Know-by Dr. Mary

Everybody is vitally interested in this series of diets that have been appearing in the "Telegraph." Dr. Mary Anthony, specialist in Health and Welfare, has been to Sweden to look for a perfect diet. She has found six diets that must appeal to all in search of the perfect figure and fitness. The Swedes were world pioneers in the study of special exercises and massage for Health and Beauty. Now they are leading the world in the study of dietetics for the prevention and cure of disease and the surest way to health and beauty.

5. Diet

Tis proved by modern medical science that a -reasonable amount of

slimming is health-givi..g and produces a sense of well- 'being.

There is no doubt that many of us consistently eat too much. Habit is very strong; and it is only when the Individual aotually begins to study and to weigh her food that she realises how she has over-caten in the past.

When an excess of food and drink is taken it is stored in the liver and the body generally. The body only uses up enough food and drink to keep it going, and the excess is not eliminated -but produces an unnecessary amount of. fat. For this reason a careful dict will reduce the ordinary healthy fat person.

There are, however, certain individuals who do not react to a slimming diet. There are individuals who cannot elimi- nato fluid properly: their tissues become water-logged. In such cases an ordinary reducing diet will not help matters. The fluid intake must be lessened and medicine given to help rid the tissues of their excess of moisture, through the kidneys.

NOTHER type of obesity which does not react to diet is due to failure. either partial or entire, of the glands which throw an internal secretion, into the blood stream. This type is seen in abnormally fat schoolchildren._...

But the ordinary healthy person should react well to the following Swedish diet list for reducing fat.

Very little sult is used in the diot and the meals are taken as dry-na.....possible. Eating betwe3n- meals is strictly forbidden. Only plain er mineral water is allowed between meals.

At first there may be a feeling-of-hunger-and-of- wenkness, but after a day or two this passes off and is followed by a sense of well-being and energy.
