yolks-do not store fat
In the same manner or to the same
extent as starch foods, nevertheless
they do help to store fat, and prevent
the tissues OF the body from being
worn or used as rapidly as they other
wise would be. This, as you can see,
thus maintains and actually increases
the amount of fat on the body.
But one of the big points over
weights have not fully realized Is that
Ii they cut down on the fat foods by
rs much as 80 per cent, just eating
little butter or cheese or drinking
little milk. the body will use for It's
needs the fat they have stored In the
body, thus decreasing gradually their
store of fat and SO their weight.
How Nature Uses II. +
Striking examples OF how nature
uses stored fat can be seen In animals
such as the bear whose body Is COW
cred with fat In the autumn and while
| 1t sleeps during the winter this stored
fat supplies the body with nourish-
ment. By spring the bear Is quite lean
again. Another example Is where very
fat fish, during certain periods OF Its
yearly life, eats nothing whatever, yet
is kept alive during these periods be-
cause It's body uses up this deposit
OF fat which 1t had accumulated.
1t is agreed by nutrition experts that
the average individual who does not
do hard physical work should eat
about one part proteids-meat, eggs.
fsh--to two parts fats-butter, cream.
fat meats. egg yolks-to four parts
starchy foods vegetables and fruits.
When real hard outdoor work Is be-
ing done the amount OF meat, eggs and
fish should be Increased.
What about the overweight indlvif-
ual who, OF course. does little or no
work OF any kind7 Instead OF eating
two parts OF fat foods to one part OF
proteids he or she should cut down
the fat foods by half and also cut down
the starch foods by half.
Cutting Down Fat Foods.
This cutting down by one-half on fat
foods can be done safely by over
weights for the same reason that an
imals can do without any food at GER
tain times that Is because the body
processes can make use OF the stored
fat for their various needs.
The point then Is that with the
knowledge now In possession OF over.
weights there Is no reason why every
one OF them Except the to s per cent
whose overweight Is due to a gland
Disturbance should not get down to
normal weight In from three to twelve
months. | have seen girl weighing
1870 pounds get her weight down tc
$50 pounds In three months by cutting
down her liquids by one-half. her fats
by one half, and her starches by one
quarter, keeping up, however. her full
amount OF meat, eggs, and fish, She
felt stronger, more active, more In
clned to take exercise, and more keer
about her work.
Foods That Disagree
Now that 1t Is generally known tha
certain foods cause skin irritation
others pain In the abdomen, Others
hay fever, asthma and eczema. a new
word--alergy- come into use. AL
leroy means being sensitive to certain
foods, Patients often, however avolt
foods because they disagree will
them when 1t may be other foods Of
circumstances that cause distress.
Drs. Walter c. Alvarez and H. Cor
win Hinshaw, Mayo foundation, sRoch
ester, Mimi, point out that the patien
! may we'll be mistaken when he state
that he cannot eat some particula
food. Perhaps the fish was blamet
when really the culprit was the tarta
sauce, the cottonseed oil In which tn
I fish was fried, or the pie that was eat
> en- for dessert Or the food eaten a
/ dinner was blamed Nhen really TIL
+ offending substance was taken into tn
/, body with luncheon or breakfast. O
the upset was due to overeatlng 0
to back pressure from an overloade
large intestine (constipatlon), to a
annoyance over an argument Mt tn
dinner table, to an oncomng cold, 0
even to a slight inflammation In tn
gall bladder
The point then Is that because
food has disagreed under any OF tn
above circumstances 1t should not b
condemned until 1t has been found t
disagree a number Of times Cel
tainly for those Of rs not complalnin
: OF Indigestion 1t would be only 500
sense TO eat whatever we Ike.
