832-Uncaster Farming, Saturday, May 4,1985 NEWARK, Del. - The bathing suit season will soon be here and many folks are trying to trim down. In an effort to lose weight, people try all sorts of fad diets, from lollipops to grapefruit. Besides being ineffective, these diets can be downright dangerous. Peggy Policastro, a student dietitian with the University of Delaware’s Coordinated Un dergraduate Program in Dietetics, says that to lose weight you must eat less and exercise more. We lose weight when our bodies bum more calories than we consume. For weight reduction to occur, you can either eat less food or exercise regularly-preferably both. Following popular reducing plans instead of this simple ap proach can soon lead to serious health problems or compound existing ones, Policastro says. A good example is the low carbohydrate diet which is the basis of the Scarsdale, Drinking Man’s, Calones-Don’t-Count, Air Force and similar diets. These plans cut carbohydrate con- NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN FILL THE SHOES? Try A Help Wanted Ad In Classified. Phone: 717-394-3047 or 717-626-1164 fSz' Fertilizer...

According to Policastro, there are two things wrong with this diet. First, the high fat content may contribute to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). And second, its low carbohydrate content could lead to ketosis. This, is a condition in which the body produces ketones for energy in stead of using available glucose from carbohydrate sources. The outcome of ketosis is nausea and suppressed appetite. A diet low in carbohydrates also causes the body to lose excess amounts of salt. Since water follows salt, much of the weight loss with this type of diet is water that can easily be regained. Other popular diets (such as the grapefruit diet) promote one particular food to aid in the “burning up” of another food. However, says Policastro, no food has been shown to accomplish this great feat.

Only a few kilocalories are used to fuel digestion-not enough to bum the calories consumed. Then there are the folks who think they must stop eating en tirely to lose weight. These people survive on non-caloric liquids. Besides the physical hazards of fasting, weight loss of this sort is only as permanent as the fasting.
