Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days
> ALCOHOL AND WEIGHT LOSSI read a neat trick the other day of how one fellow went on the wagon without taking the Keeley Cure or going to some "health farm."
It worked for him as successfully as a rolling pin in the hands of his wife.
He made up his feeble mind not to touch a drop BEFORE dinner; to do all his drinking after dinner.
He found that after 30 minutes with Brillat-Savarin he had little desire to hob-nob with Bacchus.
That food in his stomach took away the desire to imbibe too freely of the bottle. His consumption was cut way down.
In addition, the food in his stomach absorbed a lot of the alcohol and robbed him of the desire to over-indulge.
No effect-no desire!
His weight went way down, too. He had no artificial appetite worked up - and by cutting down on 7 or 8 before - dinner highballs, the cuss was 700 to 800 less on calories per day!
Tricks to all trades, aren't there? Even to advocates of "lost weekends."
SILLY-RUT THEY WORK!
Since fat won't gather around a working muscle, the tummy and derriere of fat boys harbor the most fat. '
For needed exercise on the "seat area," try wiggling in synchronization with your tooth brush as you slide it back and forth across the molars.
You may look ridiculous from the rear, but who can see you anyway. The exercise will reduce that portion of your anatomy.
For reducing the tummy try walking to the bath room and back each morning on all fours!
You never saw a four-legged animal with a bay window, or have you?
IT'S THE BAR NIBBLES
What the right hand does at the bar often isn't as important to the diet as what the left hand is doing.
Without letting your right hand know what it's doing, your left hand can suddenly reach clear across the widest bar and return with a handful of peanuts or 'tater chips loaded with 100 to 200 calories, depending on the size of your paw.
Each peanut has 10 calories; so does each 'tater chip; each of most bar nibbles, in fact. Talk about the hand being quicker than the eye - it can be quicker than the metabolism, too.
Remember, nothing you nibble is lacking in calories.
Before you can say "Gimme another," your left hand, without your knowledge, reaches out and scoops up 150 calories.
I have a 200-calorie paw, especially when the sign says "Free Lunch."
What's your paw hold?
Don't forget that it's possible to manufacture a spare tire with one hand - your left hand.
EFFECTS OF THE BEVERAGE
I learned that a little whisky isn't risky.
After all, it's food. In fact, I have read that the body needs some alcohol to exist. (The W.C.T.U. might disagree on this.)
However, doctors have found this to be true.
They tell me that many foods actually turn to alcohol in the system!
No-I won't reveal which foods! Ask your doc.
Many older folks are often required by their doctors to take a short nip each day.
And don't they slug a brandy down you when they find you passed out in a snowstorm?
In the Swiss Alps they don't put watercress sandwiches around the neck of the dog with the sad face - they hang a small barrel of brandy on him!
Was my old Prohibition Dad surprised recently when he went to his doe and was advised to take a drink of whisky on and off during the day to "relax his system."
Now, Louie, don't turn into a barfly at your age!
