## Questions and answers regarding the NEW KNOX CHOICE-OF-FOODS diet:

4

Q. IS THIS NEW DIET BASED ON SOUND REDUCING PRINCIPLES YOUR DOCTOR WILL OK?

A. Indeed he will ... because the CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET is based on sound nutritional principles with which your doctor has had a great deal of experience. For many years the medical profession has advised the use of Food Exchange Lists[1] where proper diet is of the utmost importance to the patient’s very existence ... as in the case of the diabetic. Naturally, this system of dieting must provide with unfailing accuracy, the proper amounts of protein, minerals and vitamins essential to good health at all times.

Now, these carefully and scientifically developed Food Exchanges (or, as we call them ... CHOICES) have been adjusted to a reducing diet, making it one that can actually improve your health as well as control your weight.

5

Q. IF YOU HAVE TRIED OTHER WAYS OF REDUCING WITHOUT SUCCESS ... WHY WILL THE CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET SOLVE YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEM?

A. Weight control normally involves just 2 factors:

the knowledge of a few simple rules of nutrition and your own will power to carry them out. First of all, there’s no mystery about why you’ve put on weight. You’ve been eating more food than your body burns up ... so, this extra food has turned to fat. You will lose extra weight on this safe, sound diet ... because you’ll be eating fewer calories[2] than needed and will force your body to use the stored fat. You’ll find the CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET is more than a way to get rid of excess weight right now. It is a basic guide to good eating habits for anyone ... fat or thin. It will teach you what foods and how much of them to eat to get slim and stay slim.

6

Q. IS THIS A MONOTONOUS “SAME FOODS EVERY DAY” DIET ... OR IS IT A VARIED ONE YOU’LL FIND EASY TO STICK TO?

A. The Knox Choice-of-Foods diet offers you a wide variety of good, normal foods ... not extreme or faddish ones, from which to prepare meals you and your family will enjoy. In fact, the only way your family will know you’re dieting will be when they see you take smaller portions. A diet that allows you to eat such favorites as steak, baked potatoes, seafood and delicious desserts is one you’ll find easy to follow ... even long after you’ve reached your weight goal.

7

Q. DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND TIME COUNTING CALORIES AND WORRYING ABOUT BALANCED MEALS?

A. No, and this is one good reason why you’ll find it so easy to stay on the Knox Choice-of-Foods diet.

It does most of the work for you! As you look at the key to this reducing plan—the CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET LISTS (shown on pull-out chart following page 18) you will quickly see that the foods you must eat classify into 6 simple lists. The foods in amounts indicated in each of these lists are nutritional equals.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Under the Meat List you will find seven foods ... each one having the same amount of protein, carbohydrate, fat and calories—

Meat and poultry (Beef, lamb, pork, liver, chicken)

Cold Cuts (Salami, minced ham, Bologna, liverwurst, luncheon loaf)

Frankfurter

Egg

Fish (Haddock, flounder, bass, salmon, tuna, crab, lobster, shrimp, clams, oysters, sardines)

Cheese (Cheddar type, cottage)

Peanut butter

If yours is the 1200 daily calorie diet ... and calls for 4 of the foods on the Meat List ... just select any 4 of the foods you wish (in the quantity indicated) without thinking about calories and you can’t go wrong. The calories have already been counted for you when the list was prepared.

8

Q. WHY DOES PROTEIN PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS DIET?

A. Because this particular nutrient is a vital key to feeling, looking and doing your best at all times. The more science proves about protein, the more we know of its importance in the daily diet. Your body can’t store protein ... you must have a new supply of it every day to build and renew body tissues. You can readily see, then, why protein is so necessary in reducing diets. Without it, body tissues waste away, muscles sag and pep lags.

Q. HOW SOON WILL YOU SEE RESULTS ON THIS REDUCING DIET?

A. You will lose from one to three pounds[3] a week. However, don’t be discouraged if you lose slowly at first or if you lose at an irregular rate. Remember, you gained all these extra pounds over a period of time. Give yourself time to lose them.

9

Q. IF YOU GET HUNGRY ... ARE “BETWEEN-MEAL” SNACKS ALLOWED ON THIS DIET?

A. Yes! Because they not only make dieting more pleasant, they are necessary! Nutritionally, a “between-meal” snack does two things: gives dieters an “energy lift” needed at late morning and late afternoon. Also, it dulls the appetite, making the dieter content with less food at the next meal. Remember, however, these snacks must be kept within your daily calorie pattern!

