A NON-FATTENING DINNER.
Last week I was rather discouraging
about the fattening effects of the usual
Christmas dinner. It's a splendid sort
of meal for the woman who wants
to gain flesh, but it's hopeless for the
one who is tryinsr to reduce. So here
J are a few suggestions for. a Christfaa
'dinner that the fat woman can eat
! without, feeling she is adding too much
to her weight:
But first of all I must answer a crit
icism that I know all my stout friends
are going to hurl at me. They are all
going to say "Christmas comes but
once a year, we certainly might be al
lowed to do as we choose and eat
what we please, just once!" The only
trouble with that is that they will
work for a week taking off the flesh
caused by one day's indulgence. I
don't think that pays, but after all,
it's a matter of one's personal opinion.
But here is a Christmas dinner which
really won't be fattening and which
does not sacrifice too many of the gas
tronomlcal pleasures of the holiday:
Grapefruit: delicious to start a meal
and not fattening, if you don't eat
sugar with it. Oysters, practically no
caloric value, unless you cover them
with cocktail sauce. Thin Soup: it's
only the thick soups you must avoid.
Turkey: you must only avoid the stuf
fing and the thick gravy. Any Vege
tables: except potatoes and beans.
Salad: this usually isn't fattening un
less you have a lot of mayonnaise. Des
sert: practically all desserts are very
