I suit? 3“: Mr' T b, ( y qroa . bem I vou r _ 111) . Olin Aldon; tamtt a g? t I know, I know . . . I can hear you IiiriT,, groaning all the way from here, and 'eh8 bemoaninq the fact that everywhere , you go these days the word "diet" pops no . . . and it makes you so mad you are going to wrap the garbage in my column this week instead of‘readinq it! Before you do, let me tell you all this "diet talk" gets me down too., If only the Powers-That-Be would get to- gether on the thing! We've had liquid diets, milk diets. no tat diets, no FAD diets, banana diets . . . and will you ever forget the Blackstrar:rMollrzsesrYoourlidor Vine gar diet oi a few years ago? It was very popular tor some strange reason. Perhaps the name helped. It has such a robust healthy ring to it. Blackstrap. Makes me think, somehow, of mountain climbers. Seems to me you took a tablespoon of Blackstrap first thing in the morning and washed it down with half a glass of cider vingear. (It was the shudders that followed that did the trick - they shook off the pounds!) SIX EGGS A DAY The egg diet seems popular too. I fell for that one once. it's a two-week course and you consume six eggs the very first day. As a cure for obesity the results were as expected but the repercussions were not to be taken lightly. No one should feel as I do about eggs and chickens, after consuming so many . . . I still can't look a chicken in the eye without blushing: Most of my clippings and booklets on the subject of diets urge a three-week or four-week plan of attack. To my mind a day-to-day thing would be more insrfrr- ing. However, we get the menus all spelled out for us, and full of enthusiasm, we decide to start "tomorrow". One of my brochures has no breakfasts listed. I would take from that that one could sleep until noon while the diet is on. It mentions what a "sane, sensible and simple plan" it is, and I can see what they mean. To spend several hours a day in a state of unconscious- ness would help trcymendously. The thought of sleeping until noon for 21 days straight is pure bliss! Oh, oh ' ' . wait a minute. Here's something one must do at 10 am. every morning. (There goes my sleep!) Take one tablespoon of olive oil (only 110 calories) around 10 am” especially if you are over 30 . . . Alter 30 the joints have a tendency to creak and rattle ominously in a most embarrassing fashion when one rises alter a prolonged session of sitting in one place. "Don't be embarrassed by creaking joints" it says. (I haven't heard mine creok in a long tirne-the commercials are too loud!) FILET OF FLOUNDER One would never get started tomorrow in this por- ticular diet. By the time you are measured, charted. graph made, shopping done (tor such rare items as carrot juice, pickled beets, canned apricots, lobster, melon wedges and filet of flounder) one or two days has slipped into the Never-Never-Land. The. thing that always "bugs" me is how one de- cides on a frame. One's own frame, I medh. The ideal weight charts designate small, medium and large frames. Since a S8" gays ideal weight on the charts runs aths waydro Math),'),' pounds (depending on said frame structurelflt Ire ls a problem. The only way out would be to put all the numbers in CI hat, shake 'em up, and pick one out. That way one couldn't Chedt. Now, to-determine our daily caloric requirements there is a table on page 59 which shows how many our body needs, to function at top efficiency. Our 129~158 pounder is once more laced with another riddle in mathematics. She has to decide whether she is the nervous type (adding 12%); slow-moving inactive type (decreasing 7%); or the kind of gal who does heavy phy- sical labor (this type increases by 16%%). After she has worn her pencil to a stub figuring percentages up or down on the reducing calories in the chart for her particular frame and weight, (are you still there?), she is instructed to make a graph for the weeks ahead, with simplified chart attached, so that she can keep track of her progress. CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUT AND COFFEE By this time she is hungry and, while munching on a chocolate doughnut and coffee may come to the bit where is says, "The enthusiastic dieter will want to make a note of items from the list herein that are less than 35 calories. This, it is pointed out, makes the counting of your calories much simpler. lust off hand I would say that the listing of the "treats" coming under the 35 calorie count would frighten off the fointheartod immediately . . . l medium fresh lemon, n cup wild rice shoots, l oz. canned infant liver, l oz._instant canned strained custard (never) heard of it), 1 tablespoon pure starch (a cheap way to get stiff), 1 tablespoon gelatin dessert power, 1 stick chewing gum, l medium sizes crab apples, (more shudders), oh yes, and 4 lettuce leaves, These are picked at random from a most comprehensive list of "goodies". Perhaps the author is a psychologist after all. It might just be a test of courage! Those with fortitude enough to get along as far as the 100 calorie list would be "over the hump" and well on the way to a successful try at this particular diet. PECAN NUTS BIN‘GE The man who introduced us to this ”high-mathema- iics" diet carried the booklet around in his hip pocket and followed it to the letter. Not much change seemed to take place in his physique as far as we could see, but he assured us that it was a "long term plan" he was on. Another interesting bit of logic (?) he come up with regarding diets was the fact that, since our bodies can only absorb so much of any one item we may de- cide to eat; we can safely go "on a binge" of, soy pecan nuts or chocolates and not have to pay up in pounds gained. He had figured that out himself, and often went on a binge of some sort, without gaining or losing a pound. (He saidl). _ . _ -- -- u - Well, to continue . . . Introduction il, Pogo 46, Sec- tion I finds us (at the end of the first week) still chewing the ends of our pencils, and frrmiicolly iottlnq down daily caloric intakes, theoretical weight changes, sus- taining calories needed, percentage of reductnq or gain- ing . . . with the only clear and, simple statement in the whole mess the part where you add up total caloric intake for seven days and divide by seven to get your daily average! _ . . . Dieting By Numbers Once again I must admit that there seems to be more to this book than meets the eye. All that pencil workl With a pencil in your hand all the time one would be less inclined to pick up an eating utensill Could be a clever ruse - you never can tell. It would be easy to sweat off a few pounds doing the mathema- tical qyraiions necessary to compute percentaqen of calbric intakes, daily averages. and all the rest of our "thh Mathematics" diet. _ . . . -... .
