Beef - a dieter’s delight? Yes indeed. Working with the National Live Stock and Meat Board’s home economists, the Diet Workshop has worked out a Christmas dinner menu that is diet-safe, easy to prepare, adjustable for non-dieting family members. Lois L. Lindauer, National Director of the Diet Workshop, a national organization of weight control classes, announced the Beef holiday menu. She said; “Beef is a valuable must for any diet. Not only does it taste good and satisfy the appetite, it is a major source of complete protein, vitamins and other nutrients needed by everyone - dieting or not. “Like all red meats,” added Lindauer, “beef is almost completely digestable. This means the Saturday, Dec. 7. 1974 Dieter’s Delight body gets nearly 100 percent of the benefits available in each serving." John L. Huston. Vice President of the Meat Board's Beef Program, said. "The psychological effect of a good beef roast - a traditional Christmas ser ving • is not to be overlooked. Serving beef should help make a dieter’s Christmas all the merrier. We are extremely pleased with the Diet Workshop’s using a beef roast in their holiday menu recommendations.” Huston said that beef prices for the holiday period should continue to be at tractive making it an economical dish, easy to prepare on what is sure to be a busy day. “These beef roasts require no basting or stuffing and are easy to carve with little waste.” The Diet Workshop is currently teaching the use of beef for diet control in all of its classes.
