L a w r e n c e E . L a m b , M D , N e w s p a p e r E n t e r p r i s e A s s o c i a t i o n Muscle vs. fat: a weighty issue DEAR DR. LAMB: Recently I joined a Jazzercise class. I enjoyed the workouts so much I began attending class three days a week. Each session lasts one hour with nonstop action, which includes a warm-up and cool- down period. I realize these sessions are aimed toward cardiovascular fitness and muscle toning. I have already noticed some toning and I feel great. But will I experience any weight loss along with muscle toning? I haven't lost any weight yet. In fact, I have gained a pound. My eating habits are the same. I Just don't want toned muscles under fat and appear larger than I am. I'm 33, female, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weigh 159 pounds. DEAR READER: Muscles weigh more than fat, but a pound of muscle is no larger than a pound of fat. But there are a lot more calories in a pound of fat then in a pound of muscle. TO be specific, a pound of body fat contains about 3,500 calories while a pound of lean muscle contains only 600 calories. It follows that you can lose calories (of fat) while you actually gain weight from developing new muscles. But that is healthy. The truth is that well-developed muscles help prevent obesity. Muscles use more calories, even at rest, than fat cells do. When you are on a calorie- restricted diet you may lose muscle tissue. That makes it easier for you to gain weight after a fad diet is over. But exercise uses calories and maintains or develops muscles. That is why exer­ cise is far better for weight control over the long haul than most diets. Yes, if you exercise regularly as with your Jazzercise classes or with other exercise, Including walking, and don't increase your calorie Intake, you will gradually lose weight as you improve your health. A person your weight will lose about 60 calories an hour from walking, compared to sitting still. Just walking two miles a day will cause you to lose the calories in about one-fourth pound of body fat each week. Hiat's not bad. It is 13 pounds of fat a year, and if you want to lose faster, walk four miles a day and lose the calories in 26 pounds a year. Many of the facts about excess body fat are discussed in The Health Letter, 20-10, "Doing Something About Body Fat," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for It to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA CROSSWORD 92713. • DEAR DR. LAMB: Three years ago I had a prostate operation at age 77. It was successful, but since then my left testicle has become enlarged. Now it is about the size of a small orange. The right testicle is normal but obviously smaller. My doctor says it's water on the testicle, and drained it out once, but now it is enlarged again. What are the possibilities of cancer? I have no pain and don't want surgery unless necessary. DEAR READER: Your doctor is telling you that you have a hydrocele. The testicle is really enclosed in a sac of thin tissue that looks somewhat like plastic wrapping material. Fluid col­ lects in this sac around the testicle and the sac may enlarge to 10 indies (25 cm). This may be caused by an open com­ munication with the abdominal cavity, which normally contains fluid, in which case It disappears at night when you are lying down. In other cases there is a local reason in the testicle area for it. I'd like to assure you that there is no cancer, but in a few cases one can occur in the testicle. But when your doctor examined you after drain­ ing the fluid he could tell if there was any lump or mass present.

This deal shows why. Against four hearts, West led the diamond eight. East won the king and thought about how his side could win four tricks. Of course he didn't know that West held the club ace, but he felt that his side needed to get a club trick to set the contract. Then, too, if West had only two diamonds, perhaps a third diamond lead would enable West to ruff with a card that would force dummy to use the 10 or jack of hearts. That would build a certain trump trick for the Q-9-8 in East's hand. But if diamonds were played before the defense took its club trick, that club trick might disappear on dummy's s^ade suit. All very compli­ cated. Eventually East played the club jack at trick two. West won the club ace and switched back to the diamond two. East won the ace and continued with a third diamond. The seven of hearts forced dummy to ruff with the 10, and that was down one. How could West have known that East did not have a singleton club? If that had been the case, East would have cashed the second diamond before playing the club. Why didn't North pass three no- trump, which would have made? He made a mistake.
