Scores of stout men and women, who have regained their normal figures by this method, find that a pound a day reduction is not too much to look for at the very start. Many have lost 10 pounds a week — and even more. Reduce as Quickly as You Wish The rate at which you lose your surplus flesh is largely under your own control. If you do not wish to lose flesh as rapidly as a pound a day or ten pounds a week, you can regulate this natural law so that your loss of flesh will be more gradual. By reducing more slowly you avoid any necessity for sudden changes of clothing. You can make slight and inexpensive alterations in your garments as you steadily attain a slender, graceful figure. In addition to normal weight and a more youthful figure you secure other benefits of equal importance. For this natural method also builds your health and gives you renewed vitality and energy. You obtain a clearer complexion, a brighter eye and a more elastic step. Many write that they have been astounded at losing wrinkles which they had supposed could not be effaced. As the superfluous flesh vanishes, the years seem to drop off also. Your nerves are improved and your sleep is more refreshing. You regain youthful vigor and spirits as well as youthful form. It is like being invited to step into an entirely new body, full of fresh ambition. A body of graceful lines, fairly tingling with health ; a body that seems capable of any degree of physical exertion. And you obtain all this without discomforts or painful self-denials. You make little change in your daily routine. Y'ou continue to do the things you like and to eat food you enjoy. In fact, far from giving up the pleasures of the table, you actually increase their variety. The Secret Explained Scientists have always realized that there was some natural law on which the whole system of weight control was based. It remained for Eugene Christian, the famous food specialist, to discover the one, safe, certain and easily followed method of regaining normal, healthful weight. He discovered that certain foods when eaten together, take off weight in stead of adding to it. Certain combina tions cause fat, others consume fat. Foi instance, if you eat certain foods at thi same meal, they are converted into ex cess fat. But eat these same foods at different times and thev will be converted into 'tissue and muscle. Then the excess fat you have already accumulated will be rapidly consumed because the fat-forming combinations have been cut off. There is nothing complicated and nothing hard to understand. It is simply a matter of learning how to combine your food according to a few simple, natural rules.
