Streamlining Dinner Helps

To Reduce Ext

3! Ida

There is no getting around it.y

reducing is often a big proposition . . particularly when it comes to taking off anything like gounds of excess weight. The more

opelou it appears. the more dif- ficult it in to know where to start.

Start with dinner, for that is the meal moat apt to be responsible for the bulk of overweight. Many homemak -. just as a matter of course. plan the big meal of the day around meat. perhaps with gravy. potatoes or rice. another vegetable or a salad with French dressing. bread, hot: or cold. and a delicious dessert and a beverage. That's a standard pattern.

But night after night. a dinner list includes that amount starch. sugar and fat is too fat- tening in middle age. Why in mid- die age? Because the body's ener- gy requirements lessen between so and 40 metabolism slows down and lower calories are needed. When energy requirements change and food habits do not, weight be- gins. ..and grows.

And since it's the evening meal that is too high in calories. that 8 the one to diminish. In theory it seems quite easy to streamline dinner. In practice It's something else again. Maybe you've bumped up against this...

will point out. He's a hearty eat- .er and can't. seem to eat without 'a piecc of bread in one hand and a fork in the other.

What to do then? Well. he's hun- i gry and you are too. . and it's no' time to explain that the dietitiani says there should be only one starchy food with a low calorie meal. So. maybe it's better to take it I little easy. Instead of mak- ing your famous hot rolls so often. . start serving bread. Serve it on individual plates. twn thin slices for Mr . one for yourself And a small pat of butter each Or, when you have homemade corn bread or hot biscuits. after everyone has been served, take the plate offi

of the table. As long as the hot bread

is there. everybody will take sec- onds. maybe thirds. Pass the but- ter. . .

The man of the house is entitled to more calories than you are. so he can have bread and a pot- i ate. But cut calories by not fix-I ing gravy. . .and make the aalad dressing with less oil and more vinegar. Leave off cream sauces from vegetables and avoid escal-i loped dishes. Make these changes gradually. 1

Try your hand at preparing low calorie desserts. gelatins. or serve your favorite sponge cake without icing. Have fresh fruit cup or cook ed fruit compote. or occasionally serve fruit ice. He will relish crackers and his favorite cheese. . . and good coffee.
