Once you open a package of popcorn you can preserve its natural moisture by storing the unused portion in an airtight container. If it has been around for awhile and is not popping into fluffy, crisp kernels, you may have to do a little reconditioning. Simply fill a one-quart jar % full of pop corn and add 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and shake frequently, about every five or ten minutes, until all the water is absorbed. In two or four days, it should be ready to pop again. When you make popcorn, use a light cooking oil suitable for high temperature cooking. Butter is not advisable because it will smoke and burn at high temperatures needed to pop the kernels.

DIET HABITS HELP Don’t be fooled by exaggerated advertising. Diets that work and help you keep your weight within limits require patience. It took time to put all that weight on and you should expect to spend some time taking it off. Analyzing your eating habits is the best first step toward per manent weight loss. Ask yourself “what is my weakness” 7 For some, it’s second helpings. For others it’s desserts, TV snacks or a lack of exercise. Each of us has to identify our own patterns of excess before we can improve our eating habits. If we don’t change our habits, when we diet, the unwanted weight just comes right back. Once you’ve acknowledged a problem eating pattern, begin by making small changes that can become automatic after a week or two. For instance, try eating only one serving, or stop eating jams or honey on your breakfast toast. Substitute fresh fruits for gooey pastries and calorie-rich desserts. An alteration is usually better than cutting out whole parts of your meal.
