Little chubbies will find sum-
mer an ideal time to shed a pound
or two. The trouble is though that
lasses who resent the fatty tag
will probably try to melt it off too
quickly.
III young moderns would keep in
mind that they can lose weight
without losing their health by cut
ting down on everything they eat,
instead of going on a starvation
diet. they'd accomplish the same
results without losing energy, good
looks and disposition.
A few pounds are easy to shoe
More than that takes a physicians
diet to maintain proper nutrition.
Let's say you are hippy and
have large thighs-a common sum-
mer complaint of young girls. May
be you are about seven pounds ov-
erweight You don't look well IN
slacks, shorts or bathing suit
What 20 do about 1T? Sit in the
corner and twiddle your thumbs all
summer? Silly.
Here's a plan that might see
you through cheerfully as you lose
weight
Walk sometime during the day
at brisk pace for az least " hour
This could be broken up into two
Is minute walks-not strolls. Set
a goal that is 15 minutes away and
walk to ii eagerly. Do some chore
that gives you bending, dipping
and lnnging motion such as gar
dening. house cleaning, clothes
washing.
II you are invited on a swim
ming or picnic party, avoid wear
ing tight trunks which will only
emphasize your hips and thighs
and make you feel self-conscious.
Instead wear a suit with a long
skirt or Bermuda length shorts
If you are short avoid slaeks.
Now wnen IL comes to eating,
probably the root of your evil
ounces, avoid banana splits, fudge
sundaes, and in-between meal
snacks. Concentrate on thirst
quenchers like lemon or lime AIDES
without sugar.. These are low
caloried and satisfying. If you are
not hungry at mealtime why sit |
down to a big fattening meal. In |
stead eat good nourishing bowl |
of soup and few crackers. Here's |
menu plan that will give you vi |
tamins, prove satisfying on the |
hottest days and still help you
shake off those ounces if you CO.
operate by moving around a bit:
Breakfast-1a grapefruit, / hard
boiled egg, l pat butter. COR sub
stitute. orange. pears or other fruit
for grapefruit.) / slice whole
wheat toast, l glass SKINNED milk
Lunch-1 cup jelled consomme
madrilene, l sliced tomato, | car
rot, stalk celery, cottage cheese
with " fresh peach or apricot on
top. Serve on several slices of let
tuce. Three salted crackers, iced |
tea. coffee or fruit ade drink is
good with it.
Dinner-Serving of meat or fish |
with green vegetables or salad and |
boiled potato teasier to eat dry |
than baked potato). Fresh fruit or
gelatin dessert.
The important thing in dieting |
is to maintain energy, otherwise /,
you won't have the stamina to |;
burn up excess calories by exer- |
else. It's going to be hard turning /
down that second hot dog at a |
beach party, but If you are still |
hungry when it is offered to you, |
why not eat it without the roll. |
1t won't be hard to do If you keep |
an image of your sylph-like-figure-
tobe before you every time you |
are tempted TO indulge in that ex-
ira snack. Once you've said no |
three times to fat-bait you are /
we'll on your way to developing the /
will power that will give you a
nice slim figure.
