Slimming secrets revealed

<N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) LONDON, Nov. 8. How does the Queen manage to keep her figure so trim? Inundated with letters from people who complain because of all the business lunches they have to attend, “Slimming and Family Nutrition” magazine set out to investigate how the Queen achieved it. They talked to equerries and outers who have watched the Queen eating. The editor, Audrey Eyton, said: “It’s quite remarkable for a woman of her age with four children, and remembering her family’s natural tendency to put on weight She’s probably slimmer now than she was in her twenties.” The magazine, published last week, stuck its neck out and said firmly that some time ago the Queen went on a diet of 750 calories a day,, eating nothing but things such as fish, eggs and meat, i But there was no confirms-: tion of this particular fact; from the palace.

She has! now grown so used to tiny; portions that she has become a very small eater.”
