A NEW WAY TO DIET
Continued from page thirty
every day and not lose or gain
weight. Thus, if your ideal weight
is 170 pounds, you can consume
2,550 calories a day and still retain
your present weight.
To lose five pounds a month you
merely subtract 550 calories a day
from the original 2,550. This en
ables you to eat three meals a day
totaling 2,ooocalories which can
hardly be considered a starvation
diet. (Dr. Frederick J. Stare, who
is head of the Department of
Nutrition at»the Harvard School
of Public Health, considers an
1,800-cak>rie-a-day diet not unduly
severe.)
Mr. Kg's Mistake
In the light of this nutritional
number magic, let’s return for an
other quick post-mortem on Mr.
Big’s ill-fated reducing stint. The
Hollywood diet which worked
wonders for Marvin Glamour boy
permitted him only 1,715 calories
a day—a snap for the actor, whose
ideal weight, remember, was a
mere 151. But it was torture for
Mr. Big. Actually, he could have
upped his calorie quota to 2,225 a
day and still lost five pounds a
month in the process!
Mr. Big was swindling his stom
ach out of 510 calories every 24
hours and that represents a lot of
food, particularly to a man with
hunger pangs. Breaking it down,
Mr. Big could have splurged while
he was dieting with the following
extra meal every day and still
have reduced:
M cup orange juice— 54 calories
2 eggs —154 ”
2 slices bacon 9B ”
2 slices white toast —126 ”
coffee and cream 2B ”
1 pat butter 5O ”
Total 5lO calories
In the light of this new approach
to dieting, it should be obvious
why whittling away extra flesh
need not be a grim ordeal involv
ing self-denial.
Once you have calculated the
amount of calories you can eat,
based on your ideal weight, you
merely undercut by 550 —and,
presto! five pounds will vanish
every month. •
Another important advantage
of this plan is that under it you
can eat any foods you desire
sweets, starches, fats and proteins
—so long as the total calorie
count every day does not exceed
the quota you have set for your
self.
Medical authorities favor this
method in preference to freak diets
because it allows the dieter to eat
well-balanced meals and does not
rob him of vital protective vita
mins and minerals.
Strategy No. 3 in your quest for
girth control is exercise the ex
ercising of patience. Many “chronic
dieters” end up behind the nutri
tional eight ball because they are
always choosing a strenuous,
hurry-up diet in preference to a
slow, sensible one.
If you are overweight, remember
that your condition is the result of
years of overeating. Each pound of
fat on your body represents 3,500
calories deposited by wrong eating
habits. If you attempt to with
draw this surplus lard too hastily,
you may bankrupt your health.
Or, because the accelerated ritual
proves too demanding, you cease
dieting altogether.
«o Slow!
Don't be tempted to lose it quick
so that you can slip into that new
party dress or climb into last year’s
dinner jacket. Take it easy, and
remember the three rules for safe
dieting:.
1. See your doctor
S. Use the Magic Number
3. Exercise patience
Then stick to a goal of losing no
more than five pounds a month
and you will win your battle of
mind over platter. The End
