HOLLYWOOD DIET

FROM 10th DAY ONWARDS. THE REMAINING MENUS. Much interest has been evinced in the publication of the first nine menus for the “18 Day Diet,” and those who have undertaken this course of “corrective feeding” will now be able to observe with joy that their curves are fading “wisibly!” It is again emphasised that plenty of exercise and a little judicious massage should be indulged in. if one doesn’t want wrinkles to appear where once fat reigned supreme. The remaining menus are given below:— Tenth Day. Lunch.—One half grapefruit, one lamb chop, lettuce, tea. Dinner One half grapefruit, one lamb chop lettuce, tea. Eleventh Dav. Lunch.—Cinnamon toast, tea. Dinner.—-Grilled steak, tomato, celery, olives, tea. Twelfth Day. Lunch.—One half lobster, one half grapefruit, biscuits, coffee. Dinner.—Two grilled chops, cold slaw, one tomato, one orange, three olives. Thirteenth Day. Lunch.—One egg, grapefruit, one slice Melba toast. Dinner.—Grilled steak, grapefruit, tomato, coffee. Fourteenth Day. Lunch.—One egg. one half grapefruit. one slice Melba toast, coffee. Dinner—Grilled steak, grapefruit, tomato, coffee. Fifteenth Day. Lunch.—One egg. one half grapefruit. tomato, one slice Melba toast. Dinner.—Two chops with halfspoonful tomato catsup, one slice Melba toast, one half grapefruit. Sixteenth Day. Lunch.—One egg, one tomato, one half grape fruit, coffee. Dinner.—Grilled steak, plain spinach, orange. Seventeenth Day. Lunch.—One chop, grapefruit, lettuce. Dinner.—Grilled steak, tomato, celery, olives. Eighteenth Day. Lunch.—One egg, two tomatoes, one half grapefruit, coffee. Dinner.—One grilled fish, one half grapefruit, plain spinach. Breakfast is the same each day, consisting of one half grapefruit, and coffee (without milk or sugar). Melba toast is simply very thin slices of bread dried in the oven until brown and crisp. Cold slaw is raw cabbage, shredded very finely, and allowed to stand in cold water for half an hour. It is then covered with cider vinegar and either cream or a good French dressing. A meat salad is any cold meat with the usual salad. Eggs mav be boiled or poached, but never buttered or fried. Readers are really rather lucky to obtain this diet formula so easily, as the original formula, obtained by an American actress from a famous physician, is said to have cost £lOO. “Olive” would be glad to hear of the success of any ladies who have undertaken the diet. One lady rang ,in to sav that she commenced the diet last Sunday and by Wednesday she had lost half a stone!
