- Two heaping tablespoonfuls of plain wheat, thoroughly cooked, or simmered over night; eat with butter and nuts
- One or two eggs, either whipped or cooked two minutes
The entire meal may consist of boiled wheat and butter, with a very little cream, unless the weather is exceedingly cold, in which event the wheat may be reduced in quantity, and two, or even three, whipped eggs taken.
LUNCHEON
- A liberal portion of baked sweet potato
- Stewed pumpkin or winter squash, with either butter or olive-oil
- A cup of chocolate
DINNER
- Carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, onions—any two of these
- A small portion of tender fish or fowl; or, an egg preferred
- A baked potato
- Celery, or slaw, with nuts
Avoid overeating. Stomach fermentation is caused largely by taking into the stomach a quantity of food in excess of digestive ability or of bodily requirements. The logical remedy, therefore, is to limit the quantity of food, or to increase the amount of physical exercise.
