Health
And
Beauty
A great deal is written
about the best way to weight
reduction. If you are In
terested in this subject, you
will want to learn about hid
den calories.
Did you know, that if you
would eliminate just one pat
of butter each day, you could
lose more than eight pounds
in body weight in one year. If
you would eliminate one
tablespoonful of salad oil per
day you could reduce ten'
pounds during one year.
A good example of hidden
calories can be found In the
"diet popular" baked potato.
The potato itself contains
only eighty calories How
ever, by the time you add one
P?t of butter the calories
double and can hardly be
called diet fare.
One tablespoon of gravy
contains 100 calories. By the
time you fry foods, you need
an adding machine to count
I, the calories.
Many of us drop an arti
ficial sweetner in our coffee
or tea. then fill the cup with
cream.. A teaspoon full of
sugar contains about sixteen
calories. The cream can easily
add 80 calories.
L?an roast beef is only
twelve per cent fat by weight.
L*an pork, on the other
hand, is fully thirty per cent
fat.
Some people pad vthelr
daily intake of calorijn by
drinking. In this department,
it is easy to make weight
reduction impossible even on
a strict* diet Thtre are 150
calories in one and one-half
ounces of whisky, 120 cal
orles In the same amount of
gin and 120 calorie* In an
eight-ounce glass of beer.
Keep these biU of Infor
mation in mind If you want
to lose weight or retain your
present weight.
