CRASH DIETS DON’T WORK

2

‘But it’s only 10 pounds’

“HELP! I've gat to lose 10
Ibs. by Saturday. My sister 1s
getting married and my
bridesmaid’s dress doesn't
fit.’

Lose 10 Ibs. by Saturday?
A good seamstress, or even a
corsetiere, will have more
luck fitting you into your
bridesmaid’s dress than any
three-day crash diet.

As you know, there are any
number of weight-reducing
diet aids on the market to-
day. None of them are magic
and all are well designed to be
part of a total package of diet
modification and regular,
solid exercise. Your local
pharmacy probably = stocks
several commercial, non-
prescription diet products.

Basically there are four
types. The  bulk-producers
are one of these. They give a
feeling of fullness in order to
decrease appetite. The theory
here is: If you feel full, you
eat less.

For some people this
works, for others 1t does not.
If you eat more because you
like the taste of what you eat,
bulk-producing agents will be
of limited assistance.

Then there are the pro-
ducts which are meant to
decrease taste sensitivity. The
thinking behind these is: If
you cannot really taste the
food you eat, you eat less.
These products contain ben-
zocaine, a local anesthetic. It
numbs the mouth.

Almost all of us have
grown up with mothers who
warned us not to eat before
meals or ‘‘you’ll spoil your
appetite.’’ There are diet aids
which work on this ap-
proach, too. They contain
glucose. It’s a sugar and pro-
ducts containing it are
thought to satisfy the ap
petite centre in the brain.

Lastly, you will probably
find all-in-one formula diets

at your local pharmacy. For-
mula diets are meant to
replace one, two or three
meals a day Not only can
they become very
monotonous quite quickly

but, if used for long penods

of time, they Can = cause
constipanon

Don't use a formula diet
for more than two weeks
without consulting your
doctor
