Visiting King Nep

COLD FOODS ARE NOT COOLING
by Ida Kain

¿UMMER fare, particularly cold foods, somehow seems lighter and less fattening, and it's de- ceptively easy to pile up the calories and add fat padding without realising what goes on,
For example, that, Summer favourite, potato salad. One hall cup of this tasty dish seems so sdmyy, but furnishes 200 calories, Any salad that is rich with dressing is high in fuel and fattening, and with seconds it's easy to stoke up on 400 calories. That's four times as many calories as are contained in a medium size baked potato
the innocent potato you shun.
Iced coffee is frequently consumed in large quantities during a hot spell. I seems so cooling. But iced coffee calls for more cream and sugar then the hot beverage; therefore, it contains more fuel and is more "heating" and fattening And this holds true for all those delicious frosted beverages.
Comforting
Perhaps, the real reason there is a tendency to overeat on cold foods is the physiological fact that cold foods do not bring that comforting feeling of satisfaction sa quickly as a meal wirlch contains samething hot. One hot food with a meal helps you to feel that you have dined well.
This Summer, build the menus around the seasonal foods that are garden fresh and flavourful. That's all Summer dieting "I couldn't fight a Lion sny is, but minus, the fattening trimmings.
