YOUR BEST BUY IN CALORIES, STAR-TESTED BY DEBORAH WALLEY
One day Deborah Walley went into a store, tried on a dress in her usual size five — and gasped. The dress didn’t fit. She looked at herself squarely in the mirror and said, “Deborah, you’ve eaten yourself out of a size five and you may have eaten yourself out of a career!” A few days later, Columbia called and told her that if she could lose twelve pounds before they were ready to start production, she would be the new Gidget. This confirmed her worst suspicions.
She headed straight for her doctor’s, and his report was the first bit of encouragement she’d had all day. She was in perfect health, he told her, and if she had the will power, there wasn’t a reason in the world*why she couldn’t lose the weight. Not a reason except a growling stomach, she thought.
But she did it. She lost the weight, looked great and got the part. Not only that, Buena Vista saw her and signed her for a role in “Bon Voyage.” How did she do it? Here are the rules she followed:
1. Go to your doctor for a checkup and a basal metabolism test (this determines how fast your body burns the food you eat). Have a frank talk with him about the kind of life you lead — how much exercise
you get. how much sleep, what meals you skip, what your crowd eats on dates. Then let him determine your ideal weight — meaning what you ought to weigh.
2. Estimate the number of calories you need to maintain your present weight. You can approximate this by counting twenty calories for each pound of your ideal weight, plus four calories per pound of overweight. For example, suppose your weight is 110 and your doctor tells you that your ideal weight is 100. You would need to consume 2040 calories a day to maintain your present over-weight (100 lbs. X 20 calories = 2000 calories, 10 lbs. overweight X 4 calories = 40 calories, 2,000 -f 40 = calories). Of course, you don’t want to keep your present weight — you want to take off ten pounds. Nothing could be easier — even the math is simple.
3. Cut your calorie intake by 3500 for each pound you want to lose. It doesn’t matter if you do it in a week, a month or a year. Any normal, healthy person who drops 3500 calories from the number he needs to maintain his present weight will also drop one pound. The safest, most comfortable way for most people to diet is to take off one pound a week.