## Choice-of-Foods diet allows you to have the famous Knox High-Protein Gelatine Drink 3 times a day.

(Yes, this is the same concentrated protein drink doctors have recommended for years ... as a pleasant way to get more protein in the daily diet of persons whose daily intake of this vital nutrient may be inadequate.) In the reducing diet, the Knox Drink works 3 ways:

1. It’s a wonderfully refreshing and filling “between-meal” treat
2. It curbs your appetite, so you are satisfied with less food
3. It supplies you with additional protein, a must when you are taking off excess weight.

10

## Take the Knox High-Protein Drink ½ hour before meals
... IN EITHER OF THESE APPETIZING WAYS:

AS A COLD DRINK (WITH FRUIT JUICES)

Empty 1 envelope Knox Gelatine in ¾ glass of orange juice, other fruit juices or water, not iced. Let liquid absorb the gelatine. Then stir briskly. Drink quickly. If it thickens, add more liquid, stir again.

AS A HOT DRINK (WITH BOUILLON)

Sprinkle 1 envelope Knox Gelatine on ¼ cup cold water to soften. Add 1 bouillon cube and ¾ cup boiling water. Stir until gelatine and bouillon cube are thoroughly dissolved. ¾ cup of any very hot broth may be used in place of bouillon.

Also, you’ll find you have a wide choice of delicious, filling Knox soups, salads and desserts that have so few calories ... you may have a serving of any one of them a day and not worry about upsetting your daily calorie pattern. Look for these delicious treats in the recipe section in back of book.

11

Q. AFTER YOUR WEIGHT GOAL IS REACHED, HOW WILL YOU KEEP YOUR SLENDER, NEW FIGURE?

A. The sensible eating habits you form while following the Knox Choice-of-Foods diet and the Knox “Booster” Drink will help you do this! You will find you’ve lost much of your desire for over-eating. You’ve seen the dramatic change in your looks and your feelings. You’re more attractive, feel younger, healthier, happier. Now you want to stay that way!

With the loss of excess weight, you are now entitled to more calories. However, always remember, too many more calories will put extra pounds right back on.

Actually, you can have about ½ as many more calories as your original diet plan called for. For instance, if you were on the 1200 calorie Knox diet, about 1800 calories is right for you to maintain your new weight.

As you have already learned on page 8, Protein is the vital key to feeling and looking your best at all times ... particularly when you are reducing or watching your weight as you are now doing. The Knox High-Protein “Booster” Drink[4] made with milk will not only add about 15 grams of useful, body-building Protein to your daily diet, but will also serve as a healthful curb to your appetite.

Take the Knox “Booster” Drink (with milk) ½ hour before lunch and dinner. In an 8 or 10 oz. dry glass, thoroughly mix 1 envelope Knox Gelatine with 3-6 tablespoons instant non-fat dry milk. (Varies with brand.) Fill with cold water. Stir briskly until milk thoroughly dissolves. Drink quickly.

12

Q. HOW DO YOU GET STARTED ON THE KNOX CHOICE-OF-FOODS DIET?

A. FIRST, find your desirable weight on the following chart; SECOND, determine the proper number of calories you need to lose weight. HERE’S HOW: Let’s say you are a woman 5′3″ tall and have a medium frame; according to the table you should weigh 128 lbs. Now multiplying this by 10 you will have the recommended daily calories you should have to lose weight properly.

128 × 10 = 1280 calories

## ALSO NOTE THESE SPECIAL MENU HELPS

1. When a recipe serving is listed as “Free Choice” it means that you may eat 1 serving without having to count it in your daily diet pattern.

2. Use the milk in your meal plan to drink, in coffee, on cereal, or with other foods.

3. Serve vegetables plain or with part of the meat or fat choice for seasoning. You may wish to use together the vegetables, milk, and meat choices in your meal plan. This way you can make soups, stews, or other dishes in which you combine several foods.

4. Measure all foods on the Bread List after they have been cooked.

5. Eat the meat or fish prepared for the family as long as no fat or flour has been added. Meat juices, with the fat removed, may be used with your meat or vegetables for added flavor.

It is important that you measure meat after it is cooked. Bones and extra fat should not be counted in the total weight. Cut off extra fat instead of eating it.

6. When you are on a reducing regime, no matter whether on a 1200, 1600, or 1800 calorie diet, use only the amount of fat permitted in that diet. You may use it in any way you prefer—as a spread, for seasoning foods, in dressing vegetables—but count the fat used in these ways as part of your total allowance for the day.

