In adopting the two-meals-a-day system, the noon meal should be omitted. This gives the stomach and the irritated nerves a rest, and creates natural hunger which augments both digestion and assimilation. (See Lesson XIII, p. 630).
BREAKFAST
- Melon or peaches
- A very ripe banana, with soaked prunes and cream
- A spoonful of nuts
- One or two spoonfuls of whole wheat, cooked very thoroughly
- One egg, prepared choice—preferably whipped
- One glass of water
A green salad or some sweet fruit may be eaten at noon if very hungry.
DINNER
- Squash or pumpkin, cooked en casserole
- Fresh string beans
- A baked sweet potato
- One or two tablespoonfuls of nuts—choice
- Junket or gelatin
- A glass of water
SUGGESTIONS FOR WINTER
