HOfc^RE l/oujam / DR. JAMES W. BARTON Talk* About 6 Value of Meat and Eggs ONEofthe points physicians. stress in laying out a diet! to reduce weight is warning) the patient not to cut down onl meat and eggs. Starches, fats, and liquids must all be reduced in amount, but the animal pro tein foods—meat and eggs—must not be reduced. Why is it necessary that protein foods be eaten regularly and in the usual amounts? Meat and eggs are needed fori the building of new cells and re Dr. Barton building worn out cells of the body.; They must be eatem regularly because for the most part they get used or burned by the vari ous body processes whereas fats, starches, a. i liq-. uids are stored in con s iderable amounts in various organs and tissues of the body. Thusi a new supply daily of proteins is) necessary to the health of thej body. Another valuable point about pro teins in reducing weight is the ‘‘sat isfied” feeling they give—patient* feel less hungry after eating pro teins than after eating the other types of food. This satisfied feeling make* many patients able and willing to continue on the reduced diet who might feel so weak on less protein that they would give up entirely the idea of reducing weight. Therefore the idea of giving a good quantity of meat and eggs daily in weight reducing diets has become popular as there is not that feeling of extreme weakness and hunger that alarms many pa tients. Reduce Weight on Proteins Dr. L. K. Campbell, Chicago, in the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, Chicago, reports his experience with 27 patients placed on what is called the high protein diet. He observed an av erage loss of weight of from about one to six pounds per week in the 27 patients, over a period of from 4 to 52 weeks. None of this over weight was due to any gland dis turbance in the body. That is, the patients had acquired their ex cess weight by eating more than they needed and not taking enough exercise. The ideal weight for the !• dividu al’s height and general build was first estimated and the amount of protein foods given was in propor tion to this ideal weight. The whole diet was about 20 per cent less than the individua' need ed for the weight he was carrying which meant that some of his own body tissue—fat—was needed and so used by the body to keep its processes working properl; “The patients maintained excel lent health, continued all their nor mal activities, and had an in crease of energy as their weight decreased. The large amount of lean meat and vegetables prevent ei1. the hunger of which most in dividuals complain during weight reduction on low protein diets. There were no changes in the ac tion of the kidneys and no change in the blood pressure during any period of the observation.” I believe that the result obtained by Dr. Campbell on this high pro tein diet can be obtained by other physicians who will first examine the overweight patient, then out line a diet that will cut down fats, starches and liquids, by not less than 20 per cent of the estimated food requirements, keeping up, however, a full diet of meat and eggs. Proteins Impart Strength. One of the biggest factors in the success of this high protein diet is the feeling of strength and energy that comes to the patient. Weight reduction by cutting down fats, starches and liquids also gives a feeling of “lightness” and more willingness to exercise or move about, but the meat and eggs gives an even greater desire or willing ness to exercise. And of course with this willingness or desire to exercise, more exercise will be taken with the result that the ex cess weight comes oil at a faster rate than ever. As you know the using up or burning up of proteins in the body increases the internal heat of the body by four to six times as much as does fat or starch. Many will naturally question the effect of protein foods on the kid neys and blood vessels as they have understood that meat forms “clink ers” in the kidneys, and helps to “harden” the arteries, thus increas ing the blood pressure However, Dr. Campbell definitely points out that with the protein foods given in proportion to the ideal body weight (not the weight of the indi vidual with his excess fat there were no changes in the ability of the kidneys to do their work and no change in the blood pressure. <Q—WNU Servlc.
