TELL ME, DOCTOR How to Stay Out of the Hospital . By R. I. CANUTESON, M.D. (Director, University Health Service) --- Clothes designers and life insurance companies frown upon overweight. The former establish clothes styles upon emaciated models; the latter repeat the true and lugubrious observation that too much fat shortens life. The obese fall into two general classes: Those who eat with abandon and shun physical activity, and those who, although they may not euxhobbitantly, store food as fat instead of using it for energy. These latter are commonly called the glandular type of obesities. The treatment of both is the same cut down on food intake. There is no easy way to lose weight. It requires an objective, a stern will and a little help from friends. It must more difficult if some from a large group of people who have heavy frames and who have kept them well padded. You can't lose weight by exercise unless you reduce your food intake below the level of energy expended. A pat of butter will provide enough energy to let you climb Mt. Oread. But exercise during weight reduction is important to avoid flabby muscles and sagging waist lines. Not every one can expect to fit the usual height-weight charts. There are too many individual variations in frame structure and development. Height-weight tables are only rough guides. The average K. U. coed arrives on the campus measuring 64 inches in height and 119 pounds in weight; the average man weighs 142 pounds and is 5 feet 9. It is safe to say that a coed coulle add 20 pounds and a man 50 pounds without putting either of them in the overweight class, but it may put a strain on their clothes. If you sucker for weight gain, you might chin chin and a strain on the belt, then it is time to consult the weight charts and see where you are headed. There are no reducing medicines. Drugs have been advertised to make you reduce your appetite or to speed up the rate at which you burn your food. Most of these are not only useless but they are dangerous. in some cases deficiency of the thyroid gland contributes to storage of food in the form of fat. These cases must be sorted out carefully and even so they will not lose weight on thyroid treatment. Upon a rigid reducing diet added vitamins are sometimes advised. This all amounts to a very simple formula: if you want to lose weight you must eat less food than is required for your usual physical activities. And it is useless to cheat on a reducing diet because the scales will reveal your failure to stick to the prescribed food intake. The safest way to go about reducing is upon your doctor's advice. If you are in good health and too fat, a reducing diet properly graded will do you no harm and will faithfully result. If have a glandular deficiency he can prescribe for it along with the diet. A worthy objective for a man is to control his weight so that when he gets to be 40 his chest measure will be appreciably greater than his belt line. And girls should remember that it is an old custom for the bridegroom to carry his bridge across the threshold—so watch your weight. Feb. 26 P. S.
