SAFE AND SOUND REDUCING
Gut the Angel FOSd


 Cut the Angel Food
 Hypopituitarians, mostly women in their thirties who have developed a girdle of fat, large hip measure, piano legs, fat thighs, but little fat in the upper half of body except fat pads on the upper arms, per- haps appearing even gaunt or scrawny in the face, neck and throat, are not so strong as nor- mal women, usually are excessively fond of carbohydrates (Starchy foods, sweets), sometimes potatoes, sometimes bonbons, sometimes just fudge or ice cream. Their fondness for starch or sugar isl probably due to the fact that such food is quickly absorbed and quickly available to supply energy. It magically dispels the panicky feeling or anxiety that any one may feel when his or her blood sugar level becomes too low.
 Because of their tendency to run out of sugar (the physiological fuel constantly used to supply energy for use by the heart and other vital organs in their functions) hypopi- tparians are more likely to suffer distress on restricted diet or when they fast than are ordinary over- weight individuals. Yet a diet in- cluding meat, fish, fowl, egg, butter milk or skim milk, 5% vegetables, tea or coffee, cheese, fruit, lettuce, bread substitute, lettuce with spec ial salad dressing, four meals day plus a bedtime snack of orange juice, if faithfully followed, along with a moderate daily schedule of calisthenic exercises Cor daily active playing in some game), will bring about reduction and redistribution of the fat as well as does a course | of pituitary extract injections ad- ministered by the physician.
 If at first blush such diet as that indicated seems 8 lot of sub- stantial food for one to consume when reducing, have another look and notice that 1t includes no bread, cake, sugar or other pure carbohy- drate (starch or sugar) except the small amounts present in milk, vege- tables, fruit. For that matter even cheese contains some carbohy Clactose, milk sugar., that is, real cheese, natural cheese such as cot tage cheese, Cheddar cheese. When- ever I say cheese I mean genuine cheese, not the sissy "processed" connections that so often pass as cheese.
 Come to that, in almost any case of overweight if the individual can be firmly but gently deprived of his or her refined carbohydrates (cornstarch, refined sugar, syrups, refined cereal, refined white fiour) and persuaded to subsist entirely upon the proportion of carbohy- drate naturally present in vegeta- bles, fruit, milk, plain wheat, and other undenaturized cereals from which nothing has been removed), 1t will matter little just what diet he or she follows, for gradual re- duction of weight and improvement of health and vitality will inevitab- ly occur regardless.
 In fact, girls, and unless you stand by me I'm not going to make any friends saying this, the secret of successful reduction regimen is that it covers these three essen- tials:
 1. Cut the angel food.
 2. Boop the vitamin intake.
 3. A reasonable amount of daily exercise.