It is easier to diet when food looks so appealing that you don’t miss high-calorie foods or high-calorie extras.

16

## SPECIAL RECIPE HELPS

It may help you to have a list of some foods that are low in calories.

### LOW-CALORIE SWEETENERS

Because each teaspoon of sugar gives 20 calories, you can cut them down if you use a sweetener that will not supply any calories.

Low-calorie sweeteners mean sweet taste without calories and without sugar. The recipes in this booklet use saccharin (¼ grain tablets), Sucaryl (tablets or solution), and Sweeta (solution).

1 tablet saccharin | Equaled in sweetness by 1 teaspoon of sugar
or
1 tablet Sucaryl
or
⅛ tsp. Sucaryl solution
or
2 drops Sweeta

It is unwise to take more than a reasonable amount (equal to about 12 tablets) as the total in the day’s meals.

Liquid non-caloric sweeteners may be added directly to the dissolved gelatine mixture.

Non-caloric sweetening tablets may be crushed and stirred into the dissolved gelatine mixture, or they may be dissolved in small amount of the liquid called for in a recipe, then added.

### LOW-CALORIE FOODS

A number of low-calorie canned or bottle fruits, fruit juices, and beverages are now available in many markets. These foods add much interest in low-calorie diets.

Low-calorie foods used in recipes in this booklet include:

Canned Fruits, unsweetened

Canned Fruits, non-caloric sweetened

Canned Fruit Juices, unsweetened

Canned Fruit Juices, non-caloric sweetened

Carbonated Beverages, non-caloric sweetened

Skim milk is a low-caloric form of milk which helps with successful weight loss by keeping calories low while food value remains high. Fluid skim milk or non-fat dry milk solids can be used.

Non-fat dry milk solids plus water make skim milk. Follow directions on the package for correct proportions. To reliquefy—measure dry milk into glass; add 1 cup water and stir. Chill.

17

### STEPS TO SUCCESS WITH KNOX GELATINE RECIPES

To insure satisfactory jelling, the number of grains of Knox Unflavored Gelatine in each envelope is measured scientifically. Tablespoons vary in size. An “envelope” of gelatine is always an accurate measure.

To soften gelatine in all cold liquids except milk, sprinkle gelatine into ½ cup of the cold liquid. Let stand to soften.

To soften gelatine in ½ cup of cold milk, stir the gelatine into the milk.

To dissolve softened gelatine, stir into hot liquid required in the recipe, or place over hot water and stir until dissolved.

One envelope of gelatine will gel up to 2 cups of liquid.

When solids are added to 2 cups of a gelatine-liquid mixture, up to 2 cups may be added.

### MORE GEL-COOKERY HELPS

Fresh pineapple and frozen must be cooked before adding it to a gelatine mixture to insure jelling; canned pineapple can be used as it comes from the can.

When adding solid ingredients, the gelatine mixture is first chilled to the consistency of cold unbeaten egg white from fresh eggs. This prevents the solids from rising to the top or sinking to the bottom of the mold.

To chill the gelatine mixture quickly to the consistency of unbeaten egg white, half fill the lower part of a double boiler with ice and water. Set upper part of double boiler containing the gelatine-liquid mixture over the ice. Stir frequently until it is a smooth, evenly chilled, unbeaten egg white consistency. As an alternative, two bowls may be used instead of the double boiler.

When low-calorie sweeteners are used in the recipe, beat the egg whites stiff but not dry, then fold them in as directed.

If sugar is used in the recipe when beaten egg whites are added to the gelatine, beat a part of it into the egg whites as in meringues.

### HOW TO MOLD AND UNMOLD KNOX GELATINE DISHES

Jellied foods—soups, main dishes, salads, or desserts—can be molded in square, round, or loaf pans, muffin tins, washed tins from canned foods, bowls, cups, glasses, or paper drinking cups. For easy serving, a gelatine mixture may be chilled in serving dishes that will go directly to the table, or it may be spooned from bowls into serving dishes.

To unmold, dip the mold in warm or hot water to the depth of the gelatine—metal molds in warm water, glass molds in hot water. Loosen edge with the tip of a paring knife. Place the serving dish on top of the mold, the two tightly together, and turn upside down. Shake, holding the serving dish tightly to the mold. Carefully lift off the mold. Gelatine may be unmolded at serving time, or even as long as an hour or so before mealtime if the service plate or platter is put back in the refrigerator.

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
