BARTON Talk • About 9 Reducing Ver*u» Age A MIDDLE-AGED over weight woman, a member of a bridge club, secretly began to reduce her food intake in the worthy effort to get rid of her surplus weight and acquire once more the figure of which she formerly had been so proud. She ate n ■•little" of everything that was served at the club, avoid ing sugar. Or. Barton It was about eight weeks before any of the other members noticed that her face and body had lost some fat; that she looked unusually well also. By the end of another six weeks the change was so great that other fat members asked her secret. Her only reply was that she dldn t eat as much ns formerly, that she was doing a bit of her own housework, nnd that she was spending about one hour less of the twenty-four In bed. By the end of one year her weight was exactly the same as when her age was thirty. She was very happy nnd very healthy be cause her face nnd figure were more youthful. Other women of the club, seeing these brilliant results, began reducing their food and obtained re sults more or less satisfactory In proportion to their perseverance. Why Retultt Are Different One member decided to make ft renl Job of reducing her food and liquids and on learning the extent to which her successful friend had cut down on foods, decreased her daily diet by Just twice the amount She did some extra work about the house, did considerable walking, les sened the number of hours In bed, nnd tried to do as little sitting as possible. Sure enough, the weight began to come off In both fnce and body, but whereas her friend's face had be come more youthful with bright eyes, she found that her face was wrinkled and worn, that her eyes were sunken, her body, though thin ner, had no buoyancy. Instead 6t looking ten years younger, she ap peared to be ten years older than before she started reducing. The reason for the success of one nnd the failure of the other, Is two fold. 1. The second woman attempted to reduce In too short a time. Not only were the skin, underlying tis sues, nnd the various organs of the body unnble to accommodate them selves so quickly In a normal way to this change, but the severe meth od of reducing was an nctunl shock to the system and shock shows on the face and body of every one, whether the shock Is due to phys ical or mental causes. 2. There Is a definite Ideal weight that each body should carry. The amount of weight depends upon the height nnd width, the length of the legs, family characteristics nnd oth er factors. Thus an Individual with a short body and long legs should not weigh ns much ns one with a long body nnd short legs. This second woman then had not only removed the fat too rnpldly but had reduced beyond the Ideal weight for her particular body. Besides, the amount of meat nnd eggs eaten was greatly below the body's re quirements to maintain the body’s muscular framework. Matter of Individual Study Another woman who had become quite plump at puberty (as she emerged from girlhood Into woman hood) attempted to reduce weight In the commonsense manner of the first member and found that the fat came off to a certain point and then her weight remained the same. By reducing the food Intake further she found that a little weight was removed but she felt so weak she had to Increase her food Intake. Consulting her physician and giv ing him the history of her efforts, he suggested the use of small doses of thyroid extract for a certain period as her overweight was due more to lack of gland juice than to overeating. The whole point about reducing for men and women Is that each one should study himself or herself, the build, the build of the parent most closely resembled, the weight when aged thirty, and then very gradual ly, very slowly cut down on the foods known to put fat on the body —bread, sugar, potatoes, butter, cream, and all liquids. Sleeping a little less and exercising a little more brings results in half the time. * • • How Reducing Drug Work* There has been so much discus sion among medical men about the results obtained by the use of dinltrophenol, that a •‘final’’ report from Drs. M. L. TnInter. A. B. Stock ton and W. C. Cutting. San Francis co, is of great Interest. Of 170 patients they studied only five lost no weight, while reduction * was obtained In the remaining 1(55. The average total loss of weight per patient was 17 pounds, amounting to about a loss of 1% pounds weekly. ft-WNU Servlca.
