A miracle? This transformation of Mrs. Buxom, size 40, into Mrs i Slim, size 36‘! No miracle at ali-- I ifs just what happens when W11 follow a sane and healthful low- calory regime.

Your extra pounds and bulges come from taking foods which give more calories than you need. So. to reduce, choose foods which give you fewer calories than you necd. On 1.200 calories a day, you lose two pounds a week.

And don't fear that you'll have a “hay and grass" diet. Your calory chart lists many tasty low-calory foods. Instead of a nut-cheese sandwich (300 calories) you choose an olive sandwich (150). Instead of a chocolate walnut sundae (425) you take Spanish cream (100 a cup).

Your regular meals are as satisfy- ing as this one: one cup consomme (25 calories), one slice roast bee! (100), 1A cup lima beans (100). 1/4 head lettuce, 1 tablespoon French- dressing. (79), 1 slice buttered bread (100). angel cake (100). Only 50f calories.

Swinging open a heavy wooden door, Robert sprang through i0 change hi5 clothes and his shoes to a 11g ter pair. Taking a skipping rope down from a hook, he began to swing it wilh the skill of an acro- bat. For fifteen minutes tinica by ihe clcck which ticked loudly on the wall he kept it up. then turned his attention to a heavy stuffed bag which hung from a stout rope. Pull- ing on a pair oi large padded box- ing gloves he began to punch at the bag with a. power that sent it sway- ing back and forth like a pendulum. There were moments when" his punching was vicious. and the sack seemed to wilt under the punish- inent, dumb thing though if was.
