Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“I saw a few die of hunger…of eating, a hundred thousand.”
Benjamin Franklin
Poor Richard’s Almanack 1736
Benjamin Franklin's observation that he saw more
people die from eating than from starvation is certainly
pertinent today. For, if you weigh more than you
should, the chances are better than 9 out of 10 that
your extra pounds have accumulated because of overeating.
When you store up weight, you are also likely to
store up future troubles. These could include diabetes,
gall bladder and kidney disorders, heart disease or high
blood pressure . . . to mention a few.
In fact, studies show that the death rate from all
causes is 22 percent higher for people who are from
5 to 14 percent overweight than for people of normal
weight. Among people who are 25 percent overweight,
mortality is about 75 percent higher.
If you are overweight, why delay the obvious advantages
of reducing? Before you start to reduce, however,
there are some pitfalls you will want to know about
and avoid.
First are the drastic dietary fads which usually limit
you to a few foods. and second is the indiscriminate
use of so-called "reducing pills." Only when overweight
is accompanied by a serious disease may quick reducing
be desirable.
The safe and sane diet is the one that reduces you
slowly . . . two to three pounds per week . . . and that
permanently keeps you at your best weight. In fact,
throughout adult life it is a good rule to keep your
weight at slightly below the level that is normal for
your age and body build, or bone structure.
It is always wise to let your doctor decide what you
should weigh and, equally important, let him plan your
reducing diet. He will see to it that your meals are
properly balanced, especially in protein, vitamin and
mineral content.
Do not expect too much too soon when you start
dieting. It took a long time to acquire those surplus
pounds . . . and it will take time to lose them. If you
want to keep check on your progress, weigh yourself
weekly, rather than day to day. If you stick to your
diet, your weekly weighings will eventually show how
much you are losing in weight.
Once your weight is down. try to avoid any return to
your old ways of overeating . . . and gaining. For per-
manent weight control usually brings a rich reward-
better health and a(Ida(I years in which to enjoy it.
