence can be the means
of taking pounds from ones weight
without i'll effects to the bodily health.
In the menus for the coming week
nearly all fattening foods have been
eliminated; the dairy products, with the
exception of eggs, have been reduced to
a minimum and fruits and green vege-
tables are literally provided. Lean
meats only are used and the less fatty
varieties Of fish, while the desserts are
of the simplest description, generally Of
a slightly acid flavor. and made without

Half lemon in three-quarters Of q
glass of cold water mot iced) before
breakfast will aid materially IN remov-
ing superf1uous fat. Sugar should be
left severely alone and used only in
small quantities when cooking.
Remember that the aim in view is to
exercise and diet in such a way that
more tissue. will be burnt up or oxidized
each day than is built up by the food
consumed; thus, if you are a very
hearty eater, lessen the quantity of food
you eat and at the same time see that
your daily menus are rightly planned
In the making of salads. oils should
not be used. and even the boiled dress
ing must be avoided. A recipe for fruit
