If you really want to reduce, the best diet is one that is adequate in all respects, except that it is low in energy value. On such a diet excess fat will be used to supply your energy requirements for work and play.

This diet is based on the results of a study conducted at Rush Medical College, Chicago. On such a diet a large number of patients lost weight consistently while continuing their normal activities. They reported no discomfort from hunger. Many careful tests proved that no harmful effects resulted from staying on this type of diet for a long time.

The diets here outlined are low in calories (the heat units used in measuring energy value of foods) and high in protein (the material which will protect your body while you are taking off weight).

s these are adequate diets, they will provide you with all of the necessary mineral elements and vitamins for the regulation of your body and for the protection of your health.

Just a word of caution! Before going on a diet - CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
