Want to go on a Four-Day Reducing Diet? Or
a Six-Day, a Seven-Day, a Nine-Day, or an Eighteen-Day Diet?
Fine—if you do it with your eyes open. There are a few facts about short-term
reducing diets that must be offered for the record.
To begin with, the notion that any diet,
faithfully followed for eight or nine or any other short period of days, can
permanently solve your weight worries is a cruel and inhuman illusion. It is
certainly true that you can reduce your weight gratifyingly and safely by
following such diets—but what happens afterward?
If you revert to your old eating habits
after nine days’ abstemiousness, first thing you know you'll have to repeat the
limited diet all over again, and this alternation can go on until St. Peter
weighs you in.
There is nothing to equal short-term
reducing diets in getting you started on your weight reducing program. Many of
the popular ones, however, run for too short a
period to get your weight down to ideal
level.
