More activity in the daily routine can further the cause of a reducing diet, or with no change in diet at all it can bring about a gradual loss of excess fat. Long hours of strenuous exercise aren’t necessary to keep weight in check and, for many people, are not even- recommended. But regular, less strenuous exercise can be surprisingly effective for people who need to take-it easier and at the same time need to either lose or maintain weight while eating the same a mount of food as before. Nutritionists of the Agri cultural Research Service gave, this example: If an ov erweight woman, who gets just enough calories to main tain her weight, spends one extra hour a day at house work that keeps her moder ately active and moving a round instead of sitting, she uses 90 more calories a day. In a year, if her diet re mains about the same, she can lose 9 pounds. Then if she can change a second “sitting hour” to some type of daily active recreation, without changing diet, she can use an additional 170 calories a day, and in a year shed another 15 pounds, or a total of 24 pounds. Many people, of course, are not as free to get more activity /into their daily rou tines, particularly those with fulltime jobs Thus, leisure time offers the best opportu nity for more exercise. Even thoueh the time given to added activity may be short, if established as a regular routine it can have granuai and lasting effects on weight and can also help muscle tone and circulation. For ex ample, if a bran who has been eating enough to keep his weight the same, can manage a 20-minute walk everyday instead of sitting for that time, he can lose 5 pounds in a year, provided he doesn’t eat more food than before. ONE MENU PLAN CAN SUIT WEIGHT WATCHERS. OTHERS You don’t need to plan 'two sets of meals when one family member is trying to keep his weight down. Seasonings that won’t add calories can be your answer to serving one meal for all. Spices, herbs, vinegar, lem on and other tart fruit Juices can take the place of grav ies, salad dressing, table fats and rich sauces. A tomato and lettuce salad gives needed vitamins with only 35 calories. But when you add French dressing you add mostly calories—6o more Or with mayonnaise, the salad totals 145 calories. If you plan to serve your family a roast beef, potato and gravy, peas and fruit cup dinner you can cut cal ories by more than half by leaving out some of the ex tras. Both the weight-watchers and the normal eater can be served the beef resist and the potatoes. To cut down on calories you will - need to serve only half the amount of potato and leave off the jmt&s ■Tf^^o^ .. - ,'>SV \« .*O /. * ?A* * $r v r*tt “V ** * it ' ■ - THESE HOFFMAN SEED MEN ARE READY TO SERVE YOU I C.
