It does most of the work for you! As you look at the key to this reducing plan—the CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET LISTS (shown on pull-out chart following page 18) you will quickly see that the foods you must eat classify into 6 simple lists. _The foods in amounts indicated in each of these lists are nutritional equals._ FOR EXAMPLE: Under the Meat List you will find seven foods ... each one having the _same amount of protein, carbohydrate, fat and calories_— Meat and poultry (Beef, lamb, pork, liver, chicken) Cold Cuts (Salami, minced ham, Bologna, liverwurst, luncheon loaf) Frankfurter Egg Fish (Haddock, flounder, bass, salmon, tuna, crab, lobster, shrimp, clams, oysters, sardines) Cheese (Cheddar type, cottage) Peanut butter If yours is the 1200 daily calorie diet ... and calls for 4 of the foods on the Meat List ... just select _any_ 4 of the foods you wish (in the quantity indicated) without thinking about calories and you can’t go wrong. _The calories have already been counted for you when the list was prepared._ Q. WHY DOES PROTEIN PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS DIET? A. _Because this particular nutrient is a vital key to feeling, looking and doing your best at all times._ The more science proves about protein, the more we know of its importance in the daily diet. _Your body can’t store protein ... you must have a new supply of it every day to build and renew body tissues._ You can readily see, then, why protein is so necessary in reducing diets. Without it, body tissues waste away, muscles sag and pep lags. Q. HOW SOON WILL YOU SEE RESULTS ON THIS REDUCING DIET? [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] A. _You will lose from one to three pounds[3] a week._ However, don’t be discouraged if you lose slowly at first or if you lose at an irregular rate. Remember, you gained all these extra pounds over a period of time. Give yourself time to lose them. Q. IF YOU GET HUNGRY ... ARE “BETWEEN-MEAL” SNACKS ALLOWED ON THIS DIET? A. _Yes! Because they not only make dieting more pleasant, they are necessary!_ Nutritionally, a “between-meal” snack does two things: gives dieters an “energy lift” needed at late morning and late afternoon. Also, it dulls the appetite, making the dieter content with less food at the next meal. Remember, however, these snacks must be kept within your daily calorie pattern! Choice-of-Foods diet allows you to have the famous Knox High-Protein Gelatine Drink 3 times a day. [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] (Yes, this is the same concentrated protein drink doctors have recommended for years ... as a pleasant way to get more protein in the daily diet of persons whose daily intake of this vital nutrient may be inadequate.) In the reducing diet, the Knox Drink works 3 ways:
