the caloric value of the food is
low. Water also forms an i'm
portant part Of the diet. This
helps to appease hunger.
ROsenfeld'S Diet
BREAKFAST-Tea with sac

perhaps a little marmalade.
8 A. M. Ten GINS. cheese
water. 10 a. m, 10 GINS. apple;

P. M.-Tea with Saccharin;

1t should never be forgotten,
however, that all reduction
diets-and there are many-de-
pend upon one factor. That is,
the fact that the individual
takes in too few calories than
the body requires for it's daily
energy needs.
The result, Of course, is that
the body is forced to burn up
its own tiSSueS-that is, fat tiS-
Sue-for energy purposes.
Therefore the body grows
less. Hence the loss of weight.
This also means a possible
source of danger.
Never, therefore, should re-
duction be attempted before
talking it over with the family
physician.
Although an occasional day
or two on reducing diet is
probably beneficial to most of
us, 1t is better not to take any
risks.
