cent overweight you will be 10 TO
Is pounds thinner by Easter.
The diets have been very care
fully designed by an expert to con-
form 10 war time ratloning and
points. One advantage Of the
diets IS that you will save ration
stamps on them. They are ar
ranged so that leftoyers are made
UP from the principal meat or food
Of the day before. If you under
eat on this your family may over
eat. because there Will be more
fsNly ration points.
They are also arranged so that
the vItamin and mineral content
IS up TO par. The protein is ade-
quats though low The caloric
value Of days food intake in this
diet is quite low and practically
guarantees weight loss. Almost
any adult, no matter how small,
requires 1900 calorles daily: a
diet restricted to 1000 calories will
make HIM lose weight The Len
ten diets here presented contain
$50 10 500 calories daily,
Galleries Necessary
This follows the formula Of
Newburgh, Of Ann Arbor, who
finds that obese persons can sub
sist on $50 calories day and are
in nitrogen balance If the diet con-
tains 60 grams Of protein day.
II they diet and keep on working
they need more carbohydrate than
Newburgh gives his hospital pa
tients, which is 80 grams, and
am assuming my Lenten dieters
will continue activity so the car
bohydrate content of my Lenten
diets is above 50 grams. This main
tsins the acid base balance.
The cause of overweight is stlli
more or less a matter of debate.
The fatty, the grossly overweight
person, protests he does not eat
any more than his thin or normal
weighted brother. But il he is
right and there is something diff
ferent in his bodily mechanism,
the experts and researchers
haven't found it, One might think
the processes and fires Of life went
on at lower level, but the basal
netabolism, which is the index Of
these fires, is the same for the
obese person as for the normal. Or
II there is any difference the obese
person is likely to produce a little
more heat.
Eating Causes Overweight
The glands - those ductless
zlands-so often incriminated are
very seldom the cause. Losing
weight the thyroid or pituitary
way is very unsatisfactory.
There is as a background for
any case Of obesity, probably a
steady long continued slight in
crease Of food intake and a slight
decrease of activity. The stout
man may be somewhat different
from others says Alvarez, Of the
Mayo Clinic, in that when he is
tired ne wants plenty Of food the
thin type Of person when tired
often can't eat much"
Reducing is indicated for much
more than mere convenience in
getting around easier, or vanity
or having the clothes fit. The death
rate among overweights is pro-
portionately higher at different
ages almost exactly at the proper.
ton Of overweight. In other words
a, 30, people 80 percent overweight
have a 40 per cent higher death
rate: at so, those so per cent over
weight have so per cent higher
death rate, and so on.
