Q. IS THIS NEW DIET BASED ON SOUND REDUCING PRINCIPLES YOUR DOCTOR WILL
OK?
[Illustration: {uncaptioned}]
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.
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.
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.
Q. DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND TIME COUNTING CALORIES AND WORRYING ABOUT
