Of

Quickie Dieting

If you have been fighting fat for years pull up a chair. There are more than 60 million over- weight people in the United States. Surveys reveal that at any given time. one fourth of these over- weigliis are on a diet. But alas. 85 per cent of all dieters turn right around and pile the lost pounds back on . . . and often add a few more pounds in the bar-

gain.

It's high time we dealt more intelligently with our mounting problem of overweight. The quick diets which promise miraculous results are a source of much oi this off-again-on-again dieting. Try to lose weight on lop-sided or star- vation fare is not only futile-but it can be serious danger to health. rwo DIET TYPES

First. let's analyze the short- comings oi the so-called quickie diets. Actually there are two types . . . the diets consisting of two or three foods and the diets that are so low in calories that they are nimed'at "starving" off the pounds. Even if the dieter can stay with such fare long enough to lose 10 pounds or 20. as soon as the diet is stopped. back she goes to her fattening food habits. Thus. all her effort was in vain.

But even more important than

the sheer futility of quickie diete- medical researchers have recently brought to light the dangers inher-

ent in the reducing-galnlng-reduc- E

lng cycles. They warn that this can represent a serious health hazard. it is during the active gaining process that more'fat particles are present in the blood stream. and this may have par- ticularly serious implications as far as heart disease is concerned. MUST STAY REDUCED

in other words. alternately gain- ing and losing is looked upon now as more undesirable than carry- ing a moderate amount oi excess weight. Doctors are now advis- ing: "Do not attempt to reduce unless you plan to stay reduced."

on the beauty score. repeatedly losing and guning is aging. for it diminishes the elasticity of the skin. . .teading to wrinkles and iiabbiness.

To be successful. any weight re- ductioa plan should place the em- phasis on weight control. The only way to insure a weight loss is to re-educate the eating habits. The protective diet provides a basic pattern that retralna the eating habits as pounds are being lost. After weight is normalized. this pattern is a natural for keeping weight controlled for a lifetime.

My husband and I have threat- ened to put her in jail. to which she retorts "Anything would be better than this." Then also runs off and cries.

SEVERE REJECTION

Dear E.V.: On the surface. all seems baffling. maybe. But be- neath the surface, the parts of the puzzle fall together. to give clues to what ails Dora.

Her problem behavior as de- scribed is symptomatic in every detail of the severely rejected child. Phobic overeating and ill- concesled pilfering are classic "compensatory" and - or "self damaging" tendencies. in desper- ately disturbed juveniels. who suf- fer a cruel lack of real family love and allegiance.

Your own attitude sustains this interpretation. For example. your lnvolunta y evasion of the iarnily doctor's advice. to get psychiatric help. also your protest that you "can't stand having an abnormal child". indicate that you feel de- fensively guilty about the situa- tion. Unconsciously you don't want to come to grips with the trhth of what's wrong.

REBENTED HEB?

As to why you've mismanaged Dora's experience. I can only sup- pose that you've resented her ex- ' from the first. may be be- cause you were emotionally rag- ged for all sorts of reasons when she was born-so that you got off on the wrong foot with her. This would throw her off balance too.

Later. in her school years. you may have become obecurely jeal- ous oi her attractiveness-a not unheard-of weakness of mothers.

Your present threat. to send has to jail. is an expression of hate- not of concern to repair the dam- aged mninaprings of her charac- ter. Thus. all things considered. 1 underscore your doctor's advice- to get psychla EL leadership II helping Dora. M.l-I.
