Spring Fashion Forecast PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, APRIL It. 1001 By now, the racks of most fashion stores and boutiques are billowing with a colorful array of enough Spring and Summer clothing to tempt even the most reluctant wardrobe updater. "And this year, almost everyone can find something they like and that will look good on them, regardless of figure type and coloring," says Kathi Heberer, McHenry County Extension adviser. This Spring's collections range from ethnic styles emphasizing full, flounced skirts trimmed in rickrack to nautical 16oks featuring "Popeye" pants with slightly belled, full legs to be paired with blouses and jackets featuring middy collars and ties. "As far as pants go, every length abounds in cottons, linens and silks," Ms. Heberer says "Knee-length knickers, bloomers, harem pants and culottes are the most popular -but the careful shopper can find more traditional, full-length pants," she adds jokingly Likewise, skirt designers haven't made any definite dictates this Spring. Lengths vary from the one- to-two-inches-below-the- Avoid Easy Lose 14 pounds in seven days! New Miracle Diet lets you shed pounds as you sleep! No Need to exercise to lose weight fast on Dr. Quack's Quick Diet! Have you ever tried to count how many different easy diets, schemes and gimmicks that make promises similar to those listed above are now being advertised in newspapers and magazines and passed on from person to person? The list is almost endless. "The national fat phobia has turned dieting into big business in the United States," noted Kathi Heberer, McHenry County Extension adviser. She says that almost every overweight person in the country probably has fallen victim to some diet scheme at one time or another. The trouble with such diets, however, is that you are unlikely to achieve any permanent weight loss, but your body can undergo unneeded stress as a result of them, according to Robert Reber, University of Illinois nutrition specialist. Reber says fad diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies and can stress the body as well as impair organ function. Fad diets also can aggravate existing disease. "Besides all that~as if that w e r e n ' t e n o u g h - questionable diets can be very costly, and so harm hot only you but your pocketbook," he says. "And going on a fad diet often raises the dieter's hopes and then dims them when results faU far short of expectations. The once-enthusiastic dieter then becomes discouraged and may even give up," he says. "In effect, the fad diet delays or even prevents sensible dieting and the development of sound eating habits Luckily, it's r.ot too difficult to spot questionable weight loss programs, Reber says. Usually fad diets can be recognized by the promises made by their promoters. He advises would-be dieters to be very suspicious of diets for which knee length preferred by such Capitol Hill trend­ setters as Nancy Reagan to mini and midi extremes. I^ean, blousy tunics worn over short, straight skirts and, again. T-shirts are big news in tops. Summer suits include ensembles that emphasize shell jackets with push-up sleeves and ban- deaus with matching car­ digans worn with brief shorts and flippy skirts. This year's fashion palette ranges from a group of colors some call "Desert song" that includes white, black, bamboo, Sahara, gravel, coconut, stone blue, sand, khaki, cactus and tobacco to clean, pastel colors such as shell pink, ice blue, cameo peach, sea green, lilac and canary. "That's not to say there aren't plenty of snappy oranges, limes, electric blues, jazzy greens, reds and yellow around or that earth colors aen't as big as ever." Ms. Heberer says. "Those trying to buy a single 'in' color will probably have difficulty determining exactly what that is because of the great variety this year " She says linen and linen- type fabrics are back again in classic designs, but cotton knits are the hit of the season, especially baby knits in pinks, blues and yellows. Stripes of all kinds also are popular, as is denim in fashion colors, cotton gauze and sheers of all types. 'Belts are probably the most important accessory of the season - especially when they're big and bold and worn low on the waist. Most popular materials this Spring are jute, cording, cork, glass beads, leather and shells," Ms. Heberer says When selecting costume jewelry, she recommends keying necklaces and bracelets to the same materials as the belts they'll be worn with or selecting those in ivory and gold She advises selecting colored jewelry over the thin gold chain now waning in popularity. Shoulder strap and pouch handbags are back again this Spring, joined by the clutch, but the average leather handbag is smaller and has less detail and hardware "This is one Spring you really haved a choice." Ms. Heberer says, "in everything from style to fabric to color to ac­ cessories " Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aide 344-1984 Remembering When...

McHenry and Mr and Mrs Fred Hessert. 256 Lip- pencott. Fox Lake. Ill Among recent births recorded at Memorial hospital for McHenry county. Woodstock, was the April 7 birth of a girl to Mr and Mrs David Stecki of McHenry any of the following claims are made: -You can take off a lot of weight during the first week. -You can eat all you want and still lose weight. -No time or effort is required to become thinner. -You can trick your body's metabolism into losing weight by using some miraculous new discovery. -You don't have to increase your physical activity to lose weight. -By eating certain foods with special reducing powers, you can shea pounds. If a diet you're considering makes any of the claims listed above, Reber recommends you stay away from it. Instead, look for a sensible diet plan that does not make exaggerated claims or promises. As you evaluate reducing diets, Reber recommends you select one that: -Aims for a one-to-two- pound weight loss per week. -Calls for you to eat a wide variety of low-calorie, nutritious food. -Requires time and effort on your part. -Will not alter your diet so it is low in cabonydrates or high in protein but, rather, achieves a balance of all nutrients. -Stresses increased physical activity to burn up more calories than you can take in. Reber says that the last criterion is extremely important, but is one that many dieters overlook. He notes that most recent surveys show Americans on the whole are eating less food but are not losing weight. "It's obvious that people are eating less and less to compensate for less and less activity," Reber explains. "We are less active than ever before." "If we want good health and proper weight, we must increase our physical activity ot burn up more calories and improve our physical condition," he says. "Any sensible weight control plan stresses both increased physical activity and controlled calorie intake. Moderate exercise- even walking-is a must for both health and sustained weight control." Reber notes that by scrutinizing a diet before you start it, you can make an informal decision and avoid investing weeks-as well as money in some cases-in a fad that most probably will not help you lose the weight you want to be rid of permanently. Instead you can start on a sensible eating plan that may not offer any overnight miracles but that can, in the long run, help you achieve the weight loss you seek. "Instead of being discouraged by every fad diet that comes along, you can learn a better way of eating while you lose those extra pounds so your benefits are doubled," Reber says. "You're not only thinner and more healthy when you're finished, but you're less likely to gain that extra weight back again. HOSPITAL NOTES MCHENRY Admissions: May E Beckel, Rae Wayphunas. Penny L.

This registration applies to all pre-school children ages 3 through 5, even if the child has been registered in previous years. School officials are hopeful that all parents of children 3, 4 and 5 years of age will register on these two days. A 100 percent registration is the goal set in order to facilitate the coordination of kindergarten placement for next September. Equally important is the necessity to arrange for a hearing and vision appointment (to be held in May for all pre­ schoolers) and to provide information for the pre­ school diagnostic screening (to be held during the summer).
