The rate Of speed at which the
skin contracts is conditioned by
weight and age as well as skin
tonicity.
You realize, of course, that the
greater the amount Of overweight
the longer the time required to
lose it. But what you may not ap-
preciate is that with increased
weight there is corresponding de-
crease in the skins elasticity. The
greater the amount Of overweight,
the more slowly the fat must be
removed.
For example, with so pounds Of
overweight, the skin has been ex-
ceSSively stretched. You should
extend your reducing program
over a year, and the results will
be more pleasing and more likely
to be permanent If you take Is
months.
You cannot keep young without
exercise. You can keep your
weight down by cutting calorieS to
the medium, but face and throat
will be haggard. You will look I'M
happy. Steal a glance at the wom-
en- who use this method Of keeping
slim and see If this is not true!
Planned exercise will keep your
figure and your vitality at their
best. You know from your own
experience that the figure-con-
trolling muscles are those of the
hip, thigh and buttocks. With
sodentary living, in order to keep
slim at these points without ex-
ercise you must cut your Galleries
so dangerously low that you draw
on the stored calorieS elsewhere. e.
obviously from the face and
throat.
Keep fit and young through ex-
ercise. A daily walk and IS min
uteS of planned daily exercise will
safeguard your face and your fig
ure.
Now about how far to reduce:

overweight should consult your
doctor as to the amount to lose.
When your weight has been con-
Siderably above normal for years,
it is sometimes unwise to attempt
a return to normal. It is possible
that you should lose only q per
centage Of your overweight. Your
physical condition sets the limit
on reducing. Keep in mind that
you are after health and a good
figure, not just slimneSS.
There is still another drawback
to too rapid reducing, in that the
faster you lose the faster you win
gain it all back. With a gradual
loss, your weight is stabilized.
Plan your figure program wisely
and don't Squander your good
looks in reckless reducing.

To slim down gracefully, follow
the reducer's golden rules: Reduce
gradually, exercise consistently,
and do not attempt to reduce too
far.
Weight must be removed slowly
to protect your skin as well as
your health, for weight loss must
keep pace with skin contraction.
