this weight loss and regained her
energy. This may require six
months or longer.
Such a rapid weight loss has
been accomplished before. A ma
tionally known orchestra leader
reduced 100 pounds in one year,
apparently with no harmful ef-
fects-certainly not to his music.
However, your vitality might not
be equal to such a program, and
it is never wise to take chances
with your health.
If you will consult your doctor
at intervals he can help you to
regulate your weight loss so as to
protect your vitality.
Another argument in favor OF
moderate reducing is that you can
more easily keep your weight at
normal by extending your reducing

To keep your health as you i'm.

ducing speed laws:
For the first three or four
months you may safely lose two
pounds per week. Even during the
first month, when weight loss is
comparatively easy, no reducer
should ever lose more than ten
pounds. Keep your total loss for
the first four months within 80
pounds. During the next four
months, while moving the more
solid fat the loss should not exceed

rate of one pound per week.
