This book is for you. Written primarily for the overweight, it should prove of equal value to all who have a curiosity or concern about their body, about what makes the machine tick—the human diet. It will show you how to feed that machine for a maximum working efficiency with least breakdown and greatest durability.

Our reducing diet will be painless because it is easy to follow and pleasant to take. No ineffectual calorie counting—no flavored yet vomitory mixture or oil to drink—and no starvation! Simply by eating more of high-protein foods (meats that stick-to-the-ribs, "anti-cholesterol" fish, "perfect food" milk and its products), you will set in motion the physiological processes which will reshape your body into what it might have been and can still become.
