Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days
> MORE WEIGHT LOSS TIPSOne spoonful usually contains 5 grams.
One gram of protein contains 4 calories.
One gram of carbohydrates contains 4 calories.
One gram of alcohol contains 7 calories.
And one gram of fat has 9 calories in it.
You need 15 calories for each pound of your present weight, to maintain that weight. By adding 1,000 a day you gain - taking off 1,000 you lose. One thousand calories is about 1/3 lb.
So chew fat, Eskimo style, if you want your weight to go up.
But if you want your weight to go down, then chew a gram of protein.
For me?
Pass me the Wrigley's, pal-1 calorie!
A TIP FROM THE ZOO!
Many teachers who teach doctors (what's a teacher who teaches a doc called, anyway?) now take the young studying medicos to the zoo to watch animals eat.
They see monkeys gobble down their peanuts, lions gulp down huge size meat. They see hunks slide down necks of giraffes, and even snakes swallow things whole.
Yet you never saw a giraffe put his paw to his mouth, burp, and say, "Pardon me!"
Proving, say these teachers of docs, that most foods digest happily in the stomach if you don't upset yourself mentally.
The animal feeds. Then lies down. Takes a snooze. Wakes up with no need for Alka-Seltzer. He has relaxed.
As Poor Elmer's Almanac on Diet might put it: "It isn't what's on the fork that causes indigestion, but what's on the mind!"
SOMETHING ON COLD SHOWERS
Cold showers (ugh!) knock off more weight than hot showers or baths.
Seems when you are cold the body yells for more heat.
Inside you are mechanical engineers that start your motor racing. We call it shivering. Or goose pimples, which are nature's way of bringing blood to the cold surface.
This action costs you calories which dissipate themselves trying to warm you up.
There are 4000 calories to a pound.
If you're mechanically minded, with a good head for numbers, figure out how many goose pimples it takes to shiver off a pound!
I'M SHRINKING UNDER 190
Four pounds to go.
Then I'll be a Man of Distinction again.
Four pounds - but they're the hardest yet. After reducing 40 pounds, it's like being on the 4-yard line after a 40-yard run. The touchdown is toughest!
I don't want that gaunt look that many people get when they diet. I find vitamins prevent much of this - if you're on the kind of diet that sees you get 'em.
My outsize clothes make me look more gaunt than I am, but brother, soon I'll go into the store (when I am finally sure what my regular weight will be) and order up some new ones.
I'll be that Man of Distinction yet.
My belts are going halfway around again. My back trouser pockets are getting closer and closer together.
I'm afraid if I sneeze too hard the pants will fall down now. I'm not putting up the kind of front any more they need to hold them up.
My head size has gone down. Really, I know now what they mean when they call you a "fat head." My hat size has gone down from 7 3/8 to 7 1/2.
I'll soon need a new Resistol again. The wind is blowing my present Benny off my head.
My Johnson and Murphys are even getting sloppy on me. I've gone down in my foot size along with everything else. I'm now a double A instead of an A.
Lucius Beebe! Watch out, son!
P.S. - 189 now.
