Weight Loss With Doss By DOSS BURNS, Nutritionist Warren County Health Department Do you want to learn how to lose weight? There is a new radio show, Weight Loss with Doss, which might help you. This weight loss program will be on the air every Wednesday morning at 11 a. m. on WVSP 90.9 FM, Warrenton. This is the fourth in a series of articles which will highlight and summarize the weight loss program. YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DIET This week we are going to cover the starchy and fatty foods on your diet. Last week we discussed starchy vegetables and this week we are going to talk about the other foods which are starchy and the fatty toppings we usually put on starchy foods to make them too fattening. WHAT ARE THE STARCHY FOODS? Starchy foods fall into several groups. First there are the breads which include loaf bread, rolls and buns. One slice of bread contains about 70 calories. The serving size of the following starchy foods contain about the same number of calories as a slice of bread: Breads - Ms hamburger or hotdog bun, Vfc English muffin, 3 table spoons bread crumbs. Cereal - Ms cup Bran Flakes, *4 cup ready-to-eat unsweetened cereal, V4 cup pasta (cooked), spaghetti, noodles, macaroni, 3 cups popcorn (without added fat). Flour-2 tablespoons cornmeal, 2M> tablespoons flour. Crackers- 3 Arrowroot, 2 Graham, 6 saltines. Dried beans, peas and lentils-Vfc cup cooked dried beans, peas and lentils. Starchy Vegetables- Mi cup corn, V* ear corn on the cob, V4 cup butter beans, % cup parsnips, Vz cup garden peas, 1 small white potato, Vi cup mashed potato, % cup pumpkin or winter squash, or acorn or butternut, V« cup yam or sweet potato. ARE STARCHY FOODS FATTENING? When eaten m moderation starchy foods are not fattening. Many fad diets try to get you to totally eliminate all starchy foods. However, it is usually the fatty toppings we put on starchy foods which contain the most calories. One teaspoon of butter, margarine, or oil has almost 50 calories. Starchy fowls only have 70 calories per serving. Let's take an example of a baked potato containing about 70 calories. Now add 2 teaspoons of butter or margarine and you have added 100 calories to make a total of 170 calories. What about a sandwich? Two slics of bread would be 140 calories, one ounce or lean meat about 60 calories. Now add about one tablespoon of mayonnaise and you have an added ISO calories for a total of 350 calories. So you can see that starchy foods are good to eat but without the extra calories added from fat. HOW MANY STARCHY FOODS SHOULD YOU BAT? For this diet you should eat at least one serving of a starchy food at each meal but no more than two starches at any one meal. However, if you find that this is not enough and you are losing more than 2 pounds a week you may have up to 3 starches per meal. You should not be eating less than one starch per meal. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO EAT STARCHY FOODS? Starchy foods are high in B vitamins which help our bodies grow at a normal rate. Starches are also an extremely important source of fiber. Fiber is important for proper digestion and elimination. Eating enough fiber keeps you from getting constipated and may prevent cancer of the boweL DO SOME STARCHES HAVE MORE FIBER THAN OTHERS? The whole grain cereals and breads have more fiber than white bread and the highly refined cereals. Bran is high in fiver and can be added to meatloaf and muffins and other bread recipes for more fiber. HOW MUCH FAT SHOULD WE EAT? On this diet you need to cut way back on the amount of fat you use. The easiest way to do this is to stop frying foods and bake, broil or boil your food. Also remember to choose the lean cuts of meat and trim off all of the visible fat and skin. If you do this you may have equivalent to 1 teaspoon of fat at each meal to season or cook your food with. For next week you should continue your diet and concentrate on limiting your starchy foods to at least one serving per meal but not more than two servings per meal and limit the fat to no more than one teaspoon per meal. YOUR EATING HABITS HOW DOES HUNGER AFFECT YOUR EATING? Do we eat when we are hungry or out of habit? Last week I asked you to rate how hungry you were before each meal on a scale of one to five, with one being not hungry and five being very hungry. Many of you may find that if you are still eating snacks between meals that you are probably not very hungry at your regular meals. HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOU ARE REALLY HUNGRY? There are two critical times of the day when most people are likely to overeat, before supper and after supper. You may find that you eat out of habit at these times, not because you are hungry. Let's take the example of snacking before supper. You come home from work and immediately go to the refrigerator or cupboard for a little snack to hold you until supper. You may not really be hungry, but you have had a hard day and feel that you deserve a treat What could you do instead? Sometimes you may just be thirsty. Drink a glass of cold water, and thai wait a few minute*. You may find that what you thought was hunger will pass. If you can delay your eating for fifteen minutes by doing something else like going for a walk, taking a bath or a shower, cleaning out a dirty closet, sitting in a comfortable chair and listening to music, doing exercises, etc., you may find that what you thought was hunger will pass and you will be able to wait until supper. So remember: 1) Drink water, 1) Delay eating 15 minutes and 3) Do something else. This will help you to keep from eating anytime you are tempted to eat a snack between or after meals. NEXT WEEK'S FOOD RECORD Next week we are going to discuss how our moods affect our eating. To prepare for this write down how you feel before your meal in your food record. You may feel tense, relaxed, bond, fatigued, tired, happy, nervous, unhappy, etc. Do this for at least three days this week. And keep those pounds coming off.

GARDEN Chrysanthemum Is Popular Summer/Autumn Bloomer The chrysanthemum is one of' the best-known and most pop ular of all summer and autumn bloomers. The plant originated in China and Japan, where it was grown long before the Christian era began in Europe. Cultivated varieties appeared in Europe in the 18th century. A member of the Compositae family, the chrysanthemum takes its name from the Greek chrysos, gold and anthos, flow er—thus, goldflower. Thechrys anthemum rivals the rose in the cut flower category, principally because the daisy-like flowers are offered by florists in a variety of colors year-round. The chrysanthemum generally bloom in late summer and au tumn but will bloom in winter under glass and bloom at any time of the year under selected conditions. Hybrid varieties offered by florists are of Chinese origin. Several varieties are available, with differing petal formations and flower shapes. Flowers may be daisy-like singles or doubles, small pompom shapes or florets which curve inward to form a globular shape. Chrysanthemums require sun light, need fertile soil containing lime and must be watered fre quently during the growing sea son. Propagation is possible by division or seed, with division generally the most successful method. Cuttings from the base of the mother plant should be kept warm under glass to en courage sprouting. The smaller varieties are best under glass for wintertime cut flowers. Ruby Seaman (right) is presented the Outstanding Junior Award for District 14 by Katie Fleming.
