Beef
Christmas is one the way,
and dieters across the nation
are soon to be faced with the
yearly dilemma of giving up
holiday treats to maintain
their hard-fought-for figures.
Well, dieters...try this
menu on for size: Roast
Sirloin or Top Round, of beef,
cucumber salad, carrot
casserole, “whipped
potatoes” (actually a
cauliflower dish), tossed
green salad, pumpkin
chiffon pie, one crust apple
pie.
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

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.
