BEAUTY

IT IS A MISTAKE for any woman, no matter how overweight she is, to go on any starvation reducing diet without first consulting her family doctor. . He is the one best qualified to tell her whether or not she should consume less than 2300 calories per day in an effort to reduce. If your doctor agrees that it would be a fine thing for you to reduce your daily intake of calories to 12 or 14 hundred, then arm yourself with a calorie chart and resolve to eat bulky foods, low in caloric content, rather than those which are exceedingly rich in calories. Don't be misled into thinking that ALL fruits and ALL vegetables are in the low calorie class. » 5 o " u un

FOR INSTANCE, APPLES, berries, cherries, peaches, water melons and oranges are low calorie foods. But da%es, figs and stewed prunes are not. There are 100 calories in a large apple and an equal number in two stewed prunes with two teaspoonsful of juice.

Asparagus, string beans, beets, carrots, celery, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage and turnips are among the low calorie vegetables. But lentils, potatoes and peas are not There are 100 calories in 25 stalks of asparagus and an equal number in three-quarters of a cup of fresh or canned peas. If you ate 25 stalks of asparagus for lunch, the chances are that you would not be hungry by mid-afternoon. But three-quarters of a cup of peas probably wouldn't even start to appease your hunger, 5 0 en 8

By ALICIA HART

LEAN BEEF, LAMB, chicken and crab meat are low calorie

foods. Pork, sauage and other fat meats are not. There are only 100 calories in one medium-sized lamb chop, but there are 100 in half of an average-sized pork chop. If you like salads, green vegetables and lean meats, you ought to be able to figure out a diet on which you certainly will lose weight yet not be hungry between meals. And by all means reinembelghat it is only sensible to eajijow calorie meals three times a day, ¥ 2
