THE LOW-FAT DIET
The lowfat diet proved to be effective in reducing weight and promoting general
good health.
IF 20 MILLION AMERICANS WERE TO appear on the streets
tomorrow, each with a cement block weighing between 20 and 40 pounds permanently
attached to his person, it would create a tremendous stir. Fantastic? Not at all.
As a matter of fact, such a situation does prevail right at this moment. The only
difference is that the weights those 20 million Americans are carrying consist
of fat rather than cement. And the burdens are less conspicuous because they are
distributed over their bodies.
Typical of this group was Mr. B., a short man of 180 pounds, who had just recently
recovered from his coronary thrombosis. But he complained of great fatigue and
shortness of breath on exertion. He just couldn't be able to resume his work as
a builder. For his height and bodily frame, he was easily 36 pounds overweight.
On the low-fat diet he lost a pound each week. At the end of the year he weighed
145 pounds. In his own words, he "felt like a million dollars." He found
himself vigorously back at work again with ease and enjoyment
You can do something about diet, and you can follow the low-fat diet with no difficulty,
without having to suffer unexciting series of daily menus. And you can lose excess
(unhealthy) weight easily, safely, and with¬out having to starve yourself
or restrict your diet to only a few foods such as lettuce and cottage cheese.
You don't have anything to say about your heredity or your sex, but you can do
something about what you eat and what you weigh.
You will discover exactly how to eat and what to eat in order to prolong your
life and increase your health and vitality. The low-fat program given in this
book can do wonders for your general health and well-being. It may even save you
or your loved ones from heart attacks, strokes, and other illnesses in which the
role of the "killer" fat is unmistakable. Now that we know that fat
is guilty, let's see exactly what we can do to keep this silent menace from destroying
your heart and your health.
