Non-Fattening Foods.

Many foods which are nourishing do not produce fat. The two kinds which create fatty tissues are fats of all kinds, like butter, lard, drippings (food cooked in them), and the large group of foods classed as starches. If eaten in excess starch will be laid up in the body as superfluous or stored fat. Following is a list of nourishing foods which will not produce excess fat: Light meats, like chicken, white fish, lean beef; all vegetables except potatoes, parsnips and other starchy kinds; fruit of all kind except bananas, grain or cereals, except oatmeal and rice; beans and cheese; milk, in small quantity, eggs. , Milk and eggs will fatten unless exercise is taken or the body is in a very run-down condition. Cocoa is a fattening drink also.
