Stanley Weightman had been too fat for a whole lifetime. He was very tired of it. Soon, his doctor told him, he would besick and tired. | So you can understand why ; Stanley was delighted when he | read an ad about a new 900-calorie ! formula diet A painless, permanent, perfectly safe way to lose weight. Many formerly fat people said they had lost more pounds on the new liquid food than ever before in their lives.
Stanley decided this was for him.
At first, he was very good. He ate nothing but the liquid. The first week he lost three pounds. The second week, he lost five. By the middle of the third week, he was feeling positively slender.
He saw no reason why he shouldn’t eat a little solid food now and then. And that was the beginning of the end. Now Stanley’s back on his regular habits. Now he weighs more than ever before.
But it may be just as well he’s off the liquid food. Because the! new reducing formulas may not be quite what they’re cracked up to be. The Council on Food and Nutrition of the American Medical Association feels that the labels on all these new products should warn people to be sure to drink a normal amount of water. The Council also says many people shouldn’t try any kind of reducing without a doctor's supervision. Especially people with heart trouble, kidney trouble, and diabetes.
All dieting should be carried out under a physician’s guidance. And losing weight should be looked up-! on as a long-term process. The only satisfactory diet is the diet that results in weight that stays off. See your doctor for a diet tailor-made for you.
