And while 1t Is true extreme
dieting is dangerous, yet a well.
balanced, nourishing, slightly
slenderizing diet brings sure re-
suits If persisted in month in
and month out. This careful,
wholesome method of gradual re-
ducing eliminates starvation and
leads to feeling Of improved
health and greater youthfulness.
Some women, however. prefer
q regime which calls for actual
self-denial in the matter of diet.
They feel they are definitely re-
ducing when they put themselves
on such a diet.
For the woman who feels that
4 semi fast will hasten the re-
ducing process, permit me to
suggest the following schedule,
which is effectual when per.
sisted in, and has the indorse.
ment of at least one well-known
physician. If on fair trial 1t
does not agree with you, discon-
tinue it and either consult your
physician as to diet or else con-
tent yourself with a little less
of fattening food at each meal.
The regime to which I refer IL as
follows: One day every week,
limit your diet to glass of
milk and one baked potato at
each of your three meals. If you
wish, substitute boiled potato
or mashed potatoes without but
ter. Other days, eat what you
like within reason.
This is a wholesome diet for
the average person and it Is
sienderizing because of its low
caloric content.
OF course, in addition, you will
have to eliminate candy, rich sun
Gaes, ETC., while you are getting
thin. II. however. in moment
of weakness you indulge in
half pound of candy, try to offset
this catastrophe by dining on a
bowl of clear soup and cracker
nothing more-that day.
You may now and then have
fall from grace and eat far more
than you should of rich, fattening
Z food. But do not give up. Take
up your diet again with renewed
courage. In time you will be &C.
customed to food which, while
nourishing, is less fattening than
what you were formerly accus-
toned to. Then you will not miss
heavy desserts twice daily, creamy
mayonnaise, heavy. fried, greasy
food. although at one time they
may have seemed tempting.
1t is we'll to remember that a
certain amount of exercise is es-
sential with every diet, for the
reason that all-around exercise is
natural to a normal, active wo-
man, and will keep you feeling
your best while you diet and
grow thin and beautiful.
