This meal eliminates potatoes, butter and the rich heavy desserts. The portions should be about three ounces of lean meat and one-half cup of each vegetable, three leaves of lettuce. Use French dressing on all salads and one-half cup of fruit for dessert.
This amount of food will not only satisfy, but also will, if persisted in, give satisfactory results in a reduction of flesh. This means that you cannot eat candy and other sweets between meals, and if you feel that you must have something sweet, try a piece of chewing gum. If fruits are too sour, try corn syrup for sweetening; about one-half cup to each quart of prepared fruit. Fresh fruits develop their own natural sweetness if they are baked instead of stewed in a saucepan. Just place them in a casserole dish with this amount of syrup or plain water and bake in a moderate oven for thirty-five minutes.
