FROM BARBARA McCREADIE’S KITCHEN

Battie the bulge with this ‘souper’ diet

I FEEL as if I’m slowly re.’

covering from a_ 10-day
weekend.

Yeah, a LOST WEEKEND, at
that. This Christmas we went to
enough holiday gatherings to make
me hope the next one isn’t until
Easter.

Not that I didn’t have a fine
time at every one but there wasn’t
a single snack or nibble that J
didn’t try — and none that I didn't

like. I drank only my usual joy

juice — none of the fancy liqueurs
or eggnogs — but |! have a hunch
my liver might be sending a
message {0 my stomach that any
more of this nonsense and they’d
better consider strike action.

Obviously a get-healthy move-
ment is in order. (Like most of my
resolutions, this will probably last
until I see escargot on a menu).

Anyway, at the risk of boring
anyone who spent the holidays at a
health club, here is a diei that I re-
ly on, I devised it myself and I can
guarantee that it works, providing
you skip the escargot.

1 can also guarantee that it
doesn’t kill you. However, before
you jump on any dict bandwagon,
do consult your doctor. Part of the
problem is that the basic, boilom
line, nitty-gritty is soup. I despise
bland soup and this recipe is highly
seasoned and well salted. Sure, |
know that salt is a dreadful thing
to eat. Most of us shouldn’t touch
it with a tape measure. But, if your
doctor doesn’t go into cardiac ar-
rest at the thought of it, here is the
basic diet plan.

Either: 1 soft-boiled egg or 1 ounce

1 large glass of skim milk
1 multi-vitamin and mineral pil

doctor for his recommendation
and take it

The Rest of the Day: I told you
the diet relied on soup. This is the

basic recipe. Add any one of 100
additional vegetables — don't
worry about starch — you need the
vegetable kind.
