have seen the results of these diets
and know they will work.
Lent Is a gooo period for reduc-
ing. 1t is about the right length
Of time 70 be able 70 show results.
Many people expect to lose on
reduction diet so much every day,
beginning the first day. But the
loss is likely to 20 in spurts, espe-
ciany al first, about every seven
days apart. In the six weeks Of
Lent several Of these losing peri
DDS should come in and encourage
the loser to continue. The cause
of the spurts is change in water
balance. When the body begins to
lose fat, 1t tends to retain water.
If the fat loss continues, the body
releases water - at about seven
day intervals. Hence on one of
these diets you may expect to lose
suddenly at the end Of the first
week.
