In the meantime they pursued a more reasonable coarse in their eating habits, although I encouraged them to snack frequently throughout the day on fresh vegetables, seeds, plain popcorn, nuts, berries, and grapes. In fact, they soon got into a regular pattern of eating more often than they had done before the program, but it was spread out into numerous snacks instead of several big meals a day. They did virtually no exercise that I know of except some limited walking. Within five months on this program, both had lost inches off their waists, hips, thighs, buttocks, and bellies.

Nor were there any supermarkets with daily supplies of fresh vegetables from distant farms," he added. In roaming outside to look for something green, he noticed the farmer's fields of alfalfa. After announcing to the couple what he intended to give to his sick patient, the farmer's wife gave him a flabbergasted look. At first she thought he was joking, but soon realized he was earnest in his intention.

The "wholesale drug supplier" was the food merchant from whom fresh vegetables were purchased. Dr. Lindlahr's "prescriptions" were his diet slips. He was not joking when he would say to a patient, "You need something for your nerves," and write on his note pad, "Buttermilk." Thus, a laxative might be mashed prunes; a tonic, pot liquors. To the informed nutritionist of today, these remedies of Dr. Lindlahr do not seem ridiculous. FOODS AS MEDICINES In 1908, Dr. Lindlahr wrote: "Many of our more common foods were once highly prized herbal medicines.

When we agreed it was great to be able to buy fresh vegetables in the French open air neighborhood markets, she made a terrible face and said, "But they're so dirty.")

If they have real taste, chances are they have dirt on them. After you wash and dry them, cut into small pieces.

If you eat a diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits, you tend to get quite a bit of calcium. If you want a supplement, calcium citrate is easiest on the stomach.

So pile your plate with plenty of carbohydrate-rich pastas (without fatty sauces), low-fat cereals, breads, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits to fill you up while you're dropping down. Don't be too hard on yourself. If you can't relax and enjoy a treat now and then, you may eventually let slips turn into a downhill slide, says Susan Kayman, R.D., Dr.P.H., a dietitian and consultant with the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Oakland, California. There's no use berating yourself for every little bite of cake or steak.

Most of these foods in their whole or unprocessed forms are also loaded with fiber, which binds with fat and speeds it from your system. Beware fat wolves in sweet clothing.

If you want something sweet, try some fresh fruit or a bowl of sugared breakfast cereal with low-fat milk, she says.

From all of the foregoing we can conclude that a strict Pritikin regime is excellent to counterbalance the excesses of the SAD; a modified Pritikin approach, low in but not devoid of fats, low in but not devoid of salt, with reasonable amounts of whole grains, beans, fresh vegetables, and lean animal proteins, can be an excellent health-supportive regime for most people in our society.

By the summer of 1983, John was working fourteen hours a day in a restaurant and living on fresh vegetables, whole grains, pasta, fruit, and animal protein every day, with modest amounts of coffee, beer, and wine thrown in for good measure. He felt better than he'd ever felt during his three years on a healthy vegetarian regimen, a fact that we both found very interesting. It was obvious to us that his body had not reacted well to such a diet, although many other people thrive on it. "Perhaps it's because I'm a Leo," he joked one day.
