To reduce this fleshy tissue it is necessary to prevent the storage of more sugars, starches and fats in the body, and to cause that which is already stored there to be gradually consumed to prevent starving.
Many people who go on a diet for reducing flesh in a few days complain of great, weariness, exhaustion and gnawing hunger in the pit of the stomach. A diet that cuts down the supply of food with the intention of reducing is extremely dangerous unless it is supervised by a physician. But persons who wish to make a visible reduction of flesh in a time ranging from five to six weeks can do so, if they will learn the foods that cause and feed these flesh-forming tissues and learn to replace this with non-fat-forming foods.
And summer time is an ideal time to accomplish a reduction of flesh for those who wish to try it.
